Review:
I don't understand why people are saying Goodman is not a good equipment.
I had a gmv95 70000btu installed 5 years ago and never had a problem
with this model. Never had it cleaned, only changed my filter regularly
myself. The only thing I did was upgrade my single stage thermostat to
a two stage which I highly recommend. I paid $2800 Canadian installed
taxes in. My friends are installing Carrier, Lennox etc. Paying prices
of $8000 plus for basically what I have and some are already having
small problems. They are shocked when I tell them that I have a Goodman
paid $2800 and never had a problem in 5 years. Maybe it was the
installation or this particular model but whatever the case I think I
made an excellent purchase. I hope this can help some of you decide as
buying a new furnace can be a very frustrating process. Good luck!

Review:
My mother's old heat pump was an old electric hog plus the a coil had a
slow leak so we decided to replace it all. We went with Goodman. We
especially love the variable speed blower which starts out running slow
and then switches to high. No more cold or hot drafts of air! We did
have one problem, the capacitor went out but the serviceman came right
out and fixed it with no charge. We bought this unit because I had a friend change their old unit out for a Goodman and has had no problems at all!

Review:
We recently started using the Amana/Goodman units due to the local
distributor in Lexington, ky keeping all parts and most full systems on
hand. Being a long time Trane fan, I was skeptical of the quality and
durability of Goodman. After several full replacements and some great
support from Goodman, I can actually say “move over Trane, you are not
worth the extra money”! Here in the real word, there are only two
compressor manufacturers, two electronic board makers and only a few
different motor names in all of the 150 different brands, so the
service/support and dependability are the only factors to consider when
buying HVAC units. I have heard good and bad of every unit name and can
honestly say- it is only 10% unit brand and 90% installation technique
and quality! Keep some money for yourself!!!

Review:
I am also an Air Contractor and install Goodman. I have installed just
about every brand out there and also service all brands. In my short 6
years in business, I can honestly say that Goodman is a quality product
with a very good warranty. I have installed over 100 Goodman units and
the only warranty I've had was a bad heating sequencer. Your install has
to be done right! You can buy a $15k system with all the bells and
whistles but if installed poorly you will have trouble with it. I'm
sorry all of you are having heating and air problems but I would
seriously look at the install. Most people go with the cheapest bid and
and get a lousy install. I stand behind Goodman 100%.

Review:
My home was built in 1967. The original ductwork was still in place. In
reading these reviews, I noticed that the majority of them are negative.
What people have to realize is that, in order to receive satisfaction
from your product, you have to have a quality installer that knows the
product. My unit was installed in September of 2009. I live in Richmond,
VA. and we just experienced the coldest, snowiest, winter in 10yrs.
Needless to say, my furnace kept my downstairs completely comfortable the
entire winter. I paired it with a 3ton Amana condensing unit and my
downstairs has stayed cool thus far this summer. My electric and gas
bills have been very reasonable. My installer suggested I do a dual
system and currently I'm working on the upstairs installing a 2.5ton
Amana Heat Pump. Insulation and the correct sized ductwork is very
important. Please, please make sure your home is properly insulated and
measured for proper tonage and ductwork. I would recommend Amana
products to anyone in the market. You can't lose with the warranty and
the noise levels are so quiet, sometimes I have to really listen to see
if my unit is on when I pull into my driveway.

Review:
My experiences were not good. First, squirrel cage disintegrated. Second, gas ammana blower went out. Third, leaked coolant. Fourth, capacitor on compressor blew up. Fifth, circuit board was out. In fact, it has cost me over 1,000 dollar in 4 yrs to use it in repairs.

Review:
After 6 short years, we already need a whole new blower unit (motor,
wheel, assembly) despite regular servicing. Warranty expires at 5 years.
We will be $850 poorer. Don't buy this. I tried to get customer service
to help but they stood firm. Rip off!

Review:
I'm a plumbing, heating & cooling contractor from Pennsylvania. For the life of me, I can't believe what I'm reading on this website, as I'm sitting here shaking my head in disbelief. First and foremost, I agree with the other contractors who say Goodman is a very good unit! With that said, as a contractor I've only had 2 problems with initial
installment cause of GOODMAN in a span of 20 years. It's either I'm
extremely lucky, OR I'm installing them correctly. I probably install
anywhere from 5-10 systems a year, and the only 2 problems I've had from the factory was a bad "a" coil and a bad compressor. The coil had a leak, and was found when I pulled a vacuum. The compressor had to be
changed out because it was D.O.A.
Because a unit is icing up does NOT mean the unit is JUNK! There is a REASON why the coil could be icing up and you need to find out why.
Goodman has some of the best warranties on the market today, and FORCED other manufactures' to do the same.
Those tech who say GOODMAN is junk or "Builder grade" has an axe to grind. Hands down, I would put a GOODMAN unit next to Trane or any other company. Your unit is only as good as the person who installed it. I could sit here for hours and rip on Trane, American Standard, York etc.
When these companies MASS produce, you're bound to get a bad apple. Doesn't matter who built it.
Bottom line, let's use some common sense before you type.

Review:
Our story is pretty much the same as everyone else's. Our practically
new unit already needs a new condenser coil to the tune of $500 for the part (which is covered under warranty) however, the freon and the labor charges were not covered under warranty, and that cost us just as much. A 15 minute phone call to Goodman proved to be the worst customer service experience I've ever had. Logic, good manners, and courtesy do not matter to these people. They are the antithesis of caring and helpful. I have several business degrees and I realize that they may think they don't have to be customer friendly, but in the end, their profits would most likely be enhanced if they provided even a minute amount of customer service. It was truly one of the most awkward, infuriating phone calls I've ever made in my life. Buyer Beware! We will never buy Goodman again.

Review:
Furnace always needs 3 cycles to start while pushing cold air into the house. Does not always start and worst part when it starts does not run
until it reaches thermostat temperature. It restarts many times before
temperature is reached, each time pushing more cold air into the house.
Sometimes does not start but fan continues to blow at full speed without
heat. This recycling at night makes for a lot of lost sleep.
