Which is better, Ruud or Trane

PRICE A TRAIN is usually more expensive, but not always.
Ruud is much more affordable, especially in the 13-14.5 SEER range. Ruud offers a wide range of reliable, affordable base equipment. Trane has done a good job in marketing to position itself as a brand at the top of their class. It is a well-known product.



Ruud is a great brand, too.

The Best of Ruud. Ruud makes low-cost, high efficiency air conditioners. There are two models: the aAchiever Seriesa as well as the aUltra series. However, all of their models are extremely durable and have good SEE ratings. Ruud's AC units are of excellent quality if installed correctly.
