Goodman Country!

There are several different brands of Heat Pumps and A/C you can have installed at your home. Brands such as Trane, Rheem/Ruud, Lennox, etc are all top brands and are some of the more reliable.However at the very bottom of the spectrum is the brand Goodman (and Janitrol). These are substandard poorly built rattle traps that are usually associated with the low bidder, small time HVAC contractor, or slum lord.These units were commonly installed in the Phoenix area on new tract homes along with builder grade Trane and Carrier units. However the Goodman line had the highest failure rate, many times more than the Trane and Carrier failure rate combined!Typical problems were bad (stack relay) blower relays that failed in approx. 75% of the heat pumps until they finally stopped using them about 3 years ago. However the condenser fan motors still don't last any longer than about 3 years in our sun and the cap tubes (refrigerant tubing) in the heat pump condenser units would have about a 75% failure rate as well, and usually in the 1st through 3rd year.The problem was so bad a few years ago that the many home owner associations leaned on the builder who then leaned on the installing contractor to extend the labor warranty by a few extra years. In the video you will see the typical daily repairs I performed in an 5 square mile area I called "Goodman Country". Yeah there were sections of homes with Tranes and Carriers in the nearby area, but Goodman failures were many, MANY times higher and these same repairs are all I did day in and day out for a few years. Same repairs on the same streets in the same neighborhoods!It was so bad that when diagnosed the unit, the customer wouild say "it better not be those cap tubes leaking..." before I even told her my diagnoses!Neighbors talk when 50+% of them have the same problems!

Carrot adds immediate value uplift to a meal
Australia's largest corporate takeover involves the second largest supermarket chain in the country. The dealmakers looking to keep the cost of food low, and bring in more processed food "homebrands" into the supermarkets, graze from an entirely different, luxury food chain in Australia.

Coles and Safeway are gradually ruining Australia. They are slowly replacing known brands with their own homebrands sourced from overseas. Click on the link to read more.
