"HVAC"
I am a installer and service technician that works and lives in Toronto,Canada.I have been in this business for 25 plus years.I can tell you that I serviced and installed all brands of furnaces each had their problems.I can also tell you how many times the reason for repair or service is that the installer did a crappy install.Does not set up the furnace as per manufactures spec...etc.These new furnaces are not plug and play.The installer should know how to set up your furnace according to your home and duct work etc.. I would say 95% dont because most are subcontractors that want to get in and get out fast as long as the customer feels the heat and or cooling he assumes he has done his job. Does not matter if its a large company or small make sure you know the persons qualifications that is going to do your job dont be afraid to ask.You can save yourself a lot of headaches. Please dont go with the cheapest company this usually means disaster.The old saying pay now or pay later still applies. So before you bash any furnace make sure you check out your installer because really this is one of the most important factors.

"Buy something else - Anything else"
Barely 2 years old, the furnace will not come on unless you remove front panel and jiggle and tap on the control board. Sometimes it requires cutting power to the furnace before the jiggle trick works. Started doing it when weather turned cold this fall - especially during day when programmable thermostat sets heat low while nobody is home. Will never come back on without intervention (jiggle). Model is gdh80904bxac. Tech says its a boat anchor and should just start over (2 furnaces and 2 A/C's). This is the only furnace I have ever owned in my (long) life that has failed and nobody seems to want to mess with it.

"Works great after fixing my mistake"
Several years ago I replaced my furnace with a GDS-8. 2nd year I had problems similar to some of the posts here- intermittent outage that would seem to resolve itself after powering off-0n. Thought it was the igniter. Drove me nuts. It finally failed to turn on at all. Heating guy came out and said "circuit board fried"- because I didn't run the double wall vent pipe all the way into the furnace resulting in too much heat build-up on the board. Long story short Goodman replaced the board free and I have never had a problem since. Love the product and the $ I saved. Word to the wise- check you vent pipe and make sure its double walled. Seems like this is the only manufacturer left that will sell to the public. Sears used to sell Kenmore furnaces with installation instructions.

"95% eff. natural gas"
I have had this furnace in my house for 4 years and no problems at all. Saved so much that I recommended this model to my folks and wifes parents. I change filters and have it cleaned and checked twice a year and it has never failed us or our parents.

"1st rating not a Goodman Furnace"
Goodman Brand furnaces are NOt the model number you are speaking of. Also, they do not make an oil furnace or a patriot brand. You may want to check the Goodmanmfg.com website to be sure you know what you are talking about before posting.

"goodman furnaces are awesome"
I love my furnace. It has a 10 year labor warranty. Most of all the heat exchanger is tubular and is much better than two piece's of metal sandwiched together and crimped for a connection. All the major advertised brands use the cheap crimped one. They figure people buy solely based on name recognition. I would recommend Goodman to anyone.

"Patriot 80 oil fired furnance"
Worst furnace ever.DO NOT BUY ONE. We had one installed last year (brand New) and its been nothing but trouble. Many times when we needed heat,the furnace would not fire up. Being a "radio tech" my thought was something in the circuitry was "frozen". Sure enough when I turned the power "off" then back to "on" the furnace fired up. The furnace would work fine for a few days then it stopped working. Go thru the "reset" procedure and would work for a few more days. Well this isn't right.A letter to Goodman resulted in "no response" I had my service company come over (the ones who installed it) and after many many times of "no heat in the middle of the cold night" and me doing the "reset"....they came up with maybe a stuck relay. They "cleaned" it and sure enough....it did it again!! Now they ordered a new relay and installed it.This was on 2009. Seemed to work fine and when spring of 2010 came we shut down the furnace. Its now November of 2010.....and "GUESS WHAT" The problem came back on one of the coldest nights ever. This furnace I wish I could have removed and another brand installed. This is a "LEMON". Now I will have to call my service folks again and tell them "THE RELAY IDEA FAILED!!!" I think its something in the circuit board. The oil filter was changed last year...we use the highest quality oil.The chimney is fine (was cleaned last year) So meantime I have electric heaters with thermostats in the rooms in case in the middle of the night "GOODMAN PATRIOT 80 heater" fails. DO NOT BUY GOODMAN PATRIOT 80 FURNACES...THE MODEL NUMBER I HAVE IS OUFA95D4-2B

"GMV 95"
Hey everyone if your going to buy a Goodman get the GMV 95 model excellent product lots of happy customers here in Canada. Make sure you have a licensed heating and refrigeration mechanic install it. Most of my friend have had this model installed and are having no problems.

"Furnace sets code - blink light three times"
I have Goodman model gms951155dxa. It shuts off and sets the above code. You have to tirn it off and after few seconds turn it on again and it will work. Never know when it will shut off. I had installer and other tech for repair but did not do any good. The furnace was installed in April 2006. Problem persists. When you go out, you will never know what will happen.
