Opinions on Goettl Air Conditioners?

Can anyone offer experience or opinions on this? TIA Uh, It's the name of a service company. http://www.goettl.com/ TDD 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......................... Lefty |

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. |

Actually, you'd be surprised how much builder-grade equiptment was made entirely by sub-contract shops like ICP. Lefty |

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. |
