Amana are mid-priced, and Goodman are the least expensive. Daikin central air conditioners are the most expensive. And then Daikin, a global leader in mini split systems, bought Goodman in 2012, acquiring Amana too. Goodman bought the Amana brand in the 1990s. Goodman remains the low-cost leader in the industry, and its warranties are among the best. Goodman vs Amana: These are identical brands – Same parts, same assembly line.

Trane, Lennox, Carrier, Bryant, Heil and most Rheem central air conditioners are sold in a package of the equipment plus installation. However, it is worth noting that you cannot buy most of these brands without also paying for installation. Our Prices column shows the cost of the equipment alone, as mentioned earlier – Everything but the labor fees. The Carrier Corporation makes Carrier and Bryant using the same parts, in the same factory. Johnson Controls makes less profit on these units, but they’d rather sell you an Evcon than have you buy a Goodman or other cheap online brand and not make any profit. In the case of Evcon, the equipment is the same as York and the other Johnson Controls brands, but ACs are available in just two models, a 14 SEER and 17 SEER central air conditioner. Carrier makes Payne, and Lennox makes Ducane, for example. Several of the largest manufacturers make a low-cost brand to compete for bargain shoppers, cost-conscious homeowners who won’t pay the higher cost of a York, Carrier, Trane, Lennox, etc. If you choose a higher-quality brand, like a Carrier or Trane, the cost goes up to more than $6,000.Įvcon? Never heard of the brand! That’s a common response.Įvcon is made by Johnson Controls, the manufacturer of HVAC brands you probably are familiar with – York, Luxaire and Coleman, plus a few others. A cheap Goodman or Evcon starts at around $4,000 installed.
