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

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.

Furnace, condenser and heat pump electronics are usually made by a third
party manufacturer, such as Honeywell, White-Rodgers, or others. Actually,
you'd be surprised how much builder-grade equiptment was made entirely by
sub-contract shops like ICP.

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.

The label with the model number and serial will have the manufacturers
name on it. the Goettl website lists several brands of equipment that
they sell and install.

The component that matters most is... the compressor. Try and
figure out who made that. If it was US made, it was probably
one of only a handful of companies. Of course, it could be
an Asian import too.

Sure, but the object was to figure out who's AC unit it was. Other
documentation can usually be found once this is known.
