In order to help homeowners shop for furnaces and air conditioners, we developed our own proprietary algorithms which weigh a range of criteria and factors to provide an easy-to-compare grade (e.g. B-, A+, etc).
Warranty Grade: It can be difficult to know which brands and models offer the best warranty coverage, particularly because a lot of the key details are hidden in dense warranty documents filled with hard to understand legalese. Thankfully for you, we’ve carefully studied them and created this grading system to account for things like the length AND quality of their guarantee, coverage restrictions and more!
Overall Grade: This grade weighs key factors like efficiency, ENERGY STAR certification, comfort, noise level (for A/Cs), our warranty grade, and more.

Comparable Models by York
Model Comparison by Features
In comparison to the Affinity™ Series TCHD, a lower-level model from York’s premium line, you’ll find that the LX™ Series YCD has the same SEER Rating of up to 13, but it doesn’t offer the QuietDrive™ System technology that reaches levels of sound reduction achievable with the TCHD model. However, the YCD model still maintains a comfortable level of sound production.
Model Comparison by Price
In terms of cost, the LX™ Series YCD is superior compared to the Affinity™ Series TCHD. You will save the same amount on long-term energy costs with both models, however, the YCD model is a part of York economy lines and therefore comes at a lower cost upon purchase.
Model Comparison by Tier
As a member of the economy line, the LX™ Series YCD is on the lower end of York’s air conditioning spectrum. It doesn’t offer as many amenities as the more advanced models, nor is it ENERGY STAR®-certified, however, it’s a more affordable option for customers looking for simple cooling comfort.
