Up to 19 SEER2 on premium models. Single and two-stage options. Maintaining that efficiency over the system's lifespan requires the kind of regular tune-up work most homeowners skip — and most general HVAC shops don't do correctly on premium Goodman equipment.
Verified reviews from South Bay customers with Goodman systems.
“Aerospace shift-work hours — they came on a Saturday at 7am because that's what worked. Did the full 21-point tune-up on our Bryant Evolution system. Found that the secondary heat exchanger had a hairline crack starting (CO at 22 ppm under high-fire — should be zero). Pulled the unit out of operation, called us, walked us through repair vs. replace pricing. Saved my family from a real safety issue.”

“I'd installed an Ecobee Premium myself and the heat pump kept short-cycling. Tech came out, found I'd wired Y2 to a stage-1 unit (no second stage exists), and re-mapped the Ecobee staging. Also adjusted differential and minimum cycle times. System is now running at the manufacturer's published efficiency. He could have replaced the thermostat for double the cost — instead he taught me. That's integrity.”

“Replaced a 25-year-old 80% AFUE atmospheric furnace with a Trane S9V2 (96% AFUE, two-stage variable-speed). Crew of three was on-site 7am to 3pm. They re-did the gas line to 1/2" black iron with proper drip leg, ran new 2" PVC vent and combustion-air through the side wall (not the roof — much smarter), and installed a condensate neutralizer. Permit, inspection, all handled.”

“Three-year-old American Standard system, on the maintenance plan since install. They check refrigerant subcooling, static pressure (mine was 0.42 in. wc — borderline high, they recommended a return upgrade), and amp draw on the compressor. Cleaned the condenser, blew out the drain pan with shop-vac, replaced the 4" Honeywell media filter. Comprehensive. They actually do what they say they'll do.”

“Temperature dropped to 41°F overnight, furnace wouldn't ignite. Called at 6:18 am — tech was at our place by 7:40. Diagnosed a failed pressure switch (proved it with a manometer test), had the OEM Honeywell SmartValve part on the truck, swapped it. Also found a partly-clogged condensate trap was kicking the secondary safety. Fully tested under load before he left. House was 70°F by 9:30.”

“Two upstairs bedrooms were always 8°F warmer than the rest of the house. They ran a Duct Blaster pressure test — measured 24% leakage at 25 Pa, way over Title 24's 5% target. Replaced two collapsed flex ducts in the attic, sealed plenum joints with Hardcast 304, and re-tested at 6%. Now the bedrooms hold within 2°F of the thermostat. Real diagnostic work, not guesswork.”
