It closely matches other efficiency ratings for other competitors units. One thing of note, the Bryant does not have an ECM variable speed blower like many others have in their high efficiency package systems. While it is closely rated the same others, it definitely could be more with an ECM variable speed blower motor.Consumer Ratings - About BryantBryant was founded in 1904 by Charles Bryant offering gas fired boilers.

I have been doing some calling around locally and check some reviews on the internet recently. I have decided that either the Bryant or Goodman central air unit would be a good fit.

Does anyone have their personal experiences with either unit, good or bad? My neighbor has the Goodman 2.5 ton system in his 14,500 square footage home, he states it's quiet, and keeps his home cool, but this is one family and would like to reach out to the forum for input from other people and professionals in the field . Price on both are very close, Bryant is approximately $100.00 more funds. 1,459 posts, read 3,550,578 times 8,293 posts, read 18,613,882 times Originally Posted by vette-dude I just had a 2.5 ton Payne central air unit installed on a rental house. Payne is the "generic" version of Carrier, but carries the exact same warranty and - according to the salesman - has all the same guts. 10 year parts, 2 year labor. The salesman guy I talked to said that the Goodmans aren't really the best units. Of course, he's apt to say that since it isn't the brand he sells and installs. So take it with a grain of salt...

I like the Goodmans for severe use because they are torture tested for environments like apartment complexes because of the lacking knowledge in that industry. They pass and in fact most run when they really shouldn't although I've seen a newer system die, but it's not suicide it's oily acidic murder. 2,007 posts, read 2,870,138 times 385 posts, read 935,462 times here's a good site to check out the price of the parts. powered by Genie Air Conditioning and Heating Inc. is the largest distributor of window & wall Air Conditioner units in the U.S. They've got a 2.5 ton Fedder's for $688.00. I live in a 15 year old condo complex. 90% are still original. They are using Goodman's as replacemnets but I've heard they are lower cost. Also using AMerican Standard. My Carrier was my favorite. The Rheem's blower lasted 1 Summer in Phoenix.

The Evolution Extreme is Bryant's "top of the line" offering.  In efficiency, sound, and operational resiliency it is one of the best heat pumps in the industry.  The Bryant Evolution Extreme is one of my personal favorites (along with the Carrier Infinity).Note some of the Evolution Extreme's unique characteristics:The Evolution Standard was also listed as a Consumer Digest Best Buy of 2012 and contains high marks for efficiency....but not as high as the Evolution Extreme.  See below for more details on each model. Capacity Range:The Bryant Evolution Extreme can cool variably up to 4.75 tons. Where the Evolution Standard is available in increments from 3 to 5 tons.Efficiency:You have already read about the heating efficiency above.  But here is the breakdown....

pressor:Both Bryant heat pumps use R-410a scroll compressors.Of course, the big difference between the Evolution Extreme and the Evolution Standard is that the Extreme uses a variable speed compressor which allows for great efficiency, low noise, and also helps the compressor to last.The Evolution Standard utilizes a two-speed compressor.Physical Size:This information is unpublished.Physical Characteristics:The Evolution is constructed of powder coated steel and is reinforced with Bryant proprietary DuraGuard Plus; a special coating that helps this frame and sheeting to last.Warranty:A decent warranty is available....10 years parts only warranty....IF....you registration your product with Bryant after purchasing it.  If you do not register, the warranty is reduced to five years. The Preferred Series is Bryant's "middle tiered" offering which combines energy efficiency with decent first cost.It is not as energy efficient as the Evolution, but also not as expensive.  If the Evolution series is outside your budget, but you still want a efficient heat pump, this could be a good compromise.

Here are a few of the Preferred Series' unique features: Capacity Range:The Bryant Preferred Series offers heat pumps that range between 2 and 5 tons of cooling, while the Preferred Compact offers these sizes as well as 1.5 tons.Efficiency:The Preferred Series operates very efficiently for its cost.  Below is the summary.  You may use it to compare with the efficiency of other heat pumps on the market.pressor:The Preferred is available in two stage or single stage compressors.  Two stage compressors typically last longer due to the decreased on and off cycling of a two stage heat pump.  The Preferred Compact is a less expensive version that comes only with a single stage compressor.Both Preferred models use R-410a as its refrigerant.Physical Characteristics:The Preferred Series is constructed of powder coated sheet metal and is reinforced with the Bryant proprietary DuraGuard Plus.  The sheet metal construction is slightly less durable than that of its big brother, the Bryant Evolution series.

Warranty:All Bryant heat pump models presented on this page are the same...10 year parts warranty with registration....5 year parts warranty without registration. The Bryant Legacy is the most first-cost effective option.  If you are looking for a cheap installation and you are not concerned about future efficiency....this may be your best Bryant option.But how does this compare with the "bottom tiered" models of other manufacturers? Capacity Range:This Bryant heat pump offers units in the range of capacities of 1.5 tons to 5 tons.Efficiency:The Legacy Series on one of the most efficient bottom tiered model on the market today.  In fact, it is more efficient that many "middle tiered" models presented by the competition:Compressor:The Legacy is one of the most efficient single stage compressors available.  It utilizes R-410a as it refrigerant.Physical Characteristics:This is where Bryant sacrifices some quality.  Some Legacy models are available with a special DuraGuard coating to prevent early degradation.
