Participant[quote=flu]You folks are lucky. My furnace is tucked away in the attic. PITA to get too.[/quote]
Wow, that sucks flu. Mine luckily is in the garage. So it’s as cheap as they come in term of labor cost. They have plenty of room to work.sdr, so your Goodman have been treating you well huh? I’m also leaning toward Goodman as well, especially reading about all the failure of the Trane (which seems to be equivalent to the Goodman). If they fail about the same, then why not just go with the cheaper one and use the $ difference to pay for the repair cost.
We like to keep our house at a toasty 74 degrees throughout winter, so a high efficiency furnace will pay for itself quite quickly base on my calculation.

ParticipantI’m pretty sure our 2 year old furnace is a Goodman.
Our old heater was original to the house – so it last over 40 years… I’d call that a good run.
No AC for us… we’re too cheap and coastal enough to get away with it.

April 20, 2010 at 4:50 PM #541314ParticipantUCGal, have you heard about these programs that’s going to come online in a couple of months?
http://energycenter.org/index.php/incentive-programs/pace-property-assesed-clean-energy/faqs-about-pace
http://www.californiafirst.org/This is the main reason why I’m considering AC. We get decent canyon breeze, so, on average summer day, we’re OK. It’s only bad when we get a Santa Ana, where even the breeze is hot.
If it cost $2-3k more to add AC and I get to amortize it over 20 years, that’s $100/year. I think that’s totally worth it.
Our current heater is also ~20 years old, but because of the tax credit and these program, it’s totally worth it to get the best stuff and get it soon.
