Goodman markets the GSX13 air conditioner as an efficient and reliable product. This three-phase 13 SEER split-system series has models ranging in capacity from 1.5 to 5 tons and producing anywhere from 18,000 to 60,000 BTU/H.
The Smartcoil technology used to enhance the GSX13’s heat transfer capability incorporates refrigeration grade, rifled, 5 mm copper tubing and aluminum fins that reportedly provide a larger-than-average surface area. The coil is protected by a steel louvered guard. The GSX13 has sound-reducing features such as a quiet condenser fan system and a louvered sound control top to provide reduced operating noise.
Goodman produces the GSX13 with a louvered cabinet made with heavy-gauge galvanized steel. The cabinet has a side panel that allows access to the controls and provides enough space for accessories. The liquid and suction line service valves are made of brass, and the GSX13 features R-410A chlorine-free refrigerant.
I purchased our central air conditioner about a year ago. Where I live at it would sometimes get up to 98 degrees in the summer which is really unbearable with the humidity level high. When I first looked around at central air units, price was one of my major concerns. I decided to go with this particular model because it is highly efficient. Compared to when I was using the window ACs it has drastically lowered the price of our bill. It also uses a ozone layer friendly gas which I also liked. The contractors who put it in were fairly quick about it. From seeing them install it, it looked pretty easy to do. This particular model has lights for when it needs maintained or serviced which is really going to help out my wallet later on. So far I haven't had to have it looked at. Over all I am very happy with the way it performs. Lower bill and great cold air without having to lug around boxy window ACs. I really enjoy it and would recommend this brand to my friends and family.

We installed this central air conditioner in one of our rental properties last spring. We chose it because it has a reputation for being effective, efficient, and also easy on the environment because it doesn't release substances that contribute to ozone layer damage. That's important to us. We also picked this model because it has a diagnostic module that detects problems and informs the contractor about them using a series of codes. This means that our contractor or repairman has an easier time diagnosing and fixing the problem, and saves us money on per-hour labor. This is a huge plus, especially because the unit is installed on rental property that we want to maintain financially profitable for us. Our Goodman unit runs quietly and has not yet had any problems. Our tenants have been very happy with the unit, and report that it keeps the house comfortable even on very hot and humid days. However, their energy bills have actually become lower since we installed this air conditioner, since this unit is so much more efficient than the one we had on that property previously. It's quiet and unobtrusive. I'd recommend this unit without reservation!

Three summers ago I was unfortunately greeted with the failure of my air conditioning unit so I made the decision and commitment to install central air conditioning into my home. After reviewing the advantages and disadvantages of central air conditioning and couldn't help notice the advantages out weight the disadvantages and so I almost instantly called my local contractor to install my new Goodman unit. Since the installation I've been pleasantly surprised as how efficient this unit is comparable to standard window units. The only draw back I can recollect is that my unit was in need of repair almost 6 months after its installation which I feel was the result of the season changes and not the unit itself. Despite this set back I would still give my recommendation to friends who are in the market for central air conditioning. In addition, I dont think there is anything to dislike about this air conditioner because it is virtually maintenance free.
When a homeowner asks the experts on doityourself.com to comment on the quality of the GSX13 being installed into his new home, the contractors are split. Several say that this unit offers reliable performance, so long as it is properly installed. Others, however, point out that it is a budget unit and homeowners will get the minimal efficiency for which they’re paying. On a different thread, several contractors agree that this unit does have the quiet performance that the manufacturer promises.
GSX13 Warranty
The GSX13 come with a 10-year parts limited warranty, although homeowner are required to register the unit within 60 days of installation in order for this warranty to apply. Consumers should discuss additional coverage options with their Goodman dealer.
