I'll likely be replacing our (still under warranty) GOODMAN heat pump. It's had at least 3 major repairs done to it costing almost $2000 in labor and (freon --3x now). Each time costing between $450-$825 in labor and stuff.
So far, the condensor has been replace about 2 years ago. The compressor has been replaced (barely 3 months ago) and now the new compressor went out yesterday evening again. None of which are small repairs.
While the warranty has covered the replacement parts, it's usually down for a week at a time (like now) and as I mentioned, I'm tired of dealing with it.
The warranty expires in 3 weeks so I'm sure the next repair is going to cost even more because I'll also have to flip for the cost of parts too.
Goodman had a class action lawsuit, but looks like some judge threw it out. So, I'm going to issue this warning to any one else in the market, don't buy a goodman.
After some research it appears that the same company makes
– Trane.
– Carrier.
– Lennox.
– Bryant.
– Amana.
– Goodman
I wouldn't trust any of them either at this point.
So, what other heat pumps are out there that are good and made by someone else? I'd prefer to put this $550 repair toward a new unit altogether because I don't see the point of keep throwing money at this one.
I'm looking for a 3.5 or 4 ton unit. The heat element/furnace works fine and I don't believe it would need to be replaced.
