Goodman 14 seer CLQ series condensers

Jun 22, 2007 21 Replies

The local Goodman distributor has the Goodman CLQ 14 seer condensers (R22) on sale/clearance for a pretty good price- $709 for a 3ton unit.



I went ahead and bought a 2ton and 3ton unit, and the 3ton unit is very large- about 10" taller than the newer Goodman GSC14 series condensers.



Has anyone seen any problems with these CLQs? They have a scroll compressor, but the condenser coil setup looks a little unusual with two coils in parallel (one sitting on top of the other) and that is what seems to make the unit so tall.



Also a secondary question- got a new 6cfm RobinAir Vacuum pump and it recommends changing the oil after every use- I typically have changed the oil on my old unit after the oil starts looking cloudy or after vacuuming down after a burned-out compressor replacement- how often are others changing the vacuum pump oil?

709 is a "good price"?????

Yeah, they say "Goodman" on the front! :-)

How long do you want it to last?

ok, for s**ts & giggles, post YOUR cost of an ICP 3 ton 14 seer R22 split condenser.

At that price, he should have bought the whole inventory.

Lets just say, it's not that much more. And it's not a "sale/clearance" item.

Its not the price of the boxes, its the many years of training, education, and experience, then add the tens of thousands of dollars in specialized tools, and equipment, then there are all of the associated costs of running a business.... then there is this little matter of salary, and compensation package (medical, dental, retirement, vacation, etc). When they try to poor mouth me, or try to get me to lower the price for cash or any of that crap, I just show them my flat rate price book and tell them thats what it costs, and its not negotiable.

Speaking of [flat pricing] Nooney... what price book do you use? I've been looking at several, and I've located one software company that is touting a $3,000 price tag and I can update and print all the books I want. [Just curious who you like?]

Well, I'm in the process of switching to flat rate and I'm using Excel to make up my own books.

I feel it will not only aid in the process of finding the exact location of the charge later, but it will be tailor made for what I see in my area. The whole reason to go flat rate is to make things simple. Flipping through extra garbage isn't making it simple. It adds to the time it takes to figure the bill and that is money in itself.

Save the copy on your computer. Make corrections and print new pages whenever needed. Whether it's an increase in a product cost or adding a line item to the page. Print the page that's needed and replace the old outdated page.

I can't wait to get the whole thing in place and working!

Zeph,

Joe Crisara has a really good looking book, I saw it last year at Comfortech. When I get rid of my Collier Program, I am going to go to Joe's

Check out hsi website and give him a call. Very personnable guy, and very customizable book. Great customer interface with the book. Every assembly has a picture breakdown, and cost explanations.

For replacements we use a excel spread sheet and convert to a display sheet. Variables are changing to often.

I know you asked Steve, but thats my 2 cents

Hey. How much you going to charge us for that book? :-) Bubba

Can I charge as much as that Lennox coil? :-)

I tried something similar but it takes for ever [time wise]. And to update can be a real pain in the butt.

I was hoping a commercially available program could be easily updated [either using Trade Price Book or my accounting software] and update across the board and print without a lot of labor.

Updating as in what? Installation Price? Product Price?

Installation is a matter of changing the "setup" amount and the product price is simply changing the cost where it's at in the book.

Changing your installation price in the setup will change every line item. It's a simple as a keystroke. :-)

Ouch! We'd all be instant millionaires if we could charge like that. Bubba
