So you really think that Goodman equipment is such a good deal?

FWIW; I've installed many different brands. And they all have their troubles.

The worst is the propietary boards from "we all know who." You are all right!

But you have to admit, the Goodman warranty [not an add on warranty] is the best being offered right now. And Goodman's A+ dealers are paid their street rate on the warranty repairs. That's not a bad deal.

I don&#39;t think so... their pricing doesn&#39;t reflect anything... it just keeps going up and up and up!

Their line-up has had great improvements...

Sure there is...

They just have... new heat exchangers new inducer assemblies new high limit controls new circuit boards new flame sensors new ignitors

Did I miss anything? :-)

I&#39;d rather own a Goodman then a Nordyne unit. LOL

Yep, the tubing is too f****ng thin in today&#39;s coils!

Seems like it doesn&#39;t take much environmental conditions to ruin today&#39;s coils. :-(

It may not be environmental.....2 questions need to be answered first.....

1) Were the coils in air handlers?? or with furnaces?? 2) Did the drains have proper traps in them??

If the coils were in air handlers, and didn&#39;t have traps in the drains, then thats a completely different issue.

The coils were not in air handlers. They were both uncased A-coils on top of Goodman 80% gas furnaces. Both did not have traps as I dont generally install them on "above the blower" applications. Young kids and toddlers in the home so only Momma/s (one hot, one not) using things like hairspray chemicals. No photo labs or anything out of the ordinary I could find. Bubba

That being the case, you may have gotten some coils with flaws in the tubing.... maybe some kind of problem in the manufacturing process... It doesn&#39;t take mucn because the tube walls are only .025 inch thick. Maybe some more of China&#39;s finest work??

I&#39;ll buy that, big time.

Last year, I was out of 3/8" tubing and needed about a 1&#39; piece. Next door is an Ace Hardware. So I bought the little box of generic type-L x 6&#39;.

I used the whole freaking 6&#39; to finally have a 12" piece with both flared ends intact.

It was like trying to flare a piece of Mostaccioli!

It ripped, it split in multiple seams, it even tore apart into little flake pieces!

Yes, little flakes of copper! Sort of like, crumbling up a sugar cube.

I could hardly believe my eyes. China&#39;s QC is purely rolling the dice.

Even for just an atomizing air line, I replaced it the following week, just because I was THAT uncomfortable leaving it in-line.

To be honest, I&#39;ve found *most* refrigerant leaks in the evaporators. What&#39;s up I think is that the manufacture&#39;s only need to provide 150 psig bursting. [Except for the R-410 coils]. So the copper *is* thinner.
