Some time ago I saw a link to an a/c rating site, maybe consumer reports, well now I need it and can't find it. Help please, thanks:wall:

If you are looking for energy efficiency ratings, the above link is what you want. If you are looking for the "best" equipment, forget it. Installation is 95% of the job. Find an installer in your area with the best reputation & let him/her select the equipment.
I installed equipment in my own house which many contractors call junk. It has been in for 15 years with NO trouble & only "homeowner" type maintenance, such as keeping the air filters changed & rinsing out the outdoor coil a couple of times each summer.
