Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Need a new furnace - What brand furnace do you recommend?
Any recommendations on gas forced air furnaces? Buying a house and the current 40 year old furnace needs to go. Current furnace is a Rheem.
Are all the major brands pretty comparable? Costco has a deal on Lennox furnaces. Anyone have experience with buying through Costco? What others should I be looking at? Also looking for HVAC company recommendations who work in the Arvada area.

If you're not capable of doing the actual install just let the hvac co provide a quote with parts and labor save yourself a bunch of headache.
Either of the coar15 guys are good to go
Definitely not planning on installing myself. Just looking for some data on the different brands/HVAC companies.
My A/C went balls up last year I decided to replace it and my 16 year old furnace in a package deal. Ended up going with similar efficiency A/C we don't run it much and it worked just fine. But my furnace I upgraded to one of the super efficient models with stronger fan. We keep the fan going all day to keep the air circulating. I really noticed the amount of dust that accumulates has gone way down (three dogs, lots of dander). Rooms are more evenly warmed/cooled. Better filters keep the furnace cleaner as well. Cost's less to heat and cool than the original equipment put in by the home builder. Carrier furnace is what we went with. Between that and replacing my windows it has proven to be much more comfortable in the summer and winter.
Armageddon was yesterday, today we have a real problem.

Goodman is what was recommended to us and installed. It's treated us well for 10+ years. Finally had a failure to startup and it was just a pressure sensor, few bucks at the local supply house.
Sometimes people trip and fall down stairs.
Sometimes assholes push people down stairs.
That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.
Most of your HVAC guys are going to have one, maybe two brands that they sell. If they are reputable, it will be a decent brand and they likely know which models to avoid in the line.
Have Trane furnaces, but do not like their AC units so I had my HVAC guy get me Amana (Goodman is the same, just different warranties) and better line-sets.
We use Valley Heating and Air at my work and they do outstanding work.

Most major brands are created equal. The biggest factor is proper sizing and installation. I am not the biggest fan of Goodman/Amana but that's just my opinion and what I've seen. But I've installed all the brands. Whoever you use, make sure they are licensed, insured and pull a permit for the install. That's the only way to protect yourself against improper installation and potential insurance and home resale issues.
