Hi,

Thanks for all the good advice.

Let me show my ignorance: "Personally when I change units again I will
make
damn sure that I get a
scroll compressor."

What's a scroll compressor ?
Why is it better ?
More expensive ?

Found on what mfg's units, etc. ?


Goodman's got it.
BTW, I'm afraid that those statistics for Goodman equipment must include
the
discontinued Janitrol line. It was the low-end junk line.

The entire brand is Junk.

Goodman also owns
Amana now and I would bet that most of the repairs necessary on the
Goodman
equipment was for the hot surface ignitor. And that they failed while
still
under warranty.

And now that's what happening to Amana. Goodman bought Amana to try to get
some better press. They found out they could save about $2-3 dollars on a
different inducer and did it. They didn't even bother to check reliability.
The inducers started crapping out almost right away and they are giving
replacements out to contractors left and right.

Goodman is now trying to have a bracket made so that these
ignitors may be replaced with the same ignitors they use on the Amana
line.
I hate to see so many folks trash Goodman.

They have a poor track record.

I personally think it is the best
bang for your buck. And in NJ there's quite a few A+ dealers to service
the warranty.


I service that line if a customer has one, but I collect for the labor AND
fixing the stuff the 'installer' didn't do correctly or to code.
