You might be reading this on an Apple device, driving a GMC, and sipping a Tim Hortons. Brands matter—we get it. But HVAC is different.
With cars or phones, we often choose the brand first, then the dealer. A Honda Civic is a Honda Civic no matter where you buy it. But in HVAC, the dealer is the manufacturer in many ways. The difference in performance, reliability, and lifespan doesn’t come down to brand—it comes down to installation.
Here’s what most people don’t know: while there are more than 150 HVAC brand names in North America, they all come from just a handful of parent companies.
In fact, the major internal components—motors, compressors, circuit boards—often come from the same global manufacturers: Emerson, Honeywell, and Johnson Controls.
So what’s the real difference?
It isn’t 97.3% efficiency vs 97.4%. It isn’t the touchscreen thermostat. It’s who installs it. Poor duct sizing, sloppy gas work, or incorrect venting will sabotage even the most expensive system. That’s why choosing the right contractor matters more than choosing the right logo.
At Signature Plumbing & Heating, every install is handled by certified Red Seal professionals. We size it right, install it right, and stand behind the work. Brands matter—but your contractor matters more.
Unlike a Honda Civic, the products HVAC contractors buy must be assembled using a variety of parts and are uncalibrated. It’s our job as heating and cooling contractors to assemble the equipment and fine-tune it specifically for your home. The only place manufacturers pre-configure HVAC systems is in their testing labs.
Furnaces and air conditioners don’t just snap together and plug in. It takes about $15,000 in tools and years of training to complete what the manufacturer started. In a way, we’re the final step in the manufacturing line — and that step happens in your basement or backyard.
So why do brands like Lennox, Carrier, and Trane have more name recognition? It’s because national advertising campaigns are designed to make sure you’ve heard of them. That doesn’t always mean they’re better — just better known.
Refrigeration is the process of removing heat from inside your home and releasing it outdoors. It’s not about creating cold air — it’s about transferring unwanted heat. This is done using a refrigerant: a chemical that easily changes from a liquid to a gas and back again as it travels through your system.
Modern residential air conditioners use refrigerants like R-410A (older systems may still contain phased-out R-22). These refrigerants absorb heat inside your home, then release it outside — repeating this cycle continuously.
A typical central air conditioner has four main components:
Here’s how the system works:

How an AC works
Humidity plays a big role in how we perceive heat. Our bodies naturally cool down when sweat evaporates from the skin, releasing body heat in the process. But in a humid environment, that evaporation slows down — making everything feel hotter and more uncomfortable.
As air in your home passes over the evaporator coil, the coil doesn’t just absorb heat — it also removes moisture from the air. The result? Air coming out of your vents feels cooler and drier. That collected moisture then drains through a hose into your home’s drainage system.
Interestingly, the first air conditioning units were invented not to cool the air, but to control humidity. Temperature control just happened to be a bonus. Hot summers were never the same after that.
It’s not (just) the heat, it’s the humidity.
