Compare furnace brands Trane versus Westinghouse?

Question

We're trying to decide whether to spend the extra money on Trane. We've heard Westinghouse furnace and heat pumps are good quality and less expensive. Would like to get homeowners' or hvac contractors' opinions.

Answer 1

I've seen a lot of old Trane units. Old. Old and still doing the job.

But like Lennox and the other top quality units, ----Trane is only available through franchise installers, which runs the price up.

When the time come to replace mine, I going with Trane.

Answer 2

You probably heard they were good from the dealer that sells them.

Most of the time you get what you pay for.

If you live in a metropolitan area I would get another price on the same make from another dealer just so you know their in line.

I think you will always have the best chance of getting a quality product and installation by buying the top name brands.

They will be more likely to be around and supply replacement parts that may be needed in the future.

Answer 3

Trane is way over priced.You will be no happier if you own one compared to another less expensive unit.Ruud and Goodman are also quality units that are cost efficient.Warranties offered are just as good as those offered by Trane.
