Editor Review

If you are looking for a low cost air conditoners and you dont mind a bit of extra noise Goodman can be a good option. Goodman does not make ultra high efficiency 20 SEER units but they do make high efficiency 18 SEER units. The Goodman air conditoners will not cost as much as the premium air conditioners from Trane, Carrier, and Lennox but consumer reviews complain about reliability and noise. Goodman air conditoners are not made as solid as premium brands and some contractors complain that you can tell the quality by just looking at the difference in weight of the Goodman units versus other units from premium brands. Goodman also makes the Janitrol and Amana brands.

My 4 ton 16 seer a/c & heat Goodman system has been nothing but great! My utility bill has decreased about 30% and the unit is super quiet! I replaced my old Rheem system and the difference is very noticeable.

We found more criticism and complaints about Goodman (makers of the Goodman, Janitrol and Amana brands) than any other brand. In spite of that, most contractors maintain that the problem is not with Goodman products, which are sometimes less expensive, but with faulty installation. These pros say that other manufacturers, such as Trane and Bryant, establish stringent requirements for technicians who install their equipment, while Goodman will let anyone install one of their air conditioners
