| Ok so I've narrowed down my replacement a/c system to the following:
Lennox XC13-042 3.5 ton with Lennox 4 ton coil - $4550
The Lennox has a 10 year warranty. The Trane XR I believe has a 10 year warrany. The Trane XB is either 5 or 8...not sure. Both are reputable installers and authorized dealers. What are your thoughts on Trane vs. Lennox? Which would be the cost effective option in the long run? |

| as long as the evap coil is a Lennox(not a third party) and you get the 10 yr warranty parts and compressor, then go with the Lennox XC13. I would not pay $1K additional for the Trane XR13. IMO |
|
| Additional info. The furnace is fine. It's a single stage 80,000 btu Trane. So no issues mixing and matching brands? Is the XR worth $700 more than the XB? Based on past data, which is more likely to fail quicker? Based on my reading, I am a bit shy on the Lennox due to reviews...but should I be? |
|
| Yes, its' a Lennox coil Yes, the Lennox has a 10 year compressor warranty. 5 years on parts but it becomes 10 after you register the unit with Lennox. They will extend the warranty to 12 years parts AND labor for another $550. I might ask they throw that in for free. Probably worth it. |

| Ok, thanks. So I shouldn't be concerned with the Lennox unit. |
