Goodman GMH95 gas furnace high (95%) efficiency — 

We switched from oil to natural gas in 1996 and the contractor told us that the Goodman high efficiency was a great furnace.  They sold them to several homes that were switching over in our town.  Within the first year, the furnace was breaking down during the coldest months.  There was a hose that would trap water and cause the furnace to kick off, usually during the night. We would have to go to the furnace and blow the water out of the tube and the furnace would start back up.  By December 1999, we had to replace the heat exchanger as it was on recall due to it cracking. It broke down on New Year's Eve and because of the crack, the gas company had to shut down the furnace for a week until the new exchanger was replaced.  We had to use micro furnaces to heat the house to prevent the pipes from freezing.  Every year after, during the coldest months, we had to have the furnace serviced for different parts that broke down. We spent more time and money repairing it than we should have.  In December 2004, the heat exchanger went again. We had enough and bought a new Trane furnace.  I found out later from talking to other community members that we were not the only ones to have issues with the Goodman furnace.  We all had to have them replaced.  I tried contacting the company but they said I would have to prove that these issues took place. Our Trane furnace has given us nothing but warmth and comfort and have had no trouble with it at all.  Big thumbs down on Goodman high effeciency furnaces!
