The Leading Furnace Brands in the Industry

Some of the leading furnace brands available to you include:

Armstrong furnaces have been around since 1928. The company produces furnaces with efficiency ratings as high as 95 percent. However, they do not have a great repair record and do not offer furnaces over 95 percent efficiency. Like their parent company, Lennox, they are ISO certified and share many components with Lennox furnaces. They are good if you’re looking for a simple, economical furnace with no bells or whistles.
Bryant/Carrier traces its history back to 1902, and the company makes some of the most high-efficiency furnaces around. They are leaders in the industry and merged to become one of the best furnace manufacturers in the world. Their furnaces are known for reliability, ease of use and durability. Their oil furnaces are mid-range for efficiency. However, their gas furnaces are technologically advanced and offer great warranties for parts and heat exchangers. The brands are divided into Carrier and Bryant, and Bryant furnace parts will often be identical to Carrier, but with longer warranties (up to 10 years). They also offer air cleaners and furnace filters.
Trane furnaces are among the most highly recommended furnace brands around. They offer a full line of gas furnaces along with heat pumps and complete home heating systems. This eliminates the need to mix and match furnace parts. Trane offers whole-home systems for both heating and cooling. Their furnaces are solid, offering up to 80 percent efficiency, but they are hardly the most high-tech manufacturer on the market.
York is the oldest furnace manufacturer, having been founded in 1874. Today, it is one of the most advanced companies around, offering oil, gas and high-efficiency furnaces (though Trane and Carrier are better furnaces for high-efficiency needs). They also offer package deals such as heating and cooling systems and the ability to customize furnace colors to match your home.

These are just a few of the many furnace manufacturers you should look into. If you are buying or replacing your furnace, do some research on these manufacturers and others to determine which brand is best for you.
