Thinking about upgrading your furnace this spring? With several big names on the market, shopping for a new model can feel overwhelming. Not sure which brand to choose? Let’s explore how Trane, Lennox, and Carrier furnaces stack up in Lower Mainland climates. Plus, we’ll discuss why professional installation and maintenance matters just as much as brand selection (if not more!).

Brand Analysis: Trane Canada vs Carrier vs Lennox

Trane Furnaces: Over 100 Years of Reliability

Widely regarded as one of the most trusted brands in the HVAC business, Trane has been voted America’s most trusted HVAC brand for 11 years in a row. Our technicians regularly recommend Trane for these reasons:

  • 17-Year Average Lifespan: Trane models outlasting both Carrier and Lennox in our service records. In over 20 years, we found that Trane models break down substantially less than other brands.
  • High-Quality Products: Did you know that Trane’s CleanEffect system was reviewed by a team of Harvard researchers, who determined it to be the best whole-house air filtration system on the market? Enjoy top-notch quality, energy efficiency, and air quality with every single Trane system installed. 
  • State-of-the-Art Testing: All Trane products are put through 16 weeks of thorough and comprehensive testing, demonstrating Trane’s commitment to quality

Carrier and Lennox Furnaces

While some consumers might choose these brands for their innovative designs or energy efficiency, Lennox and Carrier don’t offer the same reliability or durability as Trane. In our experience, Carrier and Lennox units break down more often and don’t offer the same return on investment as Trane Furnace.
