Good advice but its even simpler than that. If you really research the components included under the skin in most of these machines, you'll find there isn't a world of difference between them. Hence the reason the warranties are virtually identical across the industry. The name on the outside of the case is becoming almost irrelevant, with the exception of a few of the high end high SEER systems.

What I find amusing, is that he doesn't even know the length of his 'own' equipment warranty, let alone the other manufactures of HVAC equipment.

Then to think he knows specific components making up said equipment well enough to give a longevity comparison is completely mind blowing.

Admittedly, no professional, but continues to debate the subject at hand with a professional.
Only thing worse than a 'know it all' that has to rely on other people to complete his own HVAC project, is one handing out inaccurate information to someone seeking advice.
