Goodman heat pumps are always coming up when looking at this particular market - it is just one of those big names. It pays to know a little something about the company that you are thinking of making a purchase from, so here are a few facts.
Goodman make the full range of HVAC equipment - air condition and heating products. They are a US company based in the South - they have factories in Texas (Houston) and in Tennessee (Dayton and Fayetville). It is a company that boasts quick growth, presumably through their attempts to offer top quality at a lower price than their competitors.
Once you know how heat pumps work you will be interested in looking at how they may work in your own home setting. You will want to look at companies that can offer reliability and quality, because if you want to realize the potential savings of a five to seven hundred percent efficient heating system, you need it to last. Goodman attempt to meet this demand by offering ten year warranties on their compressors and parts on most of their product lines.
Goodman also offer nice, straightforward Packaged Systems - the PHKJ and the PHK series. These have good SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating) of 12 and 10 respectively and heating capacities of up to 54,000 British Thermal Units per Hour.
