- Happy happy customerThis is a great company with great products. The owner of this company is an amazing man who cares deeply for people, and it shows with the way they do business. I highly recommend purchasing any and all HVAC equipment from HVACDIRECT.COM

- Goodman refuses to fixThe concerns the maker, not HVACDirect. Goodman's warranty has an absolute arbitration clause, clue #1 CYA and they would not their mistake with the homeowner direct. They will talk to your professional installer OR who sold the unit. Problem: The spy hole in the bottom panel is in the wrong place - Error codes are NOT visible unless the cover is removed, which the interlock switch prevents the unit from operating. The circuit bd placement or assembly error is not something the homeowner needs to spend $$ correcting. I have no respect for Goodman, and the 1 stars reflect upon them. Is it just my unit? That's why a class action would help but it is not legally allowed.
