Read more about GOODMAN Heat Pumps
The Goodman GSH14 heat pump is a discontinued split system heat pump that is still carried by some HVAC dealers (this model was included in Goodman's literature as late as 2010, but is not on their current list of residential products). The GSH14 can achieve a SEER as high as 15, and an HSPF rating as high as 8.3. Goodman currently supplies a similar model, the GSZ14 high-efficiency heat pump. The GSH14 uses R-22 refrigerant, which is more commonly known as Freon. According to information from the manufacturer, the unit features a high-efficiency scroll compressor and Goodman's best quiet-operation design. The GSH14 was designed for easy installation and service access.

"Goodman sucks"
I installed a Goodman heat pump and gas furnace 4 1/2 years ago. Not one year has gone by that I have not had service on the heat pump. The parts have been covered but I have spent over $3000 for labor, freon, and supplies. I contacted customer service and they have the worst customer service dept. I finally contacted the Houston Better Business Bureau. Goodman responded with an offer of some monetary help but I am still working through the offer.

"Goodman sucks"
I have replaced all major parts of this unit: Compressor, coil, reversing valve, capacitor. Stay away from Goodman. Their customer service also sucks. I am a construction professional.

Review:
"Loud Starting Noise"
In March of 2009, I installed a 3 ton 14 seer Goodman Split Unit Heat Pump. Compressor unit is Model gsh140241. From Day 1, the unit has made an extremely loud and irritating "metal-on-metal" noise when the compressor (scroll type) starts, both on heating and cooling. Installer says that is normal for a scroll compressor. Manufacturer will not confirm or deny.
Other GSH14 Reviews
A Goodman owner writes on gardenweb.com that, overall, he is pleased with his GSH14 heat pump—but its filter design was less than ideal. He mentions that the way the filter was installed seemed inadequate, so he reinstalled it in a better fashion. Another Goodman owner also mentions the poor filter design on the website.
A homeowner and several HVAC contractors compare Goodman and Trane heat pumps on hvac-talk.com. Goodman is generally viewed as a relatively inexpensive product, compared to other brands, but several of the experts on this site feel its quality is just as good as other brands. The contractors stress that proper installation is the key to customer satisfaction with any brand of heat pump.
Hvac-talk.com reveals a discussion of 13 versus 14 SEER heat pumps. Goodman is one of the brands mentioned in the conversation. Many of the experts feel that a higher-level SEER heat pump, such as the GSH14, will bring increased savings and efficiency. Others advise against spending the extra money for the higher SEER unit if the homeowner will not be in the home very long or if he or she lives in a cool area.
