Consumer Reviews of the GOODMAN DSXC18
- We have had our central air conditioning unit since we moved into our house in 2003 so its been about 8 years since we inherited the thing. For the most part there have been very few problems with it. It always does the job cooling the house relatively quickly when we decide to to turn it on which is all we really want from it. There are not too many negatives. One is that sometimes when we put it on and there is a distinct smell that comes from the vents but that is probably just from a lack of cleaning. We had to repair it once or twice throughout the years and it cost about one hundred and fifty dollars each time but only twice in eight years is pretty good. After each repair the air went back to normal. I would definitley buy the same brand again and would recommend Goodman brand central air conditioning units to anyone (friends, family, co-workers, etc).
First of all I will say that I'm extremely satisfied with my two Goodman DSXC18 A/C units. They are matched up with variable-speed furnaces and both systems are whisper quiet. You wanna know why I have had good experience? Simply because I used a very well-known company to install the units. The techs took pride in their work and they made sure everything was top quality. Here's the problem, 99% of these bad reviews are due to bad installation and/or too big or too small equipment. You will find that Goodman uses the same components as other brands. You are basically comparing apples to apples. Please, find yourself someone who actually knows what they are doing to repair or install your unit. Selecting a good installer is the most important factor of choosing a new HVAC system. Brand means nothing.
