4.9
(9)
"Donaldson!"
"Did a lot of research recently on this (just had furnace replaced) they are very good and I went with them."
"Donaldson has been great for me. quick service."
"Donaldson - respectful group. Clear concise information. Worth every dollar."
"Another vote for Donaldson"
"Another vote for Donaldson, they're great"
"Came to say Donaldson as well. They are our go-to."
"Donaldson heating. Customer service is amazing. Been using their services for 5 years, multiple issues and can say I've never had a bad experience."
"Donaldson or M & K."

Devil Forge
4.8
(5)
"Devil forge will melt cast iron just fine. It has a max temp of 3000F."
"It's still doing absolutely just fine to this day."
"It’s great because comes with everything you will need."
"As far as the best setups go premade id have to say devil forge is the way to go."
"But sure Devil Forge is fine for a beginner that wants a plug and play solution."
#3
Lennox
3.0
(7)
"My son (el297v HE) and I (ml296v HE) have Lennox (70K BTU, 2 stage, variable speed) and are very pleased."
"We both have Ecobee 3 with 2 addn sensors."
"As my builder supplied Carrier components get replaced, I use Lennox"
"My Lennox system is 24 years old and still works fine."
"Lennox, nine years old, just died without warning. In fact, it could have killed us, as the CO2 levels were "just under" the level that the monitors detect."
"We're forced to replace the Lennox we got, after NINE years. They don't make them like yours anymore,sadly."
"We got a Lennox just 9 nears ago and it has completely failed - a crack in something or other that we didn't know it had was causing CO2 levels in the house."
#4
Bryant
4.0
(5)
"Bryant is the most reliable, should be 30 year warranty on the heat exchangers. 2 stage since it’s only 200 difference, it would be more comfortable too"
"Bryant 926tc would be my choice. 10 year part and labor and has a better build quality than a Coleman."
"If your stuck with those 3..... Bryant. Its a re-wrapped Carrier. They used to have better heat exchanger warranty but 10 year parts and labour sound good."
"I'm going bryant between those 3... I'm not offering Trane anymore."
"Bryant single"
#5
Bosch
4.5
(4)
"Bosch IDS system. they are very quiet and you can use any standard 24v thermostat."
"I suggest dual fuel system. Look into the Bosch IDS system. 2 stage 96% efficient furnace + seer 20 heat pump."
"Bosch Mitsubishi both have products that perform very well."
"Good brands are trane/American standard, bosch carrier use to be good but think they've been having issues last couple years"
#6
Goodman
4.0
(4)
"It’s been great but it’s near the end of its life and I’m going to replace it and am thinking about a new version."
"I've had good luck with Goodman. I have one of their higher end 2 stage gas furnaces. No issues in the 6 years I've had it."
"Goodman seems to be the simplest and parts are usually always available."
"Goodman is the easiest to work on"
#7
