Thanks for the reminder for buying some spare boards, working on it.nyone can buy Goodman control boards, blowers, etc. I bought a spare
When I could not patch & repair our 35+ year old R-22 FHP system, I obtained quotes from vendors for a modern replacement.
The factory brands (Carrier, Trane, etc) were more $$$ than I had to spend, so I went for the "Supply House" brand, Goodman.
Here, anybody w/ a pickup truck and an account can buy a pile'o Goodman heat pump parts, install them, get paid, and disappear.
I had read many complaints about the quality and reliability.
Downloaded and read the installation manuals, made a quiz, administered to the contractors
that came to provide quotes.
None of them could provide the correct answers.
So they were just Gypsies that threw the equipment in place and got paid.
No wonder there were reliability issues, and the resulting bad reputation.
I did not want them doing the install, so I made a deal to buy the Goodman parts and supplies, my son & I installed it all,
had them come back and charge it w/ R-410A when we were done.
(I tried to find a way to get a license to buy R-410A, only found very expensive training classes)
The Goodman documentation was excellent, and we followed the instructions exactly, took our time.
Running perfectly since 2017.
I put in a Micro-air Easystart in early 2022, when I connected the heat pump to the Schneider XW-Pro inverters, great!!!
