You can always take a chance and go the eBay route.

Find a local dealer who has taken the time and expended the effort to build a good reputation, then go with what that dealer offers.
The newer furnaces with their 96% efficiency are vastly different than those of years ago.

Those guys cost me a small fortune on a package unit that was supposed to be in omaha within a week,Didnt show up for a month and was still the wrong unit!
It ended up costing me for a whole **** load of rotten produce at my friends store over their stupidity.
I told them I had a really big mouth and I know lots of people,And Ill continue to spread the word about those idiots as long as Im breathing.

If possible, DO NOT use a horizontal furnace. Personal experience.

Good to know! Thanks!
Was your personal experience recent? Was it with a high efficiency or B-vent unit? Curious as to what problems you had.
Not Rheem but several friends and I have ordered 10 furnaces or AC units from these guys over the last few years.........they ship FEDEX right to the door. One or two day service.

I've always worked with Rheem. Just a brand I like and trust. I've heard many horror stories about goodman. I don't like carrier or lennox. Armstrong seems like jusnk to me. So, just like some people are Ford or Chevy, I'm Rheem.

To the best of my knowledge Goodman was acquired by a Japanese company, Daiken, (sp?), I have a Daiken (sp?) in my home.

Sorry to hear that you had that experience with Ingrams. Between my house, our work and a few friends I think I've bought 10 different units from them. Each has arrived promptly and in good shape. I will say all the one's I've purchased have been Goodman and they have preformed well over the years.
BTW, Daiken is Japanese.
If your interested this link provides info on each major manufacture on who owns which brands.

If you have a EPA 608, just call your local Rheem/Ruud supply house to see if they will sell to you. Ferguson's, which has locations in many states, are the supplier in my area... and when I spoke with them, they stated they would sell as long as one had a EPA card (Rheem distributor in DE stated the same). You local supply house might be different. I didn't find about Ferguson's being the supplier in my area until I was doing some plumbing work.
As for the where I got my Rheem heat pump... I ordered the heat pump from Ingrams and picked up the coil from a different supply house in Delaware (i'm just over the state line in MD). Ingram's shipping was FAST!!! My heat pump showed up in 3 days from the time I ordered.
