AC Reviews???

Is there a site where one can go that would give an honest review of all whole house AC units? Kind of a ''consumer report"
Thanks

I don't think there is such thing out there... There are sooo many variable out there on installs.. Installs is the biggest factor for the equipement to work right..


If the equipement isn't installed right, it will have a short life.

Lot of the guys will agree, install results is what important before brand.. Then how the dealer will handel things for warranity and service.

Replacement is also part of the install the right way..

Say, your current system is a 2 ton, and the dealer did a rule of thumb (Don't go for this!) and says you need 4 tons of cooling.. he installs this, and the duct in the home was sized for 2 tons of cooling... Now the duct is undersized... now your system is going to cycle on and off often.. That's hard on the system.. also shortens the life. Now you will be an unhappy customer..
