Top Goodman Heat Pump Features

Louvered Coil Guards

As you well know most HVAC systems have an outdoor component, that is the condenser. The condenser houses other components that are critical in the efficient operation of an HVAC unit. Every so often, the condenser needs to be cleaned out due to dirt and debris that accumulates within the unit, hence preventing the condenser from operating at maximum efficiency. Goodman air conditioner Here’s where louvered coil guards come in. They protect the coil housed within the condenser from getting damaged by external elements such as lawn equipment, sticks, hail etc. When compared to wire guard frames, louvered coil guards provide maximum protection to your condenser’s internal components.

Contactors with Lugs

Goodman heat pump Contactors are responsible for switching on high voltage components such as compressors, motors and other electronic components. In order to allow for solid and quick wiring, Goodman uses contactors with large screw lugs to connect the wires.

Factory-installed filter driers

Filter-driers play an important role in the operation of refrigeration and air conditioning systems. They have two roles:
  • Extracting water from a refrigeration system
  • Providing physical filtration
Under normal circumstances you would require an HVAC technician to install a filter-drier for you but not so with Goodman heat pumps. Goodman installs filter-driers while the unit is still at the factory thus negating the need for you to hire a professional. The Goodman installed filter-drier filters and absorbs residual system moisture and contaminants.

Factory-installed Suction Line Accumulator

A suction line accumulator is usually fitted within the refrigeration compressor whose responsibility it is to compress vapor. The suction line accumulator prevents the compressor from getting damaged by a sudden surge of oil and liquid refrigerant that might enter the compressor from the suction line. Usually suction accumulators are installed by HVAC professionals which adds to the overall cost of fitting a heat pump in your home. However, with Goodman, you do not need to be concerned about getting a professional to install a suction line accumulator as it is already done when manufacturing the unit.

High-Capacity Discharge Muffler

A discharge muffler used in a heat pump is engineered to alleviate or reduce noise transmission. The noise is usually caused by discharge gas pulsations when the heat pump is in heating mode. Normally, you would need to purchase the discharge muffler kit and have a professional install it. Thankfully though, when you buy a Goodman heat pump you do not have to consider such extra costs, as Goodman heat pumps come pre-installed with a high capacity discharge muffler.
