How to compare air conditioner?

Can you trust review reports like Consumer Report?

• What is there to know about air conditioner's?
• Can you trust review reports?

Central air conditioners need to be installed and connected to ductwork, and performance depends on the size and condition of your home, the climate where you live and other factors that make comparative testing impossible. Although no one tests central air conditioners, we found many helpful guides for choosing one. Experts say the major consideration -- even before brand -- is hiring a reputable contractor.

Few reviews on air conditioner but even the ones out there should be questioned for example Consumer Report.
Consumer Report has a review saying which unit has fewer repair history, but is interesting seeing that Trane fewer repair than American Standard which is the same product and the same you can say about Bryant and Carrier.

In the Air Conditioning World there is nothing where an contractor has to give an report of what brand of equipment he serviced that day. This is just an opinion, not based on facts.

When you consider facts the you can argue like, United Technology ( CARRIER and BRYANT) has Microtubing Technology or Tin plated coils, or that Trane has Aluminum over aluminum coil the doesn't cause electrolysis (just an example, because on that note Aluminum over Copper has better heat transfer), but the issue is the you can see the facts not opinions.

Just lessen to your contractor ask them about is company, if they are NATE Certified, also find out some key pointers like:

• 2 Stage Compressor (Dual Speed) or Single Compressor
• Variable Speed Air Handler or Standard
• Communicating Unit
• Humidity Control
