What is the Best Brand? - Short #233


Listen Later

In this short podcast episode, Bryan answers a listener-submitted question: what is the best brand of equipment for residential new construction?

A lot of people have their own personal preferences when it comes to brands, whether that's with equipment, tools, or even cars. However, when it comes to HVAC equipment, there are a lot of factors that come into play, especially as far as local support is concerned. Are the distributors and territory managers accessible? Reliable? Bryan's personal preferences deal a lot with American (or at least North American) manufacturing and the strength of their local support in the Central Florida market.

Some manufacturers have excellent base products but weak product lines, and others have weak base products but great specialized equipment. These judgments come from personal experience, and that's especially true of large manufacturers. Bryan recommends taking a measured, slow approach to products you deal with and then choosing the one that works best for your market and customers. You may find yourself gravitating towards equipment with certain components (like Copeland compressors, for example). You may gravitate towards manufacturers that take feedback about their products and have great local support. The "best brand" really depends on your experiences, values, and business needs.
