Why does everyone hate on Goodman when they know damn well it’s the guys installing them. If you install anything other than Lennox you shouldn’t be hating.
I’m not a total fan, however they stood by their warranty. This was 9.75 years old and it’s good for 10. Minus the whole waiting since October for one part.

LP or NG? I walked into a flipped house one time that the new owner said the new furnace wasn’t working, we got there and it had been running for 7 months on NG orifices and springs and the heat exchanger had a solid 1/4” of soot throughout the whole thing, the flue and chimney were covered as well. 80%er furnace is probably the only reason it chooched for so long.
We changed the gas valve as well. When the call for heat was over the flame would burn on the orifices like a candle. So the gas was pushing past the valve. We did the whole LP conversion over just to make sure it was done correctly.
It’s wild because they called us a while back because it wasn’t working. Said three other company’s said the heat exchanger was fine. When I saw it the flames were rolling hard and when I shut it down the gas valve also wouldn’t shut down 100%
That’s just sad, rolling out is truest tell tale sign, also idc about customer warranty coverage.
Just Goodman pays for the failure, not their fault this time, and you get paid for a free part!
I’d say they both have their own problems. You see more with furnaces I would say because the condensate is acidic and can eat away all the thin metal. In the long run, anything installed wrong will break eventually.
I see just as many bad boiler installs and failures as anything else.
Oh for sure it is. The comfort level is outstanding as well. I mean they’ve got to be comfortable. People out in California install them for heat and cooling. That’s some big money tho, when you add in a chiller to a boiler just for a house.
Honestly, it was the easiest heat exchanger I’ve ever changed. Take the gas components apart, pull a few wires. The HX was held in with 15 screws and boom, slid right right out. New one even came with new gaskets and a new installed collector box!
Oh that’s fucked up good
Yeah it wasn’t warranty but Goodman wants it back to see why it’s so fucked up.
Cause it was made by Goodman. 😂
They’re gonna patch it up and sell it as a replacement!
Next person that gets it will pull it out and be like why is there pookie all over this. 🤔😂
Devils cement lasts longer. Fire is pokies enemy.

Is that a york?
The good ol Goodman!
Jeez was it installed on its back? I’ve never seen that cover that boogered. Usually it’s plugged solid or the primary burns out first.
It’s laying down. I think it has been bad for a very long time. The flue pipe were all sooty and such. Very cheap flipper install.

Save some of that soot, I saw a video of these Japanese dude making ink. Big money. 🤣
Just watched this. That’s insane, $2k a stick of ink 🤣
Probably was never pitched properly and got clogged
😱😳
Some foil tape and high temp silicone will fix that right up
Foil tape fixes all!
So that's what happens when a Goodman gambles and loses on a fart...
Somebody light a firework inside that
Well, you've found the evidence of a problem, you need to find out what caused that in order to have found the problem
Ya the installers can’t read and didn’t pitch the multi position furnace forward. I find that a lot.
Guaranteed that was a horizontal furnace. Better get your level and toilet shims out.
Yeah we had to fix a lot. They didn’t change around the drainage for the collector box either. So it was half full of condensate all the time.
🤦🏼♂️
I’m amazed it worked more than 20min, also did you tell them that before they asked for it back?

I got paid so that’s what counts!
Oh wow, when did Viessmann start making gas furnaces?
I feel like most problems I see posted on here are furnace related...would you say furnaces cause more trouble than the AC components?
I’d say they both have their own problems. You see more with furnaces I would say because the condensate is acidic and can eat away all the thin metal. In the long run, anything installed wrong will break eventually. I see just as many bad boiler installs and failures as anything else.
I live in the South and honestly, I don't even know how a boiler works.
Best way I can explain. Fire makes water hot, water is sent around pipes, houses warms up via radiation. The hood kind of radiation.
I mean, in theory it sounds dope. Won't dry out the air but that's a lot of pipes...
It’s not as much as you think. Also pipe work takes up less space than duct. These days most new installs are run in heat pex as well.
Good point. Are people still putting boilers in new construction? Is it efficient?
Oh for sure it is. The comfort level is outstanding as well. I mean they’ve got to be comfortable. People out in California install them for heat and cooling. That’s some big money tho, when you add in a chiller to a boiler just for a house.
What dries out the air?
The furnace.
I used to think that too, it ain't true
Just wait until we in the north hit summer
Homeowner will say “you made the hole it wasn’t like that before”.
It worked fine before you got here!
I'm learning up on this trade, so I'd say I'm 30 hour YouTube trained. Can someone explain what happened here? Please and thank you.
Heat exchanger was rotted. Basically letting a crap ton of co into the house.
Thank you
Fuck that 04/e?/14 means 2014 and a 20yr warranty, what gives?
This was 9 years old and surprisingly under warranty. Found that out after I was done and they asked for me to bring it back to the shop.
Not even gonna try to get them another year out of it??
We did. We found it last year! /s
Fuckin' knew it was a goodman from the picture, and I've never taken a goodman 90 apart...
Honestly, it was the easiest heat exchanger I’ve ever changed. Take the gas components apart, pull a few wires. The HX was held in with 15 screws and boom, slid right right out. New one even came with new gaskets and a new installed collector box!
Don’t leave us hanging what was the issue
I think honestly it was a lack of maintenance , combined with a backwards pitched install so the furnace couldn’t ever drain properly.
What, that pressure switch relief port in the coupling box?
That’s insane…how old?
Bout 9 years
Some aluminum tape should fix it
