Name: N J Ashmore From day one, this unit has been so loud that we are unable to go to sleep at night - the unit sits outside the bedroom wall. It is loud, and vibrates the entire wing of the house. We have to get the house cooled down enough before bedtime so that we can get to sleep - the last thing we do before going to bed is to re-set the temp to its regular setting. It cools OK, nothing spectacular. Certainly not worth the cost of the unit. No - I will never purchase another AC from this company. Poor quality and poor service. Computer board failed in 12 months.

Bryant offers three lines of energy-efficient central air conditioners as part of its Preferred Series. Each unit uses Puron refrigerant for eco-friendly cooling of up to 5 tons. The manufacturer promotes the Preferred Series' "quiet as a dishwasher" operation, with noise levels as low as 72 dB. A single-speed scroll compressor, 8-pole fan motor, compressor blanket and a galvanized steel cabinet are among the components designed to help the unit cool quietly.

The Bryant Preferred also features a two-stage scroll compressor and an optional Thermidistat designed to keep humidity levels low and temperature constant throughout climate changes.

Now we are in 2013 and it needs anotherIt cost me $485.00 to find the leak and it is going to cost over $600.00 to replace the coil. This will be the third coil. together we have spent over 2K to keep this thing running in the summerThe Bryant company is no help. I have talked to themI would never ever buy or recommend a Bryant to anyone. Wish there was someone I could turn to for help. 18 years of abuse and the unit will not die. The unit was builder installed by Air Engineers. Over the last 18 years, only repair other than maintenance was a fuse. The inconvenience of R-22 recharges are the only reason I am replacing the 3.5 ton unit. It would turn our 2200 sq. ft 2-story into a meat locker. I do have a small freon leak and the insideOur neighbor has a number of Bryants, stillWe are looking at a Comfortmaker or a Carrier as the local Bryant contractors have increased their prices dramatically.

My Bryant AC is almost 20 years old (according to my maintenance guy) and with the hot Texas summers, I'm always surprised I've made it anotherI keep getting pitched on a new one but don't see the point. Bryant unit has been so dependable. Location: Cape Coral, FL I purchased this a/c from a local dealer 12 years ago and couldn't beWhat more could you ask for? Being in Florida, this a/c gets a workout year round. "Bryant AC has been great!" Very satisfied with the Bryant 3 ton, 127a Preferred Series 2 stage scroll ac unit and Preferred Series 80x Plus gas furnace. Very quiet and cooled extremely well during the second hottest summer on record in the Dallas Forth Worth, Texas area. Far better than the almost 10 year old Trane unit it replaced. The Trane was always being repaired, was very noisy and shuddered terribly every time it turned on. It eventually became more cost effective to replace than continue to repair. Also, it was never able to effectively cool the upstairs even when it was new.

Along with the new AC and gas furnace, our installer also added a return air and supply air vent to promote better air circulation. Not sure if we just had a better installer than some of those who posted negative reviews, but our Bryant system has been great. Many new AC units have been installed in our neighborhood and the Bryant is one the quietest. We received quotes on Trane, Amana, Ruud, Bryant and Payne. Trane and Amana were the most expensive and Payne the least. We went with the Bryant because we liked being able to get a 2 stage scroll unit at a reasonable price. Also, the installer we chose was able to install multiple brands and didn't have to push a particular product. This allowed us to make the best decision for our needs and our budget. We are very happy with our Bryant and will install again when it is time to replace our downstairs Trane unit, which needed a new motor this summer. Location: St. Louis, MO "Bryant system never performed" From day 1 the cooling of the Preferred 123A 2-ton unit was never as good

as the 12-year-old Rheem it replaced. After 5 years, two years of adding Freon, this one is going on the recycle truck. Bryant home office and the installer aren't interested in standing behind their product or "127ANA 2 SPEED with FV varriable speed ahu" My two speed 127ANA / FV4 Preferred Bryant system is quite, efficient and has superior humidity control. My wife and I love it and we are saving big time on my electricity bill. We can set the this smart system at a comfortqble 78 degrees all day and maintain a constant temperature and humidity control with Bryant's T6 Thermidistat controller. Goodbye to Trane's old and loud design that leaks with its aluminum coils and outdated technology that is full of hot air.. Bryant is certainly a winner and our choice with over 100 years in inovation and superior reliable products for cooling and heating deliverying upmost comfort! Location: Yorba Linda, CA My Bryant dealer installed my 4 ton Puron air conditioning system with a 90i furnace the summer of 1997.

I have not had a single breakdown of my system. All I do is hose off the outdoor unit several times a summer and clean my electronic air cleaner. My electric bill is always lower then my neighbors, who by the way have a smaller home than mine. I would recommend Bryant to anyone that want a quality unit. Someone said their Bryant unit was junk from China. I checked Bryant and their a/c units are made in TN and furnaces are made in Indianapolis. Several reviews around the web recommend the Preferred Series as an economical solution for energy-efficient heating. note that although this model doesn't carry the highest efficiency ratings, the unit's durability and features make it a valuable option in its class. , one potential con of this unit can be found in its single-stage compressor, which can mean less precise climate control and more fluctuations in temperature and humidity than other options. Consequently, this reviewer suggests homeowners in warmer climates consider a unit with a higher SEER.
