What is the best HVAC brand for residential AC ?
I get a kick out of charts like the one from Life story Research because sometimes it is only about brand recognition, not reliability. American Standard Companies is now Trane. On the chart, they occupy positions 1 and 9 for essentially the same product coming off the same lines and factories. It's all about advertising, nothing else really. They all make good/better/best types of products and print nice glossy brochures, some are seen more on TV or have a memorable tag line. Some best have had spectacular failures.
