Friends often ask me which brand of airconditioner they ought to buy, and though I have some I’d recommend I usually tell them to choose one the best and most reliable installing company recommends because a good installation is far more important than the brand.
Time and again I see consumers taking the lowest bid and then just a few years later they have to replace the entire system. Believe me, you don’t want jackleg low-bid contractors doing any work for you because they take shortcuts and make basic mistakes. On the other hand, companies with a long track record of excellent work seldom make mistakes and usually sell the most reliable brands because better equipment manufacturers don’t allow the unqualified to install their equipment.
