18 Month Central Ac Unit With Leaking Coil

by Paul P
(OCALA, FL.)

Can anyone help me on how to deal with Goodman? My evaporator coil is leaking and the installer tell me that Goodman will replace coil, but I will have to pay 400 to 500 dollar to have a new evaporator coils installed.

Can believe a company will not stand behind their product. The installer said he has had this problem with other Goodman coils, any advice as to how to handle this??

starstarstarstarstar 		Goodman Furnace & AC compressor, Aspen Evap coil NEW
by: Anonymous

I had to shell out close to $1300.00 on labor alone to replace the evap coil on my Goodman system. We bought our home in the fall of 2012, we had issues with the heat right off the start with carbon building up on the heat sensor. We only had 2 seasons of AC use, went to turn on the AC and FAIL. The unit was blowing warm air, AC tech said the evaporator coil was rusted and leaked all the coolant. Goodman systems are garbage, Why won't builders install a Trane, Carrier or Lenox system for $600-$1000.00 and be done with it, Why put new home buyers through HELL for nothing?
Turn out the Evap coil was made by Aspen

I brought a Goodman a.c. unit in 2009. In 2011 capacitor went bad cost 95.00. In 2013 leaking refrigerant had ac charged more than once cost 250.00. The leak due to evaporator coil cost for labor 400.00. In 2014 compressor locked labor cost estimate 700.00.the next week leaking coil in outside a/c unit cost to repair 700.00 labor. I cut my losses and replaced unit with rudd. I have been please so far. Goodman is a dysfunctional air conditioner and it almost made me that way. There are two many problems to mention but it cost me a lot money and anguish. Do your self a favor buy anything but a Goodman.

Goodman will replace the coil but won't pay for refrigerant, labor cost and freight. Goodman cannot control how the unit is installed or how it is Maintained. And that is with all the other A/C manufactures. Proper installation
,Refrigerant charge and Air filteration .SORRY FOR SPELLING I'M JUST AN A/C TECH That has installed different brands for the past 18 years and most are still running .All brands are all the same to me. And yea some will have a bad coil from Manufacture but it will show up within the 1st couple of months.

Have had central air unit for a year and have had two leaks and it will not cool house on days that the temperature is over 85. Have had service people out 4 times because of dissatisfaction.

Electric bills are very high. It runs constantly and is very noisy. Old unit was over 17 years old and worked well. Would not recommended a Goodman AC.

Same problem here with leaking coil. I don't know who's telling the truth, the installer or the Goodman Company. I'm furious over having to pay to install another coil on a unit used less than 2 seasons. Boo to Goodman and boo to Peters Heating and Cooling in Columbus IN.

You need to call you contractor right now. Your central ac unit is only 1 year and it won't cool below 79 degrees.

Goodman Hvac unit has improve over the years. this is just wrong.

by: beach in the desert

installed the central ac unit last year. bill went from $270 per month to $420 but noticed it not cooling as well. repairman came out and added freon and installed a new thermostat.

Now won't go below 80 degrees. seems worse when its humid out. Had previous unit for 11 years n never added freon once so wondering if this is indication of a leak. What were some signs of a leak that others have had?

by: Randy

I am going through the same problem at this time,
going to raise the dickens with the company about the coolant, has leaked some from the start, it sure isn't a labor charge and if the part wasn't faulty it wouldn't have leaked, is a rip off.
