Hi all.

With Goodman being the hands down low price leader; Goodman has been
the #1 choice here on the coast especially since Katrina. You see
them on million $ plus homes.

I have to love them because we get a great deal of service calls
because of them. They are very simple to work on as you all know.

But I do prefer to work on them when they have been installed by
others.

As for us installing them; we were forced to after the storm due to
the low price. But we don't anymore. Payne with their package
pricing is about the same price. Depending on tonage Payne can be
lower in price.

Any brand can and will have problems but the one thing that keeps us
from installing Goodman anymore is poor warranty parts availability.
Especially coils. We have had several occasions where we had to wait
up to 12 weeks for a warranty coil. On each occasion we called all
the local distributors and there was not a coil to be had in the
country. I have to assume that they batch their factory for
efficiency and this causes the supply disruptions. If anyone knows
some secret that I don't know to help us get coils quicker, I am all
ears.

Bye now:


Keith,

I have found that *most* evap coil failures have been from not having
the drain properly trapped. This is especially prevelent on heat pump
air handlers, and fan coils with straight electric heat. Rarely do I
find rusted out, leaky coils with gas furnaces, regardless of if its
trapped or not.

Rusty? The coils from Goodman I've seen [and Carrier] have plastic drain
pans. No?

Older installs didn't. And I do believe that the decent ones are
Fiberglass.
