I replaced a Trane with a Goodman (15 seer matched set / AC only). My unit was original from 1992, new one saved us probably $70 a month all summer long, runs about the same amount of time but quieter and cooler.

I've been to the Dakin manufacturing plant, yes it has.
Some incredible things are coming to the hvac industry here in the states.
Have you seen the new VAV zoning kit for their VRV/VRF system? Looks very interesting.
Its about time for stuff like this. Carrier tried something like this 20 years ago, but the technology wasn't really there.
Like the mini split stuff, that stuff will probably sell in Europe and Russia before it comes here.

Some of it. Most of the stuff they are working on here in the states is for residential.
Can't wait for the new stuff.
OP, I had a Carrier that was 16 years old when I replaced it with two Trane units 7 years ago. a 2.5T for the upstairs 3.5 for the downstairs. My HVAC guy purchased the units at his price and I helped him install them. I think I paid about $6800 all in.
Anyway, my point is that he was a commercial Facilities engineer for a hospital system. He knows his stuff at least on the commercial side of things. He did side work for 20 years.
When it came to putting this stuff in he did not do the calculations to figure on new ductwork to right size the equipment for the size of the house etc...and I didn't know any better. We just pulled one out put two in and sealed off the trunk line that splits the 1st and 2nd levels. My electric bills are not something I look forward to. Also, one of the Trane units (the larger) has had a compressor replaced and a heat pack replaced and several other more minor problems. The other has been perfect. I know you aren't looking at Trane and that is a good thing, in my opinion.
Good luck.
