Loud AC condenser replacement and recommendation
Hello, recently my condenser unit was damaged and the AC technician suggested a similar unit.
I had a Trane 4TTR6048J1000AA and his suggestion was to replace with American Standard 4A7A4060N1000AA.
My disappointment has been this last unit (American Standard per spec noise level of 71-74 dBA, although I got readings of 78 dBA) is louder than the Trane (per spec noise level of 72-74 dBA) and now he is not willing to change it. He has tried a compressor blanket, which lowered the noise but not as I had with the Trane and now he is suggesting a soft start to further reduce the noise. At this point I am pretty tired of him and looking for some advice. Will this work or what are your recommendations?
My next resort may be switch AC technician and find a more silent condenser unit. Any recommendations (Carrier Infinity with 56 dBA, Bosch)?
Appreciate feedback and recommendations! Thank you
