Buy Janitrol (Condensing Units)

In 1982, with the purchase of Janitrol, Goodman Manufacturing Company, L.P. entered the market as a manufacturer of central air conditioners and heat pumps, launching one of the most successful operations in the HVAC industry.

Central air conditioning helps keep your home cool and reduces humidity levels. By transferring heat from air located inside your home to the outside, conditioned and cooled air is left to be re-circulated. Using electricity as its power source, the compressor inside an air conditioning unit pumps coolant, or refrigerant, back and forth to gather heat and moisture from indoors. Warm air from inside is blown over the cooling coil, which is connected to the compressor, and then pumped back into your home.

Fueled by electricity, heat pumps are used for either the heating or cooling of your home by transferring heat between two reservoirs. In the warmer months the heat pump acts like an air conditioner, moving heat from inside your home to the outside. During winter months, heat from outdoors is transferred to the interior of your home. Even a 32º-Fahrenheit day still produces enough heat to warm a home via a heat pump.

Like heat pumps, furnaces keep your home warm in the winter and serve as an important part of your air conditioning system in the summer. In a furnace, gas or oil is combusted in a burner and then heat produced from that reaction passes through a heat exchanger where it is transferred to the air distribution system. The ductwork throughout a home carries and disperses the conditioned air and the flue or vent pipe releases the byproducts, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, outside the home.

There are many heating and air conditioning systems to choose from today. By contacting a Goodman Manufacturing Company, L.P. dealer, you have access to a vast degree of heating and air conditioning knowledge and experience to help you decide on the system that best fits your specific needs. The size and age of your home, as well as the number of rooms, climate, local and regional utility costs, degree days and utility incentive rebate programs are all factors that will affect the functionality and, therefore, selection of your system. Goodman Manufacturing Company, L.P. dealers, utilizing the latest technology, consider all these factors and, most importantly, your input while assisting you in choosing the best system for your home.

Consumers seeking to replace an existing system often choose a new unit with equal or higher efficiency ratings as compared to their previous system. Replacing a unit that is greater than 10 to 15 years old may reduce natural gas or electricity costs from 30 to 50%.

Contacting a Goodman Manufacturing Company, L.P. Dealer can help you to define your initial cost, warranty protection, service options, maintenance options and operating cost. Once you have chosen a system it is important to remember that proper installation is a major factor in maximizing its operating efficiency and your comfort level.

The basic structure furnace, heat pump, air conditioner is basically the same from manufacturer to manufacturer. The main difference between units is the heat exchanger on a furnace and the coils on an air conditioner or heat pump are made by the manufacturer and the workings; fan motors compressors, electrical controls are made by a hand full of the same manufactures.
