Why are Goodman so much cheaper?


Goodman isn't the cheapest brand out there. There are many brands that
are
cheaper!

Again, your comprehension fails you.
I did not say they were the cheapest. I said they were cheaper. I freely
admit that I don't know who is the cheapest.


You also don't know who's the best either!
As you don't know much about the HVAC/R industry.


<<more BS snipped>>
Yes, we do... but it's not based on equipment. It's based on "who's going
to
give me the best service", "who's going to stock parts for this unit",
"who's going to go the extra mile when I need them too", "where can I get
the parts if this distributor is 'out of stock' and it's an emergency",
"who
has the better warranty", "who is easy to deal with", "who is going to
take
care of warranty issues (without hassles)", etc...

Someone else mentioned that many of the parts are interchangeable among
brands, so how is this a problem?

Try putting a computer board from a Ford into a GM product. Will it work
properly?

A Lexus dealer/distributor has car tires... will they fit my Semi?

Now, do the same thing to your HVAC equipment. Is it any different?

But what about all those brands you claimed were identical?


Let's assume for a minute that you can get equal service for any brand.
Which would you be first to install? Which would be the last?


I see you've never been in business...

Evasion noted.

Come on - what's the very last brand name you'd install in your own house?
It's not that hard a question.

The quality of service from a distributor is no different then the service
you get from a dealer. Are they always going to be equal? No!

But, for entertainment...
If you had a brand that was offered by one distributor vs. a brand where
several distributors offered it, which brand would you purchase?

Not the one that's at the bottom of the rating list, for starters.
I would defer to my installer, after having given him a few brands I'd be
interested in.

Don't get the idea I'm down on tradesmen. I simply prefer to make an informed
decision.
