Curiosity Question On Brands You Carry

[The Editor]

how come bryant is listing by it self from Carrer/Payne?

Actually, Carrier and Bryant are listed and Payne isn't. Mostly because Payne is predominently found in the west. However if you are mostly a Payne dealer, then add that under "other."

Thanks for everyone's participation.

carrier,goodman

american standard, bryant, and maytag here

[rufus819]

carrier,goodman

thats a strange combination, do you get a good deal on goodman? Only reason I ask is because carrier tends to cut deals for their dealers to also carry payne as their economy line. I currently work for a Carrier dealer and we also carry Payne for our economy prices, used to work for a bryant dealer that carried payne as well. No offense, just curious.

I've seen alot of Payne in NJ, the homeowner warranty companies like AHS love to use payne as replacement equipment, my current company we're a Carrier/Payne and Triangle Tube dealer

When I say carrier,I meant that to include Payne,we dealt more goodman in the past,but recently my boss has decided he's had to much trouble with goodman txv coils,so we have started using almost exclusively carrier/ Payne. With a goodman or a Raheem thrown in here and there

[rufus819]

a previous company i worked for sold some goodman units, for some reason we were always having problems with coils and compressors on their AC's and on blowers on their furnaces and most of them were only <4 years old too.

[Flashg21230]

Rheem Or their lower end unit.

Trane mostly

i question why american standard and trane are listed seperatly while goodman/amana and all of nordyne brands are grouped together. am. std. and trane have same model numbers theres no difference in brands at all.

So, with Goodman being the most installed residential brand, how do you react to when you are needed to service a Goodman system? Do you inform the consumer that you "hate" their units?

It likely has to do with grouping stuff so there is a significant market share reflected in the pole.
Nordyne has like 14 different brands, none of them have enough market share by themselves to be significant in the pole, but grouping them together shows how strong Nordyne is.

Also, you can't be both a Trane and an American Standard dealer, it is either one or the other.
You can be a dealer for as many brands of Nordyne equipment as you care to do the paperwork at the supply houses that carry them.
With Goodmana, signing up as a dealer for one automatically makes you a dealer for both.

Personally I find goodman has a very nice furnace,except their flame sensor tends to need a to be cleaned every year.i had to clean one of their flame sensors twice this year.once on a pm and once 3 months later on a no heat.some years back before they bought Amanda they had quite a bit of problems with heat exchangers but they are good now. I also don't care for their txv's as they have to be adjusted on every new system,but they are easy to replace as they are externally mounted.

He didn't say goodman equipment. He said goodman. Sounded personal. Maybe it's because goodman appears to have driven drunk, killed a guy and adopted his fiancee'.

Yea, it's kinda easy to not very much like John Goodman (not the actor) for the way he has been behaving lately. Of course, John Goodman (not the actor) has not had anything to do with Goodman HVAC equipment for a while now.

[ironpit]

Yeah. Except.......spend the money!
