The difference is the sticker on the outside of the unit and the slightly higher price for parts on the Bryant. Go with the Rheem but don't be mad at me when it breaks down, the Bryant will too.

Typically these machines come with a 10 year parts warranty. Provided it was registered by the installer and you are the original owner. If you are not the original owner TYPICALLY that drops your part warranty to 5 years. Conpressor may still have 10. Extended warranties generally mean your warranty is for PARTS AND LABOR. I have seen where customers do not buy the extended warranty AT TIME OF PURCHASE but do purchase this at a later date, obviously at an increased rate. You can contact the manufacturer WITH COMPLETE MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBERS OF BOTH INDOOR AND OUTDOOR UNITS and they will be able to give you the information you need.

With a non heat pump it is a simple 24 volt AC control circuit. In the attic there is a relay that is actuated via the fan control wire directly from the thermostat. On the thermostat there is an auto/man switch that controls the fan. Manual the fan runs all the time. Auto fan turns on and off with the outside compressor.
If the system is not calling for cool and the fan continues to run the fan relay is sticking. common problem. Sometimes after running for several days the relay will stop sticking if not, replace relay.
If the system is calling for cool and the compressor stops I would still expect the fan to run until thermostat tells the A/C to off. Some compressor units include a safety switch or high-pressure cut-out switch A blocked internal valve bad control board or external fan in outside unit defective no air flow in outside unit.
High pressure cut out not good,
Suggest turning temp max cool and observe. If acceptable cool and the compressor runs without interruption all is good, except for the blower in the attic. Safely check relay in attic blower circuit.
Hope this helps.
You need to have/ know the "fault code" chart for that specific furnace. Count the number of flashes and refer to chart. Look on the inside of the furnace blower door or other panel. Also look up on internet and print it off. If the furnace was allowed to run during the remodel it voids the warranty automatically. Read the installation manual.
Try resetting the electronic board by turning the power off then back on. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dan_77d17b8918f54455
I asked Mr. Google " carrier e3 error code", and I found this.
The outdoor thermostat is in error, not connected, or shorted out. This code is displayed only if auxiliary heat and/or cool lockout feature is enabled.
What this means is that your o.d. unit has a component failure. The smeel you have inside is probably you electric heat elements that are energized. And if they haven't been energized in a while, its burning off some debris.
Take everything off the board. With power on and carefully, one by one put all components back on until fuse pops. This will narrow it down. Obvious short to ground in one piece. Verify 24 volts from transformer. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/thomas_092728000e6acb79
