Frequently Asked Questions About Goodman Air Conditioners

Here are some frequently asked questions about Goodman AC Units from maintenance to just general information.

Unit capacity: Is a greater capacity unit better?

This really depends on the size of the room (or rooms) that you plan on cooling. Square footage is key here. For more space, you want greater capacity. For a small area, getting a large capacity unit will simply turn it into a giant refridgerator! What you need to do it match the proper capacity to the size of area you are cooling.

Keeping the air cool: Is it necessary to close doors inside my home or building?

Absolutely not. Your Goodman AC unit is going to work to cool the area to the requested temperature. Closing doors can restrict the natural airflow of the building and can actually cause the unit to spend more effort in order to cool all of the area that is desired.

Thermostat: Is it really beneficial to have a programmable thermostat?

Pairing a programmable thermostat with your Goodman AC unit is really advantageous. The plus here is that you can control when your building is a specific temperature. This helps keep bills in check!

Filter replacement: How often do I have to replace the filter?

Goodman air conditioners, like all air conditioners, accumulate dust, dirt, pet hair, etc in their filter. This can result in the distribution of dirty air into the room or rooms instead of clean, fresh air. Having the filter clogged with these things can also lead the AC unit to expend more effort and energy while producing cool air. It is best to clean or replace the filter every few months.

Maintenance work: How should I maintain my Goodman AC unit and how frequent do I have to do it?

For starters, keep the area around the AC unit clean from dirt and debris to keep it from passing through the unit and into the inside air supply. The filters and exterior casing can also be cleaned with a hose. As for keeping the unit functioning properly, you can have a skilled technician check the unit every few years to make sure all parts are funcitoning properly. By keeping it properly maintained and clean, you can trust that your Goodman AC unit will last a long time.
