My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Trane air handler & A/C or Goodman A/C and comfort-aire handler ?

5 years ago

Hi,


For a new construction with 2 levels. each level 1600 Sq foot In the NYC area

For each level (2 separate zones ) Would you go with a 5Ton Trane XR13 or 14 and a GAM5 air handler with a Hydronic Coil for heat

or

5Ton Goodman GSX 13 or 14 with a comfort Aire handler AHG 60?


Taking into account performance, price, reliability, efficiency


Planning to go coil(hydronic) for heat but wanted thoughts on coil vs furnace for heat....


Thank you!
