Three years ago I had a Trane/Carrier heat pump system installed.
Trane and Carrier make at least 17 models and at least 16 are
exactly identical.
This is the approach I recommend to any serious radio amateur
considering a replacement heat pump, heating system or air
conditioning system:
First: My primary selection criteria was minimum RFI, every other
selection criteria was secondary or lower. This disqualified all of
the more efficient Trane/Carrier models.
Second: My installer agreed to a "no RFI" clause in my contract.
He consulted with Trane/Carrier and they told my contractor that
there was no RFI risk with the system in my contract.
I have never heard a trace of RFI radiated by this heat pump system.
Truth in advertising: My antennas are spread across more than
20 acres. No antennas are within 200 feet of the heat pump.
My low band receiving antennas are more than 700 feet away.

My system uses a Carrier FX4 "Comfort Series" air handler (the indoor unit).

and a Bryant 214D "Legacy Series" heat pump (the outdoor unit)

I highly recommend a Trane.
Do not use Goodman - they are only "contractor/builder" grade and die in a few
years. I have gone thru 5 Goodmans in 12 years (we have 3 heat pumps) and my
Trane is by far the best.
