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
When it comes to features, the LX™ Series YFE doesn’t come with as many options as a more advanced model like the LX™ Series YCG. Unlike the YCG model, the YFE isn’t ENERGY STAR®-certified, but it still maintains a relatively high SEER Rating which ensures that you’ll save on energy costs.
Model Comparison by Price
As a member of York’s economy line of air conditioners, the LX™ Series YFE is more budget-friendly than the YCG model, which belongs to a more advanced line. However, while the YFE model comes at a lower initial cost, Canadian consumers will be able to save more with the YCG model due to its higher SEER Rating.
Model Comparison by Tier
The LX™ Series YFE falls under York’s lower tier of air conditioners, as it doesn’t include as many frills as the premium Affinity™ Series models, and is not ENERGY STAR-certified like its more advanced LX™ Series counterparts. Nevertheless, the YFE model is ideal for customers looking for a simple yet reliable, budget-friendly model.
