It seems you've tossed the cart in front of the horse junior.
Think to yourself. Why would an HVAC contractor that sells and
installs HVAC equipment want to cut out his equipment profit and only
work for labor?
Answer: Most no one will. No reputable companies, that is. You fell
for that story line on the website where it says, "you buy the
equipment at half the cost of the hvac contractors and then we give
you a list of hvac contractors that will be happy to install your
system". BAHAHAHAHA. You have left yourself with only the hacks and
crooks to install your system.
Only one way I would now handle your install. I charge you my regular
labor AND I add the mark-up in for the equipment that YOU bought.
THEN, you would be covered......and only if it is equipment I would
have picked. That Goodman crap you most likely picked only gets a 90
day labor warranty from me.
Good Luck,
Bubba

Ditto here, (Pasagoula, MS)

Katrina was pretty nasty, but the good news is I finally found out which of
our service trucks would float! :-)

Had to work out of a 1990 Olds for a few months with a 5 gallon pickle
bucket for a tool box...

Lost half of my library (anything that was sitting lower than 48 inches in
my house.) Lost all of my instruments, computers too.

My insurance says I was not covered for flooding because they said I didn't
need to be...

And to hell with FEMA! All money comes with strings attached.

Good to hear from you!

Love to hear more first hand reports of how things went. I'm sad to
hear that you lost so much. But as you say, working out of an
Oldsmobile with a bucket of tools. I would guess that you did a lot of
good work, and fixed a lot of systems with only minimal tools. After
all, tools are essential. But it's the man who gets the job done.
