Heil HVAC
Heil may not be the first HVAC brand homeowners think of, but industry insiders know it as part of ICP (International Comfort Products)—the same corporate family that builds Carrier and Bryant systems. This means Heil equipment often shares the same engineering DNA as its premium siblings, but is marketed at a slightly lower price point with fewer flashy brand campaigns.
For this review, I’ll focus on Heil’s flagship Ion™ series: the Ion 98 G97CMN Furnace, the Ion 21 Variable-Speed Air Conditioner, and the Ion Variable-Speed Heat Pump HVH8. Together, these represent Heil’s top technology tier, blending high efficiency, modulating or inverter-driven performance, and smart connectivity. In my experience, Heil appeals to homeowners who want near-premium comfort without paying Carrier Infinity pricing.
Maytag HVAC
Maytag has a long history in American households, originally known for appliances and now also a recognized name in heating and cooling. The residential HVAC lineup is designed to balance dependable comfort, efficiency, and warranty protection, with products often favored by families who want equipment that will last.
For this review, I’ll focus on three representative models: the PGC2TE-VS Gas Furnace, the PSA4BF Air Conditioner, and the PSH4BE Heat Pump. Together, they show how the company approaches both traditional gas heating and modern electric cooling and heating. These systems are built with reliability and everyday performance in mind, while also offering warranties that give homeowners peace of mind.
