After reviewing the current Consumer Reports we found that Trane and American Standard were rated the best. We also discovered that hiring a good installer was equally as important as getting a good system. We decided to go with Trane and Dan's (rated A+ with BBB) and we are so thrilled that we did. Wayne was our consultant and was so friendly as well as super knowledgable. There was no pressure to get any particular system he really was just there to help us get what suited us best. We called him several times as we debated the more expensive systems vs the lower end and different combinations of furnaces and A/C's and he was just a joy to deal with. He was always glad to take our calls and answer our questions. During the consultation he even gave me a sheet with the photos and name of every employee including installers so I would know who to expect and let into my house. That was very much appreciated! The installers were equally as great. Quick, efficient and kind. The install was done in a day. They stopped for a short lunch and came directly back. (If you've worked with contractors you'll know why I was impressed lol) They were even sweet to my three year old son who was just enamored with their tools and equipment and stood at the door to ask questions while they worked. We've worked with a lot of servicemen/contractors over the years and these guys are definitely worth their salt. We will absolutely recommend them to everyone we know!
