AC Brands We Install | Frisco, TX & Surrounding Areas

Choosing the right AC brand is one of the biggest decisions you'll make during your installation. At Varsity Zone HVAC, we've selected four industry-leading manufacturers that we trust to perform in the demanding North Texas climate. Each brand offers different strengths, and we'll help you find the right match for your home, budget, and comfort priorities.

Trane

Best for: Durability and reliability in extreme heat

Trane's tagline — "It's Hard to Stop a Trane" — isn't just marketing. Their systems are engineered and tested in some of the harshest conditions imaginable, making them a natural fit for North Texas summers. Trane's XV series uses variable-speed technology for efficiency and comfort, while their XR series offers strong performance at a more accessible price point. Trane consistently ranks among the most reliable brands in consumer surveys.

Efficiency range: SEER2 13.4 to 22+
Warranty: Up to 12-year parts warranty with registration
Best models for Frisco: Trane XV20i (premium), Trane XR17 (mid-range), Trane XR14 (value)

Carrier

Best for: Innovation and advanced features

Carrier invented modern air conditioning in 1902 and continues leading the industry in technology and efficiency. Their Infinity series offers variable-speed compressors that adjust output in tiny increments — delivering consistent temperatures with whisper-quiet operation. Carrier systems are known for excellent humidity control, which is critical in North Texas where summer humidity makes 95°F feel like 105°F.

Efficiency range: SEER2 13.4 to 24+
Warranty: Up to 10-year parts warranty with registration
Best models for Frisco: Carrier Infinity 24 (premium), Carrier Performance 17 (mid-range), Carrier Comfort 14 (value)

Goodman

Best for: Dependable performance at the best price

Goodman is one of the most popular brands in North Texas for good reason — they deliver reliable cooling at the most competitive price points in the industry. Manufactured in Houston, TX, Goodman systems are built for Southern heat. Their GSXC18 model offers strong efficiency and quiet operation at a price point significantly below premium brands. For homeowners who want quality AC without the premium price tag, Goodman is hard to beat.

Efficiency range: SEER2 13.4 to 19+
Warranty: Up to 10-year parts warranty with registration
Best models for Frisco: Goodman GSXC18 (mid-range), Goodman GSXN6 (value)

Amana

Best for: Lifetime warranty and long-term peace of mind

Amana is one of the few brands in the industry offering a lifetime limited warranty on the compressor — the most expensive component in your AC system. Built by the same parent company as Goodman (Daikin), Amana systems share proven manufacturing quality while offering upgraded features and premium warranty coverage. Their AVXC20 series delivers variable-speed comfort and excellent efficiency, while the ASXC16 and ASXH16 lines hit the sweet spot for homeowners who want strong performance with outstanding warranty protection.

Efficiency range: SEER2 13.4 to 21+
Warranty: Lifetime limited compressor warranty; up to 10-year parts warranty with registration
Best models for Frisco: Amana AVXC20 (premium), Amana ASXC16 (mid-range), Amana ANX13 (value)

Which Brand Is Right for Your Home?

There's no single "best" brand — the right choice depends on your priorities:

• Lowest upfront cost: Goodman — the best value in the industry without sacrificing reliability
• Best long-term energy savings: Carrier Infinity or Trane XV series — top-tier variable-speed efficiency
• Maximum durability in extreme heat: Trane XV or XR series — built to survive North Texas summers
• Best warranty coverage: Amana (lifetime compressor warranty) or Trane (up to 12 years parts)
• Quietest operation: Carrier Infinity series — whisper-quiet variable-speed technology
• Best overall value (our most popular recommendation): Trane XR or Amana ASXC16 — strong efficiency, proven reliability, outstanding warranty protection
