I am a newbie to the site and have become addicted to all the forums. Before I forget I want to thank everyone for taking the time to post answers and alternative ideas to the DIY's of the world. I have learned a ton from you all.
Now the "meat" of my post!!! My wife and I are building a new house and have been researching the different HVAC options. We are outside city limits so our options are all electric or propane. We have decided on a heat pump with a secondary heat source of propane. We have a supplier that was pushing York up until this week then through in an option for Armstrong. Our house is about 3000 sq ft and is 2 story. They have figured 95% efficient equipment from York and 14 seer a/c units. The Armstrong unit is around 93% efficient and 14 seer. About all I know about Armstrong is that they are made by Lennox. Also after doing some googling I have seen several complaints about Armstrong equipment. I am open to suggestions if anyone can give me some pros and cons of either brand.
Thanks again for all the help to this point.
