How does this product compare to a trane model of equal size?
I had my Carrier Performance 93 installed in July 2008. The first winter the electronic controls had a problem, which continues to this day. I do not experience this with the AC, although to note the AC was used very infrequently. The problem: the system runs, however periodically, about 30% of the time, after it turns off (after reaching the thermostat temperature setting) the unit does not come back on again, which requires that I power down, power on the unit to reset.
