Our air conditioner is on its last legs and will most likely not last the summer -- it's 22 years old, so can't complain too much. The proposed replacement is one of either, 1) 14 SEER American Standard, 2) 14 SEER Rheem, or 3) 14.5 SEER Carrier. All of these are direct 5 ton replacements for the existing unit.
Has anyone recently gone through a replacement or had experiences (good or bad) with these manufacturers? Looking for data points in multiple places, and folks on this newsgroup have a diversity of experience with multiple things, so am asking for input.
Thanks in advance.
