OK, I know it's the middle of summer. But at the end of last winter I vowed it was time to replace my furnace / air handler / A/C unit.

I have a 13 year old propane fired unit which is fully condensing, but it has needed repairs almost every year and now the drip pan for the A/C coils is rusted through, which is about the last straw.

Anyone have any recommendations for brand names of quality equipment? I have a combined furnace, blower, and A/C unit in my basement, about 115 KBTU. Compressor and fan, etc. located outside, which, by the way, seem to be fine.

Don't want a heat pump.

TIA for any advice!

Rgds,

trying to be ahead of the game for once...

If you get on some of the HVAC contractor sites, the brand mentioned most often as "the killer app" is Trane. Its also been discussed that a good installer can make a lousy piece of equipment work better than the best piece of equipment in the hands of an amateur.
