"10 year warrany and much less expensive ."
I've never owned a Goodman unit , but I'm still able to comment how ever I want ........DUH........ How many of the comments are coming from dealers of other brands ? Price wise , and warranty wise , they have the others beat hands down . I've looked at everything on the market pretty much . Looks like it's gonna be Goodman for me . By the way , I don't sell or service HVAC products . Heck , I could buy two of them for the price of one of the other name brand units . And with a ten year warranty how can you loose ? Besides that , they all use the same brand of compressors .

"HVAC Tech"
First off I would have to state something that I think gets missed in these reveiw's. Facts: If you have had many units or even just one compressor failure after having lost one within a year you have more than likely been "dis-serviced" by your repair individual. I personaly put in a Goodman because being in the trade I know its whats in the unit that matters. Technicaly I put in an "undersized unit" my reasoning was that I would have it a half ton less so as it would run a little longer for dehumidification. I live in Ct so this is ok should you be down south etc a different ave is suggested that is a whole other subject. I put in a 2.5 ton R-22 unit (got a hell of a deal or I would have done 410a). INSTALATION IS KEY!!! Unit should be at least 18" away from the exterior wall of any dwelling. Air movement / flow is critical to performance and heat disipitation.Air handler (unit in attic or basically part that gets cold "evaporator") needs proper instalation of it also. Ductwork must be professionally installed. System must be balanced meet criteria for capacity of heat load / wall thicknesses / window with incoming sunlight (heat load). Anything incorrectly either installed or designed incorrectly will hinder the units performance and longevity! My unit has what they all mostly have. A Copeland compressor / typical market single pole contactor. Typical run capacitor / run of the market fan motor and blade. Condencers / evaporators all can be damaged no matter the manufacturer. If your contractor replaces the compressor in ANY UNIT if done incorrectly the unit will fail and fail and yes FAIL AGAIN! I can not go into detail here as it is complicated and technical it involves acid formation that will destroy the internal electric windings in the compressors motor if this damaging acid is not removed correctly you could put in a Heil / Trane unit / York / American Standard you name it you'll be replacing it again and again!Goodman unit installed 2006 have replaced out original contacter with a two pole (doubled the amperage rating)so as that contacts will last a lot longer. Remember these simple things. A knocking noise is bad / buzzing from unit bad (contactor may not be getting full 24volts to hold in contactor which can short live compressor. Debree around outside unit (condencing side of system) will cause efficecy problems as well as excessive pressure for the compressor. Think of it as you trying to cool off on a 100F day while you walk in the sun with a sleeping bag wrapped around you!

"My central air unit"
I have currently owned this unit for 2 years. I like it because it is quiet and keeps the house cool. Being able to control the temperature of my house is a amazing thing. I can just set it to a certain temperature and forget about it. The only thing that I don't like about it is that it doesn't cool my upstairs as much my downstairs level. However i was told that before buying it that i would need to get two in order to have both the same quality. So far i have never had to repair it nothing has gone wrong with it. I would buy the same brand again and would recommend it to a friend. I think it works well. It wasn't too expensive and has made my summers a lot better. It is also environmentally friendly which is a good thing. I like to buy products that are environmentally friendly.

"I love my Goodman AC central unit!"
I purchased this model last year and am very pleased with its performance so far. It keeps my house COLD, and I have yet to have any problems with it. There is nothing negative I can say about it. I have never had to have any repairs, or replace it, but it has only been about a year since I purchased it. It is environmentally friendly, so it makes me feel like I made a better decision purchasing this one rather than another. This particular unit is also the quietest one I have ever experienced. This unit also has humidity control, so with the Midwest weather and humidity, it is a lot less miserable. I don't think that I will ever purchase any other brand in the future. My old brand did not come close to comparison with this unit, and I am glad I saved up enough for the switch. I am now a loyal Goodman customer!

"my goodman central air conditioner"
i have had my central air conditioner for six years. i like that the air conditioner can cool down any room i choose. i do not need a box hanging out of a window to cool down my house. i like that my house can get as cold as i like, and be able to be comfortable. i do not like the summer heat so having this machine is really awesome. i dont think that there is anything about it that i dislike. i probably dont like that it is so bulky on the outside of my house. i can not really make it disguised so people dont see the big box. i have not had to repair or replace my central air conditioner since i have purchased it. i would definitely buy this brand again because it is reliable, useful, and works great. if anyone asked if i could recommend a central air conditioner i would definitely say that goodman is the way to go.

"Great AC Unit for the Money"
I just bought this AC unit about 3 months ago and I have been very happy with it so far. It runs very quietly and cools my house very nicely. What I really like about it is the control top feature allows it to run with almost no noise at all which was a major problem for me with my last unit. It is also very efficient and does not increase my electrical bill by that much compared to my last AC unit. There is nothing that I have found that I do not like about it. I have not had to do any repairs on the unit as it is still brand new. I have recommended this unit to all of my friends and I would buy this brand again. The Goodman air conditioner is the best AC unit for your buck in my opinion. I expect it to provide me with many years of cool air.

"I Love My Energy Efficient Goodman Air Conditioner"
I have owned my Goodman central air conditioner for five years now and I have to say it is one of the best on the market. It runs in the middle energy efficiency wise but that is still very good. I like the energy efficiency, keeps my electric bills low; I like how quiet it runs, how well it cools my house. Also the best part, I have had NO PROBLEMS IN FIVE YEARS! I really have no complaints about my Goodman central air conditioner. I would buy the same brand again because of all the details listed above, not that I will need to based on how well it is running now. I would recommend this to a friend to because of how much I like it and how cheap it was for the high quality I got. Overall, I would give my Goodman central air conditioner Five Stars...

"Reliable Air Conditioner"
I have owned a Goodman central AC for over nine years without any trouble. I have the unit serviced at the beginning of every season and I keep it clean and debris free. I am purchasing a new home and I need to replace the existing Carrier which is not working. I have had such good success with Goodman that I decided not to even shop around. I am in the process of hiring an A/C contractor currently.

"My Air Conditioning Unit"
I have recently built my personal home and installed a Goodman air conditioning unit. I have went with this brand due to the price and the warranty that is behind it. I have sold many of these units and have not had a problem with them and if a problem were to arise it was covered under warranty. I decided to put this brand of unit in my personal home due to these facts. Many people do not know that most a/c units have the same parts such as compressors, contactors, ect and many people will not purchase a Goodman unit. Goodman does not advertise like other brands such as Trane and Carrier and this is why many people refuse to purchase them. I am very satisfied with my unit. It is now 5 years old and I have not had a single problem with it. I would recommend this brand of unit to anyone that is thinking about purchasing a new a/c system for their home or business. This unit comes with a 10 year compressor warranty, 5 year parts warranty and 1 year labor.

"Choose your Contractor"
After reading most of the reviews on this site, It really appears that most of the bad reviews actually refer more to workmanship and installation quality rather than the product itself. Leaks are due to poor workmanship of the installer and a company that doesn't return your phone calls is not a reflection of Goodman quality. Airwest, inc. has been responsive and my equipment has performed properly.
