Great customer service
I am parked upon the adventure of replacing the blower in my furnace, which was 27 years old. Searching the Internet told me that nobody had a blower a comp compatible with my furnace because my furnace model number was so out of date. I called supply house and explained the situation. The person that answered the phone said I can totally help you with that. She said we have databases that coincide current products with old furnaces. She gave me the part number and the part number for my capacitor and I went online and ordered both from supply house they arrived Four days later and the install was seamless and easy. A new furnace was priced at $8000 paying someone to do this repair for me would've been about 1000. I paid $236 learned a lot and have a fully functioning furnace.

I would look here at the SupplyHouse for future HVAC parts
My mom's furnace motor was starting hard and it's in central NY. I got the numbers off the motor and found it here at supplyHouse and got it ordered. Easy transaction and got it shipped right out. Arrived in three days. Put it in on the 5th day and went very smooth as it was a perfect fit.
