Should you replace your Goodman furnace with a new unit if the repairman said it was a cheap brand with a high maintenance to repair but the Goodman is only five years old?

== == Goodman furnaces have 10 year warranties on all of their parts. They use the same manufacturers for their controls, motors, burners, Transformers, and many other parts as the other manufacturers of furnaces. I repair all brands of furnaces and have heard similar cuts against the other brands. I find that all brands have about the same repair rate and some people may have more repairs than others even though the furnaces are exactly the same model.

== == No. Goodman is an inexpensive brand, but is not cheaply made. I do not find that Goodman units break down any more frequently than Carrier, York, or Trane. I'll say no too, but I do find that Goodman breaks down more than Trane, Carrier & York in my area. I wouldn't get rid of it either, especially in these tough economic times. Maybe invest in a home heating protection plan (that covers parts &labor) from a local hvac contractor or utility.
