"Evaporator coil leaking on 2 year old ac $$$$"
We built a new house in late 2009 and they installed a Bryant 113a model ac unit. Here it is spring of 2012, the third season it would have been run and the evaporator coil has a leak. Looks like labor and freon is going to be about $900. Thanks Bryant for making a piece of junk. Wish I had my 20 year old unit from our old house back.

"Evaporator coils"
This unit was installed when we built our house (Feb. 2010). The furnace has worked fine but the ac failed after 2 years. There is a leak in the evaporator coil. After talking to multiple Bryant dealers, we had quotes from $450 to $1200 to replace the coil even though the coil is still under warranty. The $450 seems reasonable for coolant and labor. The $1200 is way excessive. Some of the dealers said they have stopped selling Bryant because they had to replace the coils in half of the units. Two differernt dealers also told us that Bryant has redesigned the coil in 2010 (after our unit was manufactured and installed) and the new ones are much better. We still haven't called Bryant yet but we will do that this week.

"Great Unit, Great Contractor"
We had this unit installed by All Temp Heating and Air Conditioning. The unit is great and the contractor was even better. The contractor seemed extremely familiar with the unit and the pros and cons. The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio is 13. The unit is very quiet, the house remains cool, and my energy bills have dropped.

"Flawless"
I bought this a/c with a matching Bryant variable speed furnace. (see my furnace review under Bryant) I was at first shocked at the size of the the unit compared with my old Carrier, but now after 12 years I don't even notice it. It is a Puron (r410a) refrigerant unit (which I was at first skeptical because it was new at the time) and has run without fail for over 12 years now. It's quiet (at least quieter than my neighbors) and I will definately look to Bryant again, (if I ever need to.)

"Inside fan coil"
After being installed in Sep of 09, it was diagnosed as needing to be replaced again this Oct. Called Bryant, went thru 3 people being told basically it isn't their problem. Expect this coil to last long enough to get out of warranty. This issue is ongoing.

"Good for 11 years"
We have owned our unit now for 11 years and only had it cleaned (regular maintenance) two times. If we did regular maintance who know maybe it would still be working great. Now it has a leak in the heat pump coil and was really dirty. Our fault. We are looking at replacing the outside and inside unit now with a Bryant because ours did so well, and yes we will do regular maintenance this time. Oh, the outside unit is still in pretty good condition according to the tech. So Bryant has done well for us.

"Excellent AC unit. Go with Bryant!"
Since I got my Central AC unit 3 years ago my electric bill has been lower even with the recent inflation. This AC unit specialized in maximizing cost efficiency through several way, one being it's on off system. This unit will keep you cool but not run round the clock even in the hottest of summer days down here in Florida. I have not ever needed it repaired and I can't even think of one negative. I highly recommend this product.

"Bryant AC has been great!"
Very satisfied with the Bryant 3 ton, 127a Preferred Series 2 stage scroll ac unit and Preferred Series 80x Plus gas furnace. Very quiet and cooled extremely well during the second hottest summer on record in the Dallas Forth Worth, Texas area. Far better than the almost 10 year old Trane unit it replaced. The Trane was always being repaired, was very noisy and shuddered terribly every time it turned on. It eventually became more cost effective to replace than continue to repair. Also, it was never able to effectively cool the upstairs even when it was new. Along with the new AC and gas furnace, our installer also added a return air and supply air vent to promote better air circulation. Not sure if we just had a better installer than some of those who posted negative reviews, but our Bryant system has been great. Many new AC units have been installed in our neighborhood and the Bryant is one the quietest. We received quotes on Trane, Amana, Ruud, Bryant and Payne. Trane and Amana were the most expensive and Payne the least. We went with the Bryant because we liked being able to get a 2 stage scroll unit at a reasonable price. Also, the installer we chose was able to install multiple brands and didn't have to push a particular product. This allowed us to make the best decision for our needs and our budget. We are very happy with our Bryant and will install again when it is time to replace our downstairs Trane unit, which needed a new motor this summer.

"Vibration Causing Wear and Shut Down"
This seems to be a very poorly designed unit. Poor placement of components. Vibration of wire against metal cabinet edge wore hole in insulation causing unit to short out. A year later vibration of two copper tubes against each other wore a hole in on which let the coolant leak out. Two times now, I have paid to have this unit repaired because of a poorly engineered product. I will not ever buy a Bryant unit again.
