heat pump questions

18 years ago

Hi new here! We are looking for a new heat pump.

Does anyone know anything about a TAPPAN heat pump.

The guy said it was better that a trane. I can't seem to find much info on tappan pumps, but they quoted us a price of $3,000.00 to install. Also repairs to our duct work.

Seems too good to be true! Any input would be appreciated. thanks

Nothing wrong with the Tappan brand. Check what kind of warranty your particular model caries; some are very good.

As long as it is the right size, ON A NEW MATCHING INDOOR COIL and he installs it properly, it's just fine. Great warranty but much of that warranty does require registration with the matched coil.

I'd buy one before a Trane (for heat output reasons) but I'm likely a small minority.
