A friend is considering buying a home in the Phoenix that has a 4 year
old Goettl air conditioner installed. From having been in the house on
a very hot day, it seems to do a good cooling job. The unit is a 4
ton, 13 seer, roof mounted.

I'm not really familiar the the brand. Can anyone offer experience or
opinions on this?

TIA

Uh, It's the name of a service company.

Sadly, this is happening more and more. Furnace makers are getting their
pop-in logos replaced by the installing dealer, who simply has a similar
plastic logo made-up. Without furnace or a/c equiptment documentation,
you'll be lucky to ever figure out who made the dumb thing. Actually I've
noticed this so much on Goodman brand garbage lately that I think they must
offering to make them up for the dealers themselves. Go
figure.........................

Should be pretty easy to find the manufacturer. Pretty much
everything you come across has electronics in it these days. Look for
the FCC ID and go to fcc.gov to look it up. If not, it's probably UL
listed; same deal.


Likely that won't yield much since it will only tell you who the gypsy
outfit who builds nameless units bought the various boards from.

The UL/CSA/ETL listing should still work. Of course it could *really* be a
fly-by-night outfit and not listed, but it's worth a try.
