Byrant Evolution vs. Lennox Signature
Harleynut
10 years ago
We are replacing our furnace and AC and have received bids on the Bryant Evolution, Bryant Preferred, Lennox Signature and Lennox Elite.
We live in SE Minnesota so winters are cold and summers can be humid but usually only a couple of months. Our current system is 19 years old and limping along. We live in a 2 story home with a basement. It's has 3 manual zones. Registers in the basement are in the floor as well.
Which brands are recommended?
Do I need a 2-stage?
Do I need a modulating?
Is the difference in BTU for each furnace just because of the different manufacturers/models?
Here are my quotes:
Bryant Evolution modulating furnace and 2-stage AC
987M 80,000 BTU
187B 2-stage AC, 16.8 SEER
Evolution Connex control w/wifi
After rebates $7739
Zoning package for above was $1972
Same as above with single stage AC(186B): $6881
Bryant Preferred
925T 80,000 BTU Furnace
127A 2 stage AC 16 SEER
Honeywell focus pro 6000 wi-fi
After rebates $5956
Zoning package for above was $1653
Same as above with single stage AC (126B): $5472

14ACX-036, 16SEER
Pro6000 thermostat
$5845 after rebates
Lennox Elite, 2-stage, variable, 90,000BTU
el296uhv-090, 96%
14ACX-036 AC, 16 seer (same AC as above)
