Note: Before you dive into the specific brand review, we highly recommend you to read our elaborate Gas Furnace Buying Guide in advance, there are several crucial steps you need to take before you even start to think about the brand.

goodmanGasFurnaceGoodman gas furnaces became a best-selling brand with the right combination of:

  • Quality that is good, even if not quite equal to Trane, American Standard, Carrier and Lennox
  • Low cost, with Goodman gas furnaces starting at less than $700
  • The best warranties in the home heating industry including replacement of the entire furnace if the heat exchanger fails on top models

A new era began for Goodman in 2012 when the brand was purchased by Daikin Global, one of the world’s first-tier HVAC manufacturing companies. So far, Daikin has continued Goodman’s approach of being the low-cost leader with outstanding warranties. In addition, the parent company is using its large R&D budget to improve the quality of Goodman products.

Goodman’s Features

Self-Calibrating modulating gas valves

The valves allow for easy installation. The gas valves are self-modulating and allow for auto-configure when installing.

Self-diagnostic self-board

The Goodman gas furnaces come with a self-diagnostic self-board that allows the unit to diagnose any problem. There is also a constant memory code history to check for the previous diagnosis. All these can be seen on a dual 7-inch screen display.

Best warranty in the industry (exclusive feature)

Lifetime heat exchanger warranty with 10-year furnace replacement warranty on top models like the GMVM97, GCVM97 and GMVC8. Warranty applies to original furnace owner only and is not applicable to rental properties. The furnace must be properly registered with Goodman within 60 days of installation, or the warranty will revert to a 10-year general parts warranty.

Other features include:
Enhanced dehumidification modes and auto-comfort; ComfortNet communication system that is compatible.

Note: Goodman communicating thermostat is proprietary which means if something goes wrong you can’t buy it in local hardware store. If there is no stock of your corresponding parts, you have to wait 1-2 weeks for the part to be shipped from parts center.

When you’re looking for the most cost-effective Goodman model, the strategy is to find the balance between furnace cost and energy costs. Let’s use the zone map to identify efficiency levels for each that strike that balance:

Zone
Suggested AFUE
Cost-effective Models
Zones 1 & 2 (hot) 80%
GMS8
Zone 3 (warm) 80%
GMVC8
Zone 4 (moderate) 90%
GMSS92
Zone 5 (cool) 90%-93%
GMSS92
Zone 6 (cold) 92%-95% GMVC96, GMEC96
Zone 7 (very cold) 95% and up GMVM97

Goodman has one of the best warranties in the HVAC industry. They will replace your entire furnace if the heat exchanger fails. However, you have to register your warranty within 60 days from the date of purchase. This is an important point as most customers have had complains about warranties afterwards.

Professional Contractor Feedback

A quality installation is much better than any model or brand you choose nowadays. The Goodman brand has established itself in the market, and as long as you get a good installer, you are good to go.

The Goodman might be that good, but there are some few cons every homeowner needs to be aware of before making a purchase. You may have to file all your warranty registration properly as some customers have had complaints when seeking repairs. If you have any part replaced during the warranty period, then you have to register it too for it to be covered.

Some customers have also had complaints that the warranty is for five years although Goodman claims its ten years. You have to check this properly when buying one.
