Compressors That Come With a Lifetime Warranty

Goodman AC compressors come with a lifetime warranty that is made possible by their revolutionary suction accumulator. The main reason why compressors malfunction is because of refrigerant accumulating in the suction lines. However, with Goodman’s suction accumulator this issue is resolved as it the suction accumulator traps any refrigerant in liquid form thus ensuring trouble-free operation of the compressor. Most people unfortunately do not understand the lifetime warranty. Under normal circumstances you can expect approximately 12 -15 years of service from your air conditioner not a lifetime. You also need to be aware that you will be expected to pay any labor fee for repairs.

Aluminum Coils

Recently AC manufacturers have began looking into aluminum coils as a potential solution to the formicary corrosion that occurs in copper tube aluminum coils. Goodman is in this group of leading manufacturers. Aluminum coils provide a great solution to corrosion as it is efficient and is priced lower.

Goodman Air Conditioner Model Recommendation

We recommend the GSXC18 models if you find that you are faced with a noise and humidity problem. A Goodman GSXC18 model that has a two stage cooling system will easily achieve your desired cooling settings alongside better humidity control. These models normally operate at low-stage cooling in order to maintain a low level of noise. These units come with a lifetime warranty for the compressor.
