* Note: We used AI assistance to compute the GJANA-AI comparative rating for each HVAC system. Our rating computations used a point system based on eight key factors: Efficiency, Price Range, Warranty, Cooling/Heating Capacity, Features, Noise Level, Consumer Reviews, and Energy Star Certification. Each factor was rated on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best. For Efficiency, higher SEER and AFUE ratings received more points. A lower price range was favored with more points, while a longer warranty also garnered additional points. Higher cooling and heating capacity in BTUs was considered better. Systems with more features and lower noise levels in decibels received higher scores. For Consumer Reviews, a “positive” sentiment received a full score of 5 points. Finally, systems that are Energy Star Certified received 5 points, while those that are not received 0 points. The total points for each system were then summed up to provide an overall comparative rating.
