Purchased: August 2023 - still works GREAT!I kzbin.infoUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn live in a studio and during the summer it gets scorching hot - really old building with no ac units. I can’t express how EASY it was to install. This unit has been a life savior during the summer and some days during other seasons where it can still be a bit warm at night. In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it. May look into it late but I don’t worry about much humidity in the apartment. I don’t understand why the negative reviews since all things mentioned, I personally did not find issues with. Definitely worth it!

*Great with keeping my 1st floor **Fastly.Cool** . Had a little struggle getting it to sit properly in my small window but once I got it situated it works perfectly.*

[@mightyoak11111]

Love to see American manufacturing

[@bhunter3850]

Thanks for the video. It is so interesting to see how units are built.

[@HVACdirect]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@fenderstrat6519]

Don’t ever buy a good man lol. They are junk.

[@zgrif]

@@fenderstrat6519 Nah Goodman actually isn’t bad. The main issue is that they sell to basically anyone, so there are tons of piecework hacks out there rushing through installs

[@xavierscorner6308]

just installed my 80,000 btu furnace from you guys..97% eff. I also got a new 4t condenser and 4-5t evaporator coil from your facility. Haven't hooked up the ac yet but heater works great. Goodman is good quality!

[@robertevans7189]

no

[@Leon5495]

Aluminum for coils is a bad idea. Very diff to repair and burst pressure is lower than that of copper. Just because it passes the test at factory, doesnt mean it will be fine for years

[@varise4216]

Bought my split system over 10 years ago. Clean the outside unit every year. Have never had any trouble with it sold the house and in my new house installed a 3.5 ton unit hopping I get the same service from it, have told everybody with my satisfaction with goodman

[@HVACdirect]

Thanks for the comment about your Goodman system! We share your confidence in Goodman and thank you for letting everyone know about it!

[@marcusfitzgerald59]

Goodman are trash.

[@bigblue3568]

Blame the install or whatever you want but several houses owned and everyone that had a leaking coil that had to be replaced was... drum roll....... a Goodman.

[@stevee7774]

I’m beginning to come to the conclusion that they all leak nowadays. I’ve got a five year old Westinghouse/Nordyne coil leaking like a sieve right now. Mine is aluminum micro channel junk.

[@techfive7202]

Aluminum coils is what will take the industry by storm! It sure did! Lol

[@EltonsakuraJim]

Good video 🙋👍👍👍

[@bills6946]

A refrigerator can run for twenty years without any leaks whatsoever, yet an evaporator leaking one half of an ounce a year is standard and acceptable? Why?

[@ericmendoza8243]

I would assume the operating pressures is the biggest reason. Standard 410a pressures on a warm day run around 120/330ish so all the connections are under higher stress since freezers can run around 15/140ish while running.

[@peterdarlington4117]

Only with goodman! It’s trash buy a carrier or Ruud/Rheem two best units made right now! They also started using crap compressors and broad ocean evap motors trash trash trash!! Oh and new refrigerators ain’t lasting close to 20 years😂 when I started in hvac 25 years ago I was pulling out GE and carrier units that were 35 + years old still running and holding charge today you won’t find a unit that will last more than 15. It’s all trash but Goodman is the worst! But I make good money repairing them so keep up the great work guys!

[@techfive7202]

.5 half ounce leak rate doesn't seem like much but leaks only become larger. My leak detector can detect at .05 a year.

[@usaman3434g]

Leaks galore on air handler coil after 6 years. Sure, it's under warranty...but part already on 4 month backorder. What about replace the unit like other warranties?

[@jackfrost-fu7hz]

My Amana evaporator coil leaked after 3 years, was replaced under warranty but cost me $1500.00 for the labor and Freon.

[@xuetongyang6331]

Do you need hair dryers, condenser pipes, insulation materials

[@rizwanmirza7442]

Where is located this plant

[@desifre3544]

Airfel mobile air conditioner only works on the fan after 15/20 minutes of operation. LE makes it flash on the screen.

[@Bigsteve123]

And every aluminum coil will begin to leak where the aluminum is brazed to the copper pipe. They know this. That’s why they melt that rubber sleeve around that joint and it still doesn’t help.

[@georgewelker853]

Sure eventually, but being in the industry, it’s not the copper to aluminum joints that are the problem, it’s the process of brazing the U bends on the aluminum tubes in the coil slabs that have been the problem with these coils industry wide.

[@charlesterrizzi8311]

This has not been a problem at all, the aluminum coils are actually pretty good, the other previous iterations? Ugh

[@Bigsteve123]

@@charlesterrizzi8311 I’ve been in the apartment industry, mainly dealing with the Goodman slant coils from 2012 and newer. Every one I’ve had to replace all leaked in the same factory joint. Not saying the entire coil design is bad but it’s just a pain to deal with on the slant wall mounted units.

[@estherduffy4031]

I had a GOODMAN Horizontal fan coil install two years ago in my condo unit. The Unit started making loud snapping and clanking sounds while heating and cooling. The rep says it is normal. This thing is so loud it wakes me up at night. In the last 2 weeks it started making a high pitch sound. Is this normal? I called GOODMAN customer service , they were of no help at all.

[@HVACdirect]

Hi Esther! Did you purchase your fan from us?

[@stepankvach5802]

I’m surprised that they install heat strips, usually it’s field installed

[@georgealvarez8535]

Because that's a front return

[@arlenequoyle6063]

Can't ger it registered

[@STATFIGHTER10]

My goodman lasted 8 years.. two evaporator coils now it leaking...I called the goodman factory in texas and were no help to me no warranty no nothing and I registered before the 60 days.. I registered the unit on line but they have no record of it being registered for warranty.. how convenient there's no record of it.... amazing the price of the coil is $750.00... Well no more goodman ac units for me i done......

[@alanmaroney8395]

did you register on line?? did you speak to tech line or consumer affairs?? what was the case number they gave you? or did you speak to a local distributor? what area are you?

[@mcroley591]

If you registered the unit online, you should have printed a copy of the registration and received an email as confirmation at the time. Your installation contractor should have registered the unit for you as well as gone to bat for you with his distributor.

[@stevee7774]

Chunk it in a landfill and get a couple window a/c units.

[@princesspumpkinpanty]

Goodman might make a cheaper product but it also feels cheap.

Well with slave wages

[@dtiydr]

0:29 New development yea right, aluminum is cheaper then copper but worse at leading heat and thus worse in general but of course sold for the same price.

[@JM-yx1lm]

Ya but the copper coils will corrode. You have tin, copper, and aluminum all touching each other. Not good. All aluminum will last a hell of alot longer.

[@dtiydr]

@@JM-yx1lm The copper coils was protected by thick paint, they will not corrode. But that was not the issue, that was that they would sell it for the same price either it was copper coils or aluminum.

[@josephgomez2249]

Thank you for your input. I sell HVAC and ours have copper tubes, I didn’t know there was a difference.

[@dtiydr]

@@josephgomez2249 There is, it's not huge but absolutely measurable. In some areas you won't notice if used aluminium but in other places and installments it could have made a huge loss fex.

[@stevee7774]

I’d rather have copper tube/fin coils any day over cheap aluminum micro channel leakers.

[@julianc8646]

The second one just failed. New unit installed three years ago. Removing the whole Goodman system. Taking it to the recycle. And installing different brand. . Good luck. Didn’t work for me at all.

[@HVACdirect]

Sorry to hear that - Your unit should still be under warranty. Send us your system information and we'll be happy to look into it. [e-mail]

[@johnnysaltyaircrabcake8030]

Did you guys study " This Old House" scripts to and how to act in front of a camera.. or did you hire the director

[@jamesrogers4674]

I have 5 goodman systems. Gearing up to be able to braze aluminum on the coils when they eventually fail. Turn in the warranty info folks, receipts aren't good enough. They warranty the person not the product.

[@HVACdirect]

Thanks for the tip, James. Glad you love your Goodman systems, we do, too.

[@IronFist.]

I hope the 'engineers' at Lennox are watching this video Might learn how to build an evaporator coil that doesn't need to be thrown in the trash the day after it's installed

[@charlesterrizzi8311]

Yes Lennox…the brand so bad they make Goodman look competent

Half ounce a year. I want zero leakage. Millions of small leaks add up to gas in environment.

Wow, I see even back when this was filmed 8 years ago there were companies trying to make themselves look woke and Progressive inserting additional women into there videos that are for public consumption, as if there are naturally tons of women seeking grueling, dangerous, and often boring jobs working on an assembly line in factories and heavy machinery manufacturing. That work is hard, dangerous, loud, riddle with toxic chemicals and sharp edges, and it often sucks or at best is my numbingly boring. Did I mention dangerous too? Of course, there are some women who will do it. But I just find it funny how videos like these try to make it look like those women or anything more than 3% or 5% of the people who voluntarily choose to do this stuff.
