Carrier and Lennox: Pros and Cons
The Carrier vs. Lennox debate has been going on for about as long as the two companies have been the biggest names in home comfort solutions.
Both offer products with low monthly operating costs, excellent warranties, and the cooling capacity required to keep you comfortable all summer long.
Choosing the right brand and model requires careful consideration of both your budget and the cooling needs of your home*. In a comparison of Carrier and Lennox air conditioners, there are three main factors to consider: purchase price, energy efficiency, and noise level.

Selection and Value
Carrier and Lennox both offer three series of air conditioners. Each represents a different price point: The Carrier Infinity® series and the Dave Lennox Signature® Collection represent their respective manufacturer’s top-end products, and both deliver similar benchmarks in terms of energy efficiency and noise level.
At the mid-range price are the Lennox Elite® and Carrier Performance® series; again, both offer similar energy efficiency ratings, though the Carrier product line has a lower average decibel rating.
The Lennox Merit® series and Carrier Comfort® series represent each company’s entry-level offering; in this category, Carrier is the clear winner — the Comfort series is both quieter and more energy efficient than its Lennox counterpart.
Carrier vs. Lennox: Technology
On paper, the comparison between Carrier and Lennox products may seem similar, though one area in which Carrier clearly excels is technology.
Carrier HVAC products feature sophisticated and intuitive technology that allows you to set complex comfort schedules — heating and cooling — from one integrated control panel. Carrier AC units also provide superior dehumidification, allowing you to set your thermostat higher than normal without compromising your comfort.
