Thank you Kathy. Great Answer.

Most hvac people hate goodmans because the brand cuts so deeply into
their profits.
Goodman sells more units and with a better warranty than any other
brand. Every goodman install means that much less money for these
guys and their high priced, high profit items.
Goodman has had the best warrany in the field for several years and
they stand by their warranty so anybody that claims that goodmans are
junk are lying thru their teeth. Don't believe anything they say.

You're right. I love Goodmans. I wish everyone single person in the
world had one. I would become rich quick. Bottomless money pits is
what Goodmans are. I replace parts after parts after parts on them.

Right. That must be why you spend so much time bad-mouthing them.

I look at it this way. If they only cost half as much as the model
you'd prefer to install, then they only need to last half as long
to be cost-effective. Bottom line, it's all economics.

In fact, the breakeven time is probably less than half, because
if you replace one with new at the halfway point, you're likely
to have improved technology for the second half.



CJT,
Are you really that retarted? So you think installing a unit half the
cost, twice, is better? What about the installing labor cost?

Of course one must do the calculation with total cost, including
installation.

Your
economics thinking is a little warped. If you are purchasing Goodman
equipment wholesale and can get parts wholesale and do your own
repairs then I can say, YES, Goodman would be a good buy for you.
Personally, I wouldnt have a Goodman in my home. Do I sell them? You
bet your ass I do. If someone insists on a cheap install, Im happy to
help and they get a Goodman. Instead of them getting the standard "One
year free service" by us they get the 90 day warranty. Why? Because
its going to break. They want cheap, thats what they get. You want
something better, I can do that too. The customer is always right and
I give them what they want.
