[QUOTE="Thump_rrr, post: 14775308, member: 36572"] So now Lowes is the Barometer for quality? Lowes also dropped Klein tools to bring in their own Southwire brand in from China. Pay a little more for top quality and keep jobs in America.

I'm an independent contractor not affiliated with any one brand. For packaged rooftop units which are price competitive this is my order of preference. Trane, York, Lennox, Carrier. Trane is the most simple to troubleshoot and setup, York are a close second but wiring diagrams suck, Lennox although well made also suffer from horribly complicated wiring and parts pricing which is out of line compared to other brands. Carrier rooftop units especially the 48 series have flimsy sheetmetal and poor filter access. For residential my 2 favorite are Trane for the as mentioned TAM7 and TAM 8 plastic indoor units. Rheem for the best designed outdoor unit as far as service goes. On most any unit you must remove the condenser fan and reach down into the unit to replace the compressor while on a Rheem it is in a separate compartment on the side of the unit. It can be seen on page 2.
