Use ASHRAE data to determine which will be the most economical to operate. They both use the same major components. Being a technician, I would always pick Trane over Carrier, only because Carrier seems to be always "reinventing the wheel" when engineering their electronic controls. Consider also ICP (now owned by Carrier). ICP brands include Heil, Tempstar and Sears. Excellent equipment. Carrier has not yet micromanaged ICP's design/ engineering departments out of bulletproof design practices. lc

I know of Trane and American Standard
The tonnage of a Trane heat pump can vary depending on the specific model. Common residential heat pumps typically range from 1.5 to 5 tons. To determine the exact tonnage for a particular model, it's best to consult the product specifications or the manufacturer's documentation for that specific unit.
One can purchase replacement parts for Trane heat pumps from a few specialist sources. Among the companies that sell these parts are RepairClinic, AmericanHVACParts and Trane themselves.
never use trane, because I can't find a part to fix, they contract charge you huge.

You can buy a new Trane Heat Pump online from Cross Heating & Cooling, Overcashier & Horst HTG, D.A. Mechanical or Reckingers Heating & Cooling. Alternatively, you can purchase this item from eBay.
