"READ THIS and you'll never buy goodman"
Goodman control boards have a know fault in that they have the wrong rated relays built on to the boards. You'd be lucky if the board lasts 5 years. Even the replacement boards have this same issue. The motor mfg for the blower motor make a junk product period. Its hit or miss you might get get a good one or not. The inducer motors had a design change to help increase longevity. They are still junk. And still suffer high rate of failures. Heat exchangers should last life of unit assuming your contract did not put in the wrong size furnace cause the bigger model was on sale. Seen that every day. Goodman cuts cost where they can to deliver a value priced product . While if all I installed correctly and size accordingly your rolling the dice. If you do decide to buy ask contractor about assure warranty. If you catch it while on sale this is an extended warranty from Goodman mfg. That will pay all labor costs for 10 years. They make a decent AC unit but all units require hard start kits. Its in the installer book. And the txv valve that they use is 100% junk. Some swear by it while others bash it till no end. Would I buy it? Yes, but I'd look at other off brands that are say clones of some other brand. Like Payne which is carrier budget brand, or heck thermal zone which is made by by rheem. No name brand less money but not issues like good junk.

I am going on my second year with my 95% goodman. My heating bills are drastically cut, and the furnace is virtually maintenance free.

"homeowner"
I had this furnace installed last year and is much better than my carrier system that I had installed just before I sold my old house last summer, I 'm finding out it's all in the contractor installing it most of the parts are the same but the goodman installer and techs were very critical of there workmanship.

"15 years and still ticking"
Like the old Timex watch commercials, "takes a lickin' and keeps on ticken'". Had this Goodman 80,000 btu, 3-ton blower furnace installed in 1997 for just over $900 and it's still going strong. Over the years it has needed one replacement circuit board and one igniter, both covered under warranty ($60 for service call), so I really can't complain. Heat exchanger is still fine (not cracked) and it warms my 2500 sq ft house very well, tho' my gas bill gets very high. Last Summer, I installed a 3-ton York A/C compressor and coil which has already needed 3 service calls, so I think that equipment manufactured today is of lower quality than the older stuff was (components now manufactured in Asia). When the time comes to replace this furnace I'm going with Goodman again, hoping their quality has not deteriorated as much as some of the other brands.

"No Problems"
I have had my Goodman gas furnace and a/c unit for one year now and I have no complaints. Heats and cools my house very well. I received my usage statement from my electric company (Ameren ue) and my usage went down by 30% and that was just for half a years use (Jun. to Dec.) My unit was installed on the side by hvac installers that also install Lennox and other name brands. They said that all brands break down and that they have not noticed that Goodman break down any more or less than the expensive name brands. My Aunt has also had a Goodman unit for 5 years and loves it, and my sister-in-law has one too with no problems! My brother had a Rudd installed at the same time I did and it does not cool his house well and it broke down already. Of course his installer trashed Goodman, but who has had the problems? Not me!

"2 stage heat pump 16 Seer"
If your looking for a cheap heat pump, a Goodman is the way to go; because that's exactly what it is. I purchased my unit less than a month ago, and I am having some serious buyer's remorse. I should have stuck with my older Lennox heat pump that was noisy but still working. If you want a heat pump that throws out heat when its 45 degrees outside; I would recommend a better brand. If you need to contact Goodman's customer service; good luck because you half to pay your installer for there time to contact of them. If I could take the unit back and spend a little more money on a good one. I would do it in a heartbeat!!! Take my advice saves yourself some time, a wife upset about a cold house and hard earned money, and get something better.

"No Problems Ever"
I bought this furnace and ac and was installed by a extremely competent technician. I opted to get the variable speed fan for extra electrical savings. I have not been disappointed with my purchase and would buy another Goodman. My gas bills have dropped by about 1/3 they were before and my house stays warm in winter and cool in summer.

"The best furnace at the best price"
I have multiple rentals and the Goodman seems to take a beating and never have any problems. Lennox, Carrier, and Bryant give me a lot of problems and parts are expensive. Give me a goodman every time.

"Excellent Furnace"
In the 7 years I have had this furnace, the igniter was replaced once. It works excellent and provides an even heat. Save about $150 a month during the heating season. And yes I installed it myself. I had a heating contractor check it our before start up. I would not hesitate to purchase another Goodman.
