Which Furnace Brand is the best with the least number of reported problems?
When trying to make a decision on what furnace to buy can be very overwhelming and confusing. Furnace installers say one thing, blogs and advertising say another. I decide to do my own research and get to the bottom of things. With the help of Google Search the following query was used.
“problem –furnace manufacture name- furnace”
problem goodman furnace
problem lennox furnace
etc….
Google search time frame was limited to 1 year. The furnace with the most number of results returned in the search query where considered to be the worst performing furnaces on the market. The basic assumption is the more people discussing problem about different manufactures means that particular furnace manufacture’s product is experiencing problems and equipment is need of repair.
Here are the results of the search queries using Google. Seven furnace manufactures where using in experiment.
Goodman is the #1 Brand

- The cheapest price for the Goodman
- Installation price for furnace is $500 for labor only.
- don’t let furnace sales guys use scare tactics to sucker you into buy expensive models (such as Trane) and with promises of 10 year parts and labor. 10 year warranty is only valid if you get your furnace serviced every year by a technician.
- Goodman is have the price with the least number of complains and problems.
