Lennox HVAC
Among the major names in HVAC, Lennox stands out for its long heritage and reputation for pushing the limits of efficiency. For this review, I focused on three cornerstone products that reflect the brand’s residential ducted portfolio: the SLP99V Gas Furnace, the SL28XCV Variable-Capacity Air Conditioner, and the XP25 Variable-Capacity Heat Pump. Together, these models showcase what Lennox brings to homeowners who demand consistent comfort, low energy bills, and technology that balances innovation with real-world reliability. Over years of field testing and speaking with homeowners, I’ve seen both the strengths and the areas where Lennox could improve, and this review reflects that balance.
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.
