What brand 410 A are you guys installing?

Posted by Gary on May 10, 2008, 12:04 am

I posted last week about starting with 410A & wanted to know what brands
some of you are selling & if you're having good results so far.
I changed from Heil to Goodman quite a few years ago & contrary to
what most might think have never regretted it. My warrantee problems have
been virtually nil & profits have been better for years. Lately I've been
having some leaking AH coils on in warranty units & am starting to get
worried. I'm a little nervous about using their 410A units since they use
the same coils as their 22 units so decided to change brands. I tried a
Payne 410A last week & it went OK for now. Just looking for some
experienced opinions good or bad.

For us Gary, we've not hand any issues. Although in '06 there were some ADP
coils [5 - ton] that had cracked pans. We got one, and started checking the
boxes before we installed 'em. Otherwise, all is well.

Gary, I have been installing Rheem for years, and have only had one evap
that leaked after 6 months, out of dozens of R410a systems I have installed.
My business became profitable when I went to flat rate and learned about the
business of running a business.

They just opened a new Rheem distributorship here in Myrtle Beach.
I might look into their units.
Maybe Goodman coils aren't as bad as I suspect but it makes me nervous
having quite a few leaks recently after going years without much problems
at all. As far as learning about the business of running a business I
don't think I'll ever get the hang of it. I've been doing it about twenty
five years & watched rookies fly by me & make at least what looks like a
fortune. At least I'm not in debt but I think I'll be working till I drop.
