    (8-20-15) Our house had a Lennox heat pump system that came with a new house made in 2006. It nearly broke me financially with repairs and the straw broke when my family was on the cold side during last winter. I called Recker and Boerger this year and they gave us a bid on a brand-new GOODMAN 16 SEER 4-ton unit armed with a scroll compressor, matching variable air handler, 5-year parts and labor warranty on the entire unit, 10-year parts after the 5 years is up, and a LIFETIME scroll compressor replacement guarantee in the event that the compressor fails for any reason--providing it stays at the same house it was installed in. I explained in great detail to the R&B salesman that my family had been through hell with winter and repair costs and we really needed some good service.

    This Goodman unit we got installed is fabulous. It's quiet, powerful and it slowly brings up the air speed in the house and slowly reduces to almost not notice it. The outdoor 4-ton unit is quiet enough for people to carry a conversation without missing a single pronunciation...it's that quiet! Please do yourself a favor and take the time to tell your installing contractor and they will come through for you like they did us. Make it personal, get to know them a little by offering some lunch (pizza and pop) like we did, and they will do a PERFECT JOB for you...providing they have the ability.

    Our final cost was that they took off 3% of the price (paid cash with a 401K loan) and they threw in a free HEPA whole house filtration system and half off of a forced air HVAC humidifier. I saved ~$600 + I got back $200 from Duke Energy for a qualifying energy saving system!!! Win, win, win. People, we love this unit and my wife thinks I am a superhero now. Everybody is happy and the contractors left with a full belly and a thank you. Take care of people and they will take care of you.

    In April of 2014 I replaced my 23 year old 31/2 ton 10 seer with a 4 Ton 15 seer. In 23 years the 31/2 ton unit only cost me at 200.00 in repairs. In June 2015 upon returning from vacation the Mobile home was 90 degrees. The service man discovered a Freon leak in the line. One week after repair it happened again. Different leak, different place. Cost for both repairs $1000.00. August 20th A/C was frozen up and service man found blower motor bad. Am told blower motor under warranty. Waiting on motor to complete the job. It just shows the quality now compared with 23 years ago. Unit purchased from Ingram's water and air equipment on 3-20-2014.

    A brand new Goodman/Amana A/C was installed in my home in 2011. The condenser coil leaked and had to be replaced in 2012. In 2014, coil leaked; it was patched and freon recharged. In 2015, freon leaked, was now attributed to the evaporator coil. In the four years since the "new" unit was installed, I have spent over $1000 for labor replacing BOTH coils and freon recharges. Basically, the product is a piece of junk and major parts need to be replaced - not anyone expects of a "new" equipment. Is there collusion between the manufacturer and the A/C service provider: one sells product that should be pulled from the market, the other recommend the product and makes money by labor charges?

    I have a Goodman heat pump that was installed in Dec 2009. It started leaking freon last year. Just 2 pounds. This year it started freezing up. Guess what? Needs more freon and r22 is high. Just found out r22 production will cease in 2016. This unit is leaking like crazy. Called Goodman. They say my unit is out of warranty because it wasn't registered in first 60 days. What? Is this a gimmick? Thought it came with a 10-year warranty. Seems like a easy way for them to get out of warranty for their products.

    I've had cheap Walmart window units last longer than this piece of junk and way cheaper. I found a new a-coil for sale on internet for 500 bucks but found out it might leak when installed new. The a/c company said they would install one for 1500$. Are you kidding. This unit is out of warranty 6 months. Would have been better off paying extra for something better. Overall this will cost me much more in the long run. Goodman customer service is terrible as the guy there just kept saying to call one of their dealers. In my opinion Goodman needs to go out of business or do what's right and fix these faulty units.

    We had a Goodman 3 Ton Unit replaced on 7/21/2015. It cooled all of about 1/2 day. Since it was installed in July during heatwave (94 for more than a week) we thought it was taking house time to cool and the air out of the vent felt marginally cooler than air temp., But we were delusional. The unit was blowing warm air. The installer came on 4 occasions. 1st time to remove Freon, 2nd time and third time diagnose system, 4th install indoor thermostat. Nothing. The unit blows cold air when the sun is down and as soon as the sun comes up fails and blows hot air. Miserable unit.

    Had a second HVAC person look at unit. Diagnosis, Condenser. To that I say, REALLY it’s not even installed a month??? My house is 80 +, I should not have to live in the heat with a brand new unit sitting outside my house. Today we are suppose to have our installer back to replace the condenser. If this does have the system up and running 24/7, my instructions are for him to remove the unit and install another brand more reputable such as Carrier, York, Trane. I did in depth research to find Goodmans are nothing but a ton of junk that really needs to be pulled off the market. Waste of everyone's time and dollars. Furious.

A bought a new home this year and it has 2 Goodman units upstairs and down.

    Bad leaking coil with a MBE1200AA AIR HANDLER. My five year warranty was up in April 2015. Well guess what... the coil started leaking. It held a charge up to a month. Then two weeks. Then everyday. Five years ago I spent good money to replace a 20 something unit. Should have stayed with it. Goodman is a piece of junk and would never recommend them to anyone... I am saying goodbye to goodman and my hvac people are splitting the cost to put a new Lenox unit in. What a shame that something cannot be done to bring charges against this company. Having to have the freon replaced everyday is a real nuisance especially right during the hot spell we are having.

    We purchased a Goodman HVAC 3-ton GSZ130361BC in April 2012. In June 2014 we paid for 3 pounds of coolant. On July 12, 2014, one more pound of coolant was added. They found the evaporator coil was leaking. On July 17, 2014, a new coil was installed. It required two men to remove it, so we had to pay $400 extra. One year later, July 26, 2015, the system has shut down. It appears to be an electrical problem this time. Our 3-yr-old system has already cost us $954 in repairs (not counting today's pending repair). We definitely would not recommend this product.

During that time the house was unoccupied because it was for sale. Goodman will extend warranty from 5 years to 10 if you register within 60 days installation. Even though my situation is identical to a new home sale Goodman refused my extension two times. Their customer service is pathetically poor.

    I have been doing this work for almost 30 years now. When Goodman hit the street way back when it was junk. They have came a long way. I have installed 325 of these units since 2005 in a multi family situation. It's now July and we have had about 10 AC calls this month. Nothing major wrong with any of these units. Two capacitors and several thermostat, a loose wire nothing major. Since we started ten years ago I have changed 3 compressors. I have worked on jobs that had carrier that had 10 times more calls and I have work with large number of Trane and had about same results as Goodman. These units are reasonably priced and when serviced correctly and preventive maintenance is done they can last 20 years or more. When you drive your car 3000 to 5000 miles now you have to change oil. It's simple. You cannot just run the thing to death without doing service.

    In 2009 I had Goodman attic unit installed. In 2011 had the labor expense of replacing the capacitor. Then in 2013 needed R410a Freon 230.00. Then in 2014 needed Freon. 7 months later in March 2015 needed 10 lbs of Freon. Here it is July, 4 months later and no cool air again. Finally a leak is detected and will have the coils replaced in a few days at another expense of 850.00? So this unit has cost a lot of money, stress, and sweat on our hot summer days in Florida. If another thing goes wrong with this unit I will rip it out, get a loan for a new unit, and never look back. Goodman is horrible!

    My mom has a home warranty on her Goodman Amana. We have had 11 service tickets on her unit since May. They come out and repair it and it works about 20 hours and fails again. My parents are elderly - dad has dementia and mom is anemic and has been in the hospital and is very sickly. They have changed almost every part. It runs cool then starts blowing hot air and this is in Texas. I have talked with the supervisor several times and even filed a report with the manufacturer. The manufacturer has only returned one call and I've been told by the company that the manufacturer refused to replace the unit because it's seven years old. It is under warranty for ten years!

    I just replaced a 5 ton Lennox installed in 1992 with a 5 ton Goodman #GSC130601. The new unit doesn't do the job. It was set at 74 degrees during the night and the unit reached 74. Then we set the unit at 77 degrees for daytime use. The unit has been running all day and the indoor temp. is now up to 81 degrees. This never happened with our old Lennox, it maintained 77 degrees all day and during certain times, when entertaining, we would set it at 72 degrees with no problem. Replacing the Lennox was a mistake. It blew a fan motor and we decided to replace it because of its age and our installer's recommendation. We have rental property with Goodman units and have received several complaints from tenants about the heat in their apartments. Now I see that the complaints were justified. Very unhappy and intend to contact installer Monday.

    After going back and forth with Goodman, they decided to cover the compressors with the lifetime warranty. This however doesn't change the quality of the products. Two compressors and the units are only 11 years old. Just labor and R22 @ $50 a pound still isn't a cheap fix.

    Original Review: July 1, 2015

    I purchased 3 Goodman HVAC units (3 outside and 3 inside air handlers) in 2004. We purchased the units because of the lifetime compressor warranty on the outside units. I should have known something was wrong with the units from the start. Out of the 11 years, they probably have been worked on 6-8 of those. Replaced one compressor in 2008, now another one has went bad. I didn't realize the 2008 replacement was covered under the 10 year warranty, but that was good, saved me a little money. Now it's out of the 10 year warranty period, and for whatever reason (the installer or re-seller) didn't register the units through the online or mail process. I was never informed to register the units either.

    So now, to get the unit fixed I'm looking at a $1200 repair bill. If this was the first repair, I probably wouldn't be so upset, but due this technicality, I'm out of warranty on the other 2 units as well. Funny response from goodman "It was more of an incentive." So my advice would be stay away from Goodman. Also, I have different HVAC companies check the install, and all of them says there were no issues with the installation of the units.

    I own and operate a Heating and cooling Company. We sell exclusively Goodman Amana. Yes there are failures at time the largest percent of these failures are caused by the HomeOwner/And a previous poor Mechanical Duct installation. I had a call back and found the system freezed up. Due to Dirty filters closed vents in rooms not being used. This causes stress on all components. Restricted air flow causes High pressure Heat on motors. Poor pre-existing Duct work gets undetected.

    Goodman/ Daikin is now the world's largest Hvac Mfg in North America. I work with their warranty and support. I read these reviews and it's disheartening. Most are DIY installers/Hackers. I have replaced Goodman units Amana Janitrol that are 25 years old. I PERSONALLY own a 4 Ton Heat pump In East Texas that 18 years old. I have had a capacitor / Fan motor replaced. But was caused by voltage surge from storms. I Love our system. Installation is 99.9% the Key with any equipment. I love Goodman.

    Recently bought a home from a popular bullet in my city. Love everything about my new home BUT the furnace and air conditioner (both Goodman). I'll be honest the disappointment and disbelief that a new unit could have so much trouble in the first few years is just insane! I'm on the board for my neighborhood H.O.A., and I'm one of MANY that has had very very similar problems. Sure the builder cut cost by installing cheaper system in 89 homes in my area! The local heat and air company that installed it per builder has the greatest reviews all over the network and BBB! They have been very very helpful and cutting down repair cost because they feel sorry!

    So, in the last three years I've had a leak on BOTH coils, then new coil came with filter dryer that also leaked in same year, and now I have a "restriction" in the piston that coils quite possibly be metal shaving from inner compressor! Also replaced circuit board on furnace and also in the first year the blower wheel came loose and tore up the blower motor! Goodman is a disgrace to HVAC industry! I've seen it all over internet, fellow HVAC techs, and neighbors! Nobody but this equipment EVER. Year four this summer, I had some extra cash and changed out the full system!

    First off let's all keep in mind that a HVAC system doesn't move around (it's not a car or a truck); it doesn't sit atop an old bridge with vehicular traffic jostling the equipment or anything like that. A heating and A/C system sits in place, half indoors sheltered from wind and rain, sun, heat and snow... Now: Five years ago I was convinced to have a GOODMAN HEATING & COOLING system put into my home to replace a 30+ year old system that STILL ran like a champ. (Old coolant system; no longer making a now-outlawed version of coolant for refrigeration units.) Goodman is rock solid. Goodman is American Made! (Woo-hoo!!!) Their value is that you're paying for the quality and workmanship built into the product rather than for company advertising like the name brands yadah, yadah.

    Here's the reality of my 5-year-old(!) Goodman heat-pump system installed for me: EACH OF THE FIVE YEARS I have owned this expensive albatross I have had parts replaced. Each year it is something different: An electronics board, the compressor (TWICE), filters, etc. TODAY (on the weekend when no HVAC folks are working) THE UNIT FAN WENT OUT (105 forecast for today. 107 forecast for tomorrow, Sunday. Lovely). But hey, no biggie; I have a warranty! (It covers quality replacement parts for my Goodman system.) BUT I PAY TO HAVE THE WARRANTY PARTS DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED! (Yeah, but the parts are covered. until the warranty runs out and THEN WHAT?!)

    Call a customer service agent there in Texas and YOU'LL GET THE RUN-AROUND: "Well first, Sir, we'll need for you to have a technician come out (YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT OF COURSE) and then when we receive his report we will decide what can be done on our end to repair or replace your quality Goodman unit" y'all. And then maybe you'll EVENTUALLY have cool in 100+ WITH HUMIDITY, or warm when it's awfully chilly outside. (I have had problems now both in the Winter and Summer cycles of weather here.)

    And no matter what if you make the bad decision to go with Goodman and deal with each year, every year replacing one part after another till you no longer have anything remotely like what was originally installed at your home to begin with DO NOT OPT FOR A HEAT-PUMP SYSTEM! Heat-pumps are profoundly inefficient! I live in Arizona (mild Winters all things considered). Yet my Goodman heat-pump gently warms the home, put your hand up against a duct-register and feel the tepid-warmth coming out. WITH GAS YOU HAVE INSTANT HEAT; no waiting for the heat-pump to expel the cool air from inside your home as it then creates warm air to replace it with.

    And do not even consider fluctuating day-time/night-time temperature settings at the thermostat warmth during the day when folks are up and around and working in the home then set 5 to 8 less at night so you can sleep in a cool room. (That's not how a heat-pump works!) With gas you set your thermostat as you wish. The system follows directions and when you wake up in the morning heat, not a system that freezes-up and then won't work at all! FORGET HEAT-PUMPS unless you want added frustration to the already poor quality of a Goodman investment. When my Parts Warranty runs out I will happily rid myself of this P.O.S. and forget that Goodman even exists.

    Purchased a Goodman AC Unit for my primary residence in 2010 and it broke 47 months later. I had to replace coil in 2014, and repairman is telling me I have to replace it again for another $1300 as it is leaking. I have spent $2033.95 so far and to replace coil again I will have to spend a total of $3,333.95 for a unit that is 4 years 3 months old. AC repair installer who sold the Goodman to me (Contemporary Air) said I should just dump this Goodman and buy a Trane since this is system may just need new coils after new coils.

    I read many other reviews online that Goodman has problems with this system now that the new requirements came out in Florida. System Purchase Date & Install- 12/31/2010 - $5375.00. Failure Date & Repair Cost-11/24/2014 -$1303.35. Second Failure Date- 3/3/2015 -pending invoice of $730.95 and decision to install new coil. I contacted Goodman about 9 months ago and they wrote me a letter and said "too bad you didn't buy the extended warranty as you are out of luck." Called them two days ago and they said they would have a Goodman rep reach out to my AC guy that installed it and they would get back to me. They still have yet to call. I doubt I will see any recourse. And in the meantime, my AC could go out any minute in 95 degree weather.

    I purchased an HVAC system in 2013, which broke before it was even 2 years old! The repairman mentioned that he had to completely refill the refrigerant because it had all leaked out. He said that it leaked out because the unit's factory weld joint was faulty, causing the refrigerant to leak out. He mentioned that this absolutely should not happen to a system that is this new. He mentioned that I should contact Goodman for reimbursement.

    I contacted customer service, who asked that I submit a letter with the serial number of the unit and a copy of the repair bill for reimbursement. I received a reply via letter, which was very obviously a canned response, telling me the same thing I was told on the phone, that the warranty does not cover refrigerant, labor, etc. Only parts. The company stated in the letter, "It is impossible to predict the life of any one part." That tells me that the design, test, and quality assurance divisions are severely lacking. Goodman obviously does not care about its products or customers. I'm still waiting on a return call from customer service.

This is why all parts are made in China. That is first problem. Next all units run on 410a a very high pressure. Thanks to the government there are no more 22 units to buy. So it does suck that yes you have a parts warranty labor is not covered. So all I can say is it sucks. I have my own heating and cooling company.

    In 2009, nearing the finish line of my post-Hurricane Katrina rebuild, I had two new Amana HVAC heat pumps installed. Less than 2 years later, one started malfunctioning and I was told the coils had a leak. Second opinion said no, but the problem persisted as the coolant apparently did leak out over time. Last year, the coils on the downstairs unit appeared to have a leak. I have a parts warranty but the labor runs between $800-$1000 per unit. I called Amana, unaware that this was a common problem, and the customer service rep could just have well sent me a picture of her middle finger with the attitude and complete lack of concern she showed. I guess the volume of complaints had her on edge.

    I did a lot of research before I bought these units and I had faith in the company. I never would have imagined I would have this much trouble in such a short period of time, as my old units had been in service for at least the 17 years since I'd bought the house with only minor repairs, never coils or compressors. I've been screwed by just about every contractor that set foot in my house but was happy to find a good HVAC company that didn't screw me on service, but the product is just BAD. I can't believe Goodman/Amana doesn't care enough about its reputation to address its customer's concerns. They've changed their policies about it several times from what I can discern and now there's a class action suit against them.

    I teach marketing at a university and would love to give them some lessons because they're in serious need. Bad moves, Goodman. Many bad moves. I'm reluctant to pursue a class action suit because their lawyers will make millions and I'll get something like a $100 voucher, but maybe a private suit is in order.

I have personally installed systems which upon start up I find the compressor would not work, nor could be fixed. I have also witnessed the manufacturer delay, disregard, and intentionally abandon their own warranty in an effort to not produce parts and or labor to satisfy their warranty commitment.

    I am an Hvac contractor and technician with over 20 years experience. I have installed well over 1,000 pieces of Goodman equipment over that time. I service all brands of heating and cooling equipment. I can honestly say that Goodman has no more issues with break downs or leaks than the others. As a matter of fact there are some of the major players that have much higher failure rates. The key to any heating and cooling system working properly is the initial sizing, matching, ducting, return and installation. I have experienced a very low failure rate on coils both indoor and outdoor and can count on one hand the number of compressor failures I have had on units I installed. The Goodman equipment comes with a 5 year warranty but once each individual piece is registered at www.goodmanmfg.com, after install the parts warranties are increased to 10 years free of charge from Goodman.

    I am sorry to hear of anyone having problems with their heating and cooling equipment but I have to say that if that equipment was installed correctly and sized, ducted, returned and matched properly most of these problems could have been avoided. Some of the worst nightmares I have encountered have been initiated by an installer that the home owner knew. They be great folks but that doesn't make them great installers or knowledgeable about all aspects of proper system configuration. Word of mouth will generally get you the best people to work with not fancy advertising or being the biggest. Not to mention these folks are usually higher on initial install and service/warranty.

It runs constantly but can never seem to keep up even though it's the same size as the one we replaced....... which by the way was a Rheem that lasted 17 years with maybe 2 service calls the whole time.

    My unit is less than 5 years old, we are on our 3rd Evaporator Coil and have also replaced the Capacitor. All of this has cost me well over $1000.00 in labor and coolant. Sure the part is under warranty, but it's a POS that they won't stand behind. What's worse is their lack of concern. Bottom line: Product and Customer Service are awful. DO NOT BUY GOODMAN Mfg products.

    This heat pump was installed when my new house was built in May 2010. In January 2011 it required piston replacement when it stopped heating the home. Then in June 2012 it required a replacement of the indoor evaporator coil when it stopped producing A/C. Then in June 2014 it required replacement of the outdoor evaporator coil when it stopped producing A/C. So in the first 4 years, it has required 3 major repairs. Sure, Goodman provides a 5-year warranty on all parts. But my most recent repair still cost over $1,000 for the labor and refrigerant. (The refrigerant is NOT included in the warranty, and that alone cost more than $600 this time.) I complained to Goodman, who told me I should have paid for the additional labor warranty as well. I suppose if you insist on buying a Goodman heat pump, then I would recommend the full labor warranty. But any person with half a brain should simply choose a heat pump from a company that is NOT widely recognized as the worst in the business (seriously, check any 3rd party review site). I will never be a Goodman customer again.

    Just about every year, I have a breakdown or part failure in my Goodman 4.0 ton 15 seer AC unit. I had replaced my old unit for better efficiency, and to add more tonnage because I wanted to cool my FL room. My old unit was installed with the house in the early 80's and the only thing I ever did was clean out the outside unit and hosed off the coils. My old unit was basically maintenance free and in working order the day I pulled it out. However the Goodman unit installed in 2007 had a stinky odor from the day it was installed and still has funny odors to this day, 7 years later. My installer called it dirty sock syndrome.

    The unit already had the problem because of the coil dressing oils they used at the factory. Heater has gone out in unit at least 3 or 4 times in previous winters. The starter went bad - I had that removed and replaced. Air conditioner went out last year, bad expansion valve. R & R, Very costly. No AC for 5 days. This year AC out again. Drier is leaking Freon and the reversing valve is stuck in the heat mode. Not good in the summer time. Family already out of AC for a week in the middle of July. Waiting on parts to be shipped. Today is Mon. - might get parts on Tue. or Wed.

    My AC man recommended the Goodman unit to me because of how good it once was... Over the past few years, he will not sell or recommend Goodman to anyone because of the catastrophic part failures and the overall poor quality of parts. In seven years, he has been to my house more than seven times. He has cut me some breaks in the price of some of the repairs... I guess he feels some guilt on selling me on the Goodman name. He did say that Goodman was a good and reliable product then they went downhill. I felt that I had a lemon till I heard the same horror stories from friends and friends of friends that are experiencing similar problems and hard part failures from Goodman.

    I believe now I don't have a lemon but a very poor quality AC and the parts contained within the unit. I don't believe that your installer should come over to fix your newly installed unit 4 or 5 times in the first 2 years of ownership. He said after he changes out all the bad parts it should be good to go - unless I get another bad part from the bad "batch". I don't believe that ironing out all the kinks (bad parts) is an acceptable way to achieve a good working unit. After this most recent failure, I will be close to the $1200 mark in labor repairs to the unit. Thank God most all of the parts have been covered under the 10-year warranty. However the long wait for the parts to be shipped to my installer is quite irritating. I am sweating in the summer or freezing in the winter for too long periods of time waiting on my warranted parts to arrive.

    I have yet another Goodman Mfg residential unit that has failed. I am sorry to see that I am not alone. Everyone should refer to this web site before purchasing any major appliance. I purchased a new, worry-free home in 2008. My first problem occurred in the 4th year of being in the house and every year since then. Every year it was the same problem. There is a leak. All the Freon would leak out and have to be refilled. Parts were also changed but the problem still is happening. By the winter months, all the Freon would have drained and my electric bills were doubling every month. I am disabled with 2 kids, on a very tight budget, so this was actually taking food out of our mouths.

    On the 6th year of my new house, the warranty ran out along with all my Freon. I had a different repairman come out and he mentioned that Goodman was the bottom of the list for this type of product. You do get what you pay for so pay a little more for a better unit and you will be much happier. The builder of my house sent in the warranties under his name so I am not aware of any problems, recalls and any suits filed against them. Goodman's customer service have no compassion. I don't think they are human. When I contacted them, their answer was parts do fail and I should have gotten the extended warranty. That would have done nothing except cost me more money (service call $69.95), a part or two then the labor. If this review stops 1 person from buying from Goodman Mfg, I would be happy.

    We have 2 three-yr-old air conditioning systems. On 8/23, one unit stopped working. We called for service hoping to get the system up & running without paying a lot of money & since the unit is still fairly new, we prayed that parts would still be covered under the manufacture. "No such luck". We were told that we had to replace an E-Z trap, $177.00, a Safety T, $199.00. We were charged for a tune up $155.00, a diagnostic fee $99.00, an Indoor Coil (still covered under warranty) but with labor & other charges, it cost $809.00, a Coolant R-410A $69.00. The other system made an extremely loud noise while running so we had them to check that system as well and were told it needed a condenser fan motor, $209.00.

    We moved into our new home on 4/15/10. I can't image why so many problems would be happening to these systems so soon. When I reached out to Goodman to make them aware of what was going on, of course I was asked if we had an extended warranty (wish we had been told about that early on). Their only suggestion was to have the company making repairs to contact distributor for Goodman so that a field tech specialist can come out with company making repairs and make an assessment to see what's going on with the system. I am very upset that we had to spend so much money on these systems so soon and I hope Goodman will stand behind their reputation.

    After having a Goodman furnace installed in my home 7 years ago, I recently had to spend $1000 on repairs.

While the Tech was there he noticed the Combustion Blower was also noisy and dragging. He thought it might last a little longer, but I elected to replace it then as well. Since the furnace was just out of warranty, the cost for the two parts was almost $800. I have seen other complaints regarding Goodman Furnaces and must agree, they are substandard. The initial cost was low, and the unit seems to be efficient, but long term durability is poor. I have heard others say Goodmans are fine for a home you don't intend to keep. Ditto That!

    On October 16, 2012 we were awakened by a terrible noise coming from our Goodman HVAC unit inside our 6-year-old Fischer condo. We found that the noise went away when we turned off the heat, which is not feasible when the weather has turned cold recently. Since we have been under a service agreement for the past 2 years with Rick's Heating and Cooling I had them come out and upon investigation it was determined that the noise was related to vibration in the extremely long line-set (approximately 106-110 feet) and DelMonde (the installation company) had paired the 3-ton outdoor heat pump with a 2-1/2 ton inside air handler. We have not been able to use the heat pump as the compressor is failing and the coil on the interior air handler has also failed. Therefore, we have been relying strictly on "emergency" heat and space heaters and keeping the thermostat low in an attempt to minimize our electric bills.

    Additionally, Rick Martin of Rick's Heating & Cooling states that even if we replace the heating and air conditioning system he cannot guarantee future performance due to faulty installation of the existing line. Ideally, the entire system needs to be replaced and new Freon lines run in the proper location. This could be a considerable cost to us and may possibly also involve having to cut through our drywall and that of our neighbors'. Naturally, we do not wish to involve our neighbor in this matter, nor do we want to have to bring it up before our condo association board and would like to minimize intrusion and inconvenience of others. As luck would have it the heat pump only had a 5-year warranty and the coil has a ten-year warranty, however, DelMonde failed to register either item for the warranties.

    After many weeks of getting opinions from other HVAC companies, two visits from DelMonde, and numerous phones calls with Gary ** of Fischer Homes Warranty Dept. we had an inspection on December 5 with representatives from DelMonde (the installation company), a Goodman factory rep., and Gary ** of Fischer. On December 10, 2012 we received a written opinion from Rob **, the Goodman factory rep, who declared that the refrigerant line set was within guidelines of 150 feet and "equates to a capacity decrease from rating of approximately 12%" and "It is not outside our allowable design parameters per the R-22 Long Line Set Application guide and is not detrimental to the system operation." He further noted that the heat pump and air handler is a "proper" match ... and he "can find no issues with the application or installation."

    This is very perplexing to us, especially since 3 different HVAC specialists have indicated that the very long line set is much longer than they would deem appropriate and heat pump/air handler do not appear to be a proper match. On December 16, I wrote a response to Rob ** stating that we are not satisfied with his findings and felt the cost burden to replace our HVAC system should be equally shared by Goodman, Fischer, DelMonde and us. To date, we have yet to receive a reply to my proposal.

I have photographed the unit, the damage to my wall & box, and will keep the unit for your inspection and pick up. As I am involved in litigation for a living, I was attempting to give you sufficient notice to be able to conduct your own investigation, as well as give you the opportunity to rectify the situation. Unfortunately, as the 4 individuals I reached out to advised it was against their policy to identify themselves, either by name or employee ID#, I was forced just leave another phone message. I did speak to a woman who seemed very helpful, and sympathized with the situation, as it involves a 92-year-old woman, with an 87 degree bedroom, although the temperature is 74 outside. Fortunately, we have windows to open. It is also fortunate that the melted siding, for the most part, is hidden by the new power box. Unfortunately, we need to replace the unit now, given the heat this time of year, and her frail health.

    As I have not heard back from you, I have been forced into a situation where I have contacted Sears, as they can deliver and install a functional unit prior to the forecast heat wave coming up late this upcoming weekend. We have an appointment for an in-house estimate scheduled this Thursday at 6:30 pm. As service did not understand the urgency of maintaining a safe temperature for an ailing elderly resident, I am reaching out to the president, customer service, and if need be, the consumer complaint hotline in the State of New Jersey, which will list the product failure of the above unit on the internet, along with others I am aware of.

    I am a reasonable man, and would like to resolve this problem as quickly, and amicably as possible. For that reason, I will give you the benefit of the $500 coupon which we received for a Kenmore unit. I will also pay the difference in price. I will, however, look to your company for any additional charges for installation. As the unit is not functional, you can send a representative to inspect it, service, and send it back to be repaired, and even sold as a reconditioned unit. I do not think it was ever functional, since as soon at it was installed, and the York representative advised the condenser appeared to be working, it only resulted in blowing warm air. If this is the result you expect of a 2.5 ton cooling unit, only cooling a 2-room zone, I am glad you have a 30-day guarantee.

    As this has been going on since the day of the explosion, and the installer has not been available to attempt to repair or examine the unit, I am forced to look after the well-being of my 92-year-old grandmother, and replace the unit. I have no intention of allowing the opportunity to obtain a functional unit, with a guarantee that is longer than 30-days. As stated, I am willing to pay the difference, to obtain a 10-year guarantee, as well as an efficiency rating higher than one notch from worst. I will be looking to your company for the cost of the labor to replace the unit. As I requested a high efficiency, dependable unit, with a name brand that shouts out dependability, you may want to discuss the choice of this unit with the York representative, or the contractor who relayed our requirements.

    Please feel free to have a representative stop by to inspect the unit, prior to Friday, when it may be disconnected. It will still be available for inspection and pick up after that, in the yard. I will fax a copy of the letter to the York representative, who can make arrangements for its return, as I have no intention of paying for shipping of a unit that almost burned down my house. As far as the box is concerned, I'm sure that was installed prior to delivery, along with the owner's manual we never received, so we would not be aware of the low efficiency rating, as well as the phenomenal 30 days you are willing to stand behind your product. Under the circumstances, I don't blame you, and I'm glad my kids were not near it when it failed.

    If your representative has a product available, with a name brand I recognize, capable of cooling 2 rooms, which comes with a GUARANTEE OF AT LEAST 7 YEARS, I would be more than happy to consider the difference in price, as well as the installation, delivery, etc. is free. In fact, I would be willing to sign a release for any and all property damage, inconvenience, etc. Further, although I received no response to my prior complaints, I would consider allowing you time to rectify the situation upon receipt of a check for $500, so I am not prejudiced by missing the opportunity to take advantage of the Kenmore sale. Just to be clear, I have worked in the defense of product claims since 1983, and am a Senior Complex Litigation Manager for an insurance company. Although I would be embarrassed to have my name listed as a plaintiff in this matter, I am well aware my wife could proceed as plaintiff in this matter, as she issued the check.

    Hi, I have an issue about a product I have and I would like to know about what I can do about it. It all started when I had my home built in 2002. I have a Goodman heating and air unit installed new. Around $8000.00 for two units installed. We moved in the home at the end of Oct. 2002 and started using the heating unit for the first time in Dec. 2002. We started noticing in January our first month's heating bills were about $300.00. My wife was about to have our first child so we stayed with relatives through Jan. and only had the furnace on 50 degrees to keep the pipes from freezing. In Feb.. when we got the electric bill it was $640.00. I contacted the contractor who installed the unit. He came out and determined it had a defective part and changed it out, but the unit still blew out only slightly warm air. He said that was normal and that all Goodman products were like that. So we went on the rest of that winter freezing and paying the high bills.

    In the next November of 2003 we again tried the furnace and again it was still blowing out cool air. We had tried to have thanksgiving dinner here but the unit would not heat so again we had the contractor come out and found out it had another defective part so it was again worked on. At this time it still only blew out slightly warm air. So we had to spend most of Dec. 2003 with family again. This past Dec of 2004 I had another company come out to check the unit and they also found some defective parts with the unit. After they had worked on it for the first time it put out heat and worked great for about 3 weeks when it finally blew the compressor up because of two wire rubbing together inside the unit and burnt a hole in the gas lines and leaked out the fluids causing the compressor to lock up. That will cost us $600.00.

    Now by this time I have called the Goodman manufacturing company and was put on chain calling list of people to contact from the contractor to the distributor in Lexington, KY who has told us that they would contact the manufacturer to have someone install the compressor. This has went on since Jan 25th 2005 and I was told by the manufacturing rep Wed. February 23rd that I would have to pay for the compressor and labor and they MAY reimburse me part of the money. The problem is while I've been waiting 5 weeks on them to do all this runaround phone tag, I have to use the emergency backup heat to try and warm the house. It has ran my electric bill up last month to $730.00. Who knows how high it's going to be this next month. Probably $1000.00 or more.

    I would like to know if there is a way of resolving this matter with the company for their defective product. I have been paying for all the labor on these previous breakdowns and I'm tired of paying for repairs on a product that is new with a 10 year warranty that has had 5 defective parts already in 2 and a half years.

    I submitted all of this information at the beginning of May and mailed it to the address that was on the sticker. A month later, I received the letter back as "Address Undeliverable." Oddly enough, this same sticker was on my NEW A/C unit with the same undeliverable address on it. Anyway, I looked Goodman Manufacturing up on their website, called to confirm the Address with a human being and sent my request out again. By the end of July, I still had heard nothing! I got back on the website and emailed my complaint to Goodman. A Byron ** answered and wanted the serial number and model number of the OLD unit (this was never requested before). Anyway, I managed to dig up an old form from a service call when the A/C was turned on the first year we had it and gave this to Bryon. He then said that Goodman had no such warranty on this model and did I have a copy of my warranty. I explained that this was a new home and I was never given a copy of the warranty. I have not heard from him since.

    Not only did I have to replace an inferior product at a cost of $4500, but now they won't even stand by a measly $400 rebate. I think new home building is a scam anyway, if I would have purchased the A/C unit and had it installed myself (like I just did), I would have had some kind of warranty from the installer. Since it was a new home, I only had a one year limited new home warranty, which did not cover the A/C unit. I feel this company should stand behind their product regardless of the paperwork I don't have. I obviously had the A/C unit in question or I would not have a model and serial number to give them!!

    Had the furnace installed by Allens Plumbing and Heating in 4/7/97. Since then they have been here for repairs in 01, 02, 03, 04 - 3 of the 4 times have been for the HSI module (hot surface igniter), the other time for fan control board. Had a 5yr. Warranty so the first was covered except for labor. Was told by Allens they replace these all the time in this make of furnace carries a box in the truck. They also said they put the furnace in, don't make them. They also said they could put in a different kind of HSI unit for about 500.00 but not sure that would work either. Allens gave me the name and number of the furnace manufacturer. I called them and the man I talked to said he has not heard of any other complaints about the HSI unit. Could be an installation problem, should have a second opinion. Costing more money.

    He said he would call me back with a person in this area. Of course never got a call and they don't return my messages. Called Allens and told them what he said about installation and they said even if it wasn't installed right would have nothing to do with HSI unit. That is all I've heard now. Allens address and no. 205 east 14th street, Elmira Heights, NY 14903 607-734-1026 fax 607-734-2700 model#gmpn-o88-4 serial#9701800525. Other number Goodmans gave me was 877-254-4729. It's a janitorial furnace. Thanks. No address for Goodmans - believe it was Texas area.

    My husband & I purchased a new "spec" house in Feb., 1996. Since the house was already built we had no say in any of the pre-existing appliances. The heater/Ac unit was the problem and my husband who has been an electrician all of his life (he is 53 now) & even I (a police investigator now on disability) believe this specific heater to have a design problem. That problem is that the fan affects the circuit board-when the fan comes on/off-it shakes the circuit board. England's Plumbing, Heating & Cooling made the original installation. We have filed in PA against them for installing and old and defective model heater. We also want to file with your commission against them. (Do I need to file another complaint form with you?)

    The heater broke in 1997, 1998, 1999 and in 2000 it broke 6 times & has not been repaired since the last repair in October. The house came with a heater warranty which was used each time the heater broke. However, Mr. Goodman allegedly revoked that warranty in July 2000 after his company paid for parts & labor for a massive repair. His local affiliate, England's would NOT repair my heater/ac until he knew who would pay him. At that time I was on several medications which made me ill when I was too hot. My husband works mid-night shift and sleeps in the day. For three weeks starting July 4, 2000, we sweated until England's decided to made the repair. That repair lasted until Labor Day when the unit broke again. They had the part, sent someone who I do not believe knew really what he was doing and at the end of September 2000, England's repaired the heater again.

    This time we had to pay because Mr. England stated that Mr. Goodman cancelled my warranty. I was told by Goodman employees in customer service that since I had no information on the installation date that my warranty began when I purchased the home in Feb 1996. The "new" Goodman heater/ac was actually built in 1992 we found out. Ergo, Mr. Goodman said that the warranty was invalid as per Mr. England. We had replaced the circuit board 3 times over a 4 year time, a gas valve at least twice, the fan/mount at least twice. We have rebuilt the heater and it still to this day does not work and we need it in order for the AC unit to work and it is going to get into the muggy upper 80's-90 this week. We filed an e-mail complaint with Goodman's after the 5th break-down in 2000 (5 in one year) and they never responded.

    Aug.1995 purchased a Goodman home furnace and air conditioner from Corbin Mechanical Romney, WV. who performed the installation. In Feb. 1997 the furnace went out. Was unable to get Corbin Mech. to repair furnace. Contacted James A. Stanley (advertised Factory repair service) to repair furnace. Furnace was found to have damaged heat exchanger and was replaced along with a cleaning of the furnace. A few weeks later furnace went out again. A second cleaning and second heat exchanger installed. I need to note at this time that the method of cleaning by Stanley was to disassemble furnace and clean with water. I was also basically forced to pay for duct work repairs I felt were not needed but was told by GOODMAN if repairs were not made warranty would be voided.

    Repairs to duct work made and in a few weeks, furnace again went out. During this same time, Stanley replaced the printed circuit board 3 times. Stanley refused to come out. I attempted to contact GOODMAN who stated it had been reported by their representatives my basement filled with water resulting in water getting into furnace. (NOTE: only water to get into furnace was introduced by GOODMAN Rep). The decision not to replace the furnace appears to have come counsel Ralph **. I attempted on 2 occasions to contact him but he would not accept my calls or return them. I contacted the W. VA consumer affairs for mediation with no result.

    The W. VA Consumer Division sent a letter to Mr. ** asking him to send someone from GOODMAN to our home to evaluate the furnace he made. No response other than his original response of GOODMAN had been to our home and the regular basement fill with water was the reason furnace had been damaged. I attempted to contact attorneys but was told they were not interested since I all I wanted was GOODMAN to stand behind their product and replace what was apparently a defective product.

    May 2000 I emailed GOODMAN after seeing their ad on the internet regarding the warranty and how they lead the industry. I was contacted by "Susuan" who asked me to FAX info on the incident because their records were in storage. I did so. On May 9, 2000, "Susuan" contacted me stating she had turned it over to their counsel Mr.Ralph ** and he may be in touch with me. When asked, she replied she could not say. I also commented "Susuan this was the same man who refused to talk with me and made decision that GOODMAN would not repair furnace." I need to mention the heat exchangers have a lifetime manufacturer's warranty and the furnace a 5-yr warranty. Warranty will expire Aug. 2000. The air conditioner has not worked either.
