Goodman 4 Ton 14.5 SEER2 Air Conditioner Split System - R410A Single Stage - Multi-Positional

I wanted a reliable, middle-of-the-road HVAC package with proven technology that was 1) easy to work on, 2) did NOT require proprietary replacement parts and 3) did NOT employ cutting-edge (expensive) technology. Goodman (now owned by Daiken) filled the bill for me, altho there were other brands that might have worked just as well. Delivery was reasonably prompt. The truck driver used a motorized pallet to move everything from the curb to my rear patio without a complaint (I tipped him anyway). Installation took the better part of 2 days, with some misc. clean up & adjustments later. Now that summer has arrived with 90+ degree temps, the a/c unit seems to be performing fine. It's also quiet. I did have some thermostat issues that required rewiring on a follow up visit, but otherwise no complaints. The furnace review will have to wait for roughly 5 more months when it gets cold again. HVACDirect was very good to work with, and I would buy from them again. Goodman's warranty registration process was a tad complex, but eventually I got it done & accepted via email. Oh, and the bottom line was $9,000 LESS than my highest bid for a comparable Lennox system from a local HVAC dealer. Not too shabby, but it did take the better part of April & May (including my self-education) to make it all happen, so you can't be in a big hurry when managing a project like this from scratch all by yourself. It also helps if the weather cooperates. Otherwise, you won't have the luxury of all that time to get the job done. My advice: if your HVAC equipment is fairly old (15-20+ years) & living on borrowed time, BE PROACTIVE. REPLACE IT ALL WHEN YOUR LOCAL WEATHER IS MILD & you'll save a TON of money -- thousands of dollars -- compared to waiting until it suddenly dies and you're forced to pay up big time for an immediate local replacement. Being proactive is by far the best and cheapest way to do it. You can thank me later.

we haven't had it long enough to really evaluate the thing.. We live in South Texas where summer stats in mid February and I tell you it's 85deg+ right now.. Right now I have "NO" complaints what-so-ever.. Fine job boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everything went great. Thanks

Everything is fast and efficient as well as quieter than what we had before. Before, our ac would chug away 24/7 just to struggle to keep the house at 77, now it comes on for a few minutes periodically and the house is staying cool and pleasant. With the weird weather this year, we have also used the heater. Same story. Runs for a few minutes and keeps everything comfortable and me happy!
