90% at least are Carrier. I cannot recall ever seeing a Mitsubishi main heat pump. Plenty of mini-splits are Mitsi, and they seem to be quite reliable.
When I run across a Trane? It's old, effective and still working like a champ. I'm not saying Carrier are bad, I'm saying that some homes build in the 90s and early 2000s are still using the original Tranes. I have never seen a carrier over 20 years old and still functioning.

Part of your conclusion may be attributable to the fact that the builder installed Trane units in the older houses, and then switched to Carrier within the past 20 years or so. Because 90 percent of the houses have a Carrier, I would be more likely to buy a Carrier because I know that it can be repaired quickly and the parts will be available.
