Goodman

For many homeowners, yes. Goodman has built central air conditioners and heat pumps since 1982, positions itself as a value brand, and has been part of global HVAC company Daikin since 2012. Its products are assembled at the Daikin Texas Technology Park near Houston, and registered systems get a 10-year parts limited warranty, with lifetime compressor coverage on select higher-efficiency models.

Goodman Manufacturing makes them. Founded by Harold V. Goodman, the company began building central air conditioners and heat pumps in Houston in 1982 and became part of Japan's Daikin Industries in 2012. Today Goodman operates within Daikin Comfort Technologies North America, and its equipment is assembled at the Daikin Texas Technology Park in Waller, Texas, just outside Houston.

Goodman says its heating and cooling products are assembled at the Daikin Texas Technology Park in Waller, Texas, just outside Houston. The 4.2-million-square-foot campus, which Goodman calls the largest HVAC building in the U.S., brings Goodman's manufacturing, engineering, logistics and customer support under one roof. Daikin, Goodman's parent company, built it as part of its commitment to local, in-country manufacturing.

Goodman air conditioners and gas furnaces come with a 5-year parts limited warranty, which becomes 10 years when you register online within 60 days of installation. Select models add a 10-year unit replacement or lifetime compressor limited warranty, and furnace heat exchanger coverage ranges from 20 years to lifetime by model. Residents of California, Florida, Georgia and Quebec get registered-owner coverage without registering.

Lifespan depends heavily on correct sizing, professional installation, climate and upkeep. The U.S. Department of Energy says a regular maintenance schedule prolongs equipment life: have the air conditioner inspected each spring and clean or replace filters monthly during peak season. Goodman backs registered air conditioners with a 10-year parts limited warranty, and select higher-efficiency models add a lifetime compressor limited warranty.

Goodman's lineup covers the whole home: heat pumps, gas furnaces in 80% and 90%+ AFUE efficiencies, packaged units, air handlers, and evaporator coils — so you can build a complete matched system. We carry Goodman central split systems in cooling-only, heat pump, and A/C-plus-furnace configurations.

Goodman's newer air conditioners and heat pumps use R-32, including the split systems on our site. R-32 has a much lower global warming potential than the R-410A used in older systems, and the EPA confirms it falls below the 700 GWP limit for new residential and light commercial air conditioning equipment. That keeps these systems in line with current federal refrigerant rules.

Goodman's current lineup runs from entry systems near the federal minimums up to 19 SEER2 on the inverter-driven GXV9S air conditioner and 21 SEER2 on the GZV9S heat pump. The Goodman systems on our site range from 13.4 to 19 SEER2. Federal minimums are 13.4 SEER2 for split air conditioners in the North and 14.3 in the South and for heat pumps. Higher SEER2 means lower cooling costs.

Register online through Goodman's product registration page within 60 days of the installation date. You'll need the homeowner's contact details, the installation date, each unit's model and serial numbers, and your installing contractor's name and phone number. Registering raises parts coverage from 5 to 10 years; residents of California, Florida, Georgia and Quebec receive registered-owner coverage without registering.

Goodman equipment is usually sold through local HVAC contractors, but Home Outlet Direct sells Goodman split systems, packaged units and furnaces online with free curbside shipping to the contiguous US. Goodman offers no warranty on equipment bought online unless a dealer installs it to all applicable codes and licensing rules, so plan on a licensed HVAC contractor. Our team can help you size the system first.
