Well my two Goodman units made it 23 years which is amazing. Need to get two new units installed and do the gas heater at the same time. Looking for recommendations out there. Thanks

I would go with what the AC guy says today is the best bang for the buck. They certainly outlived their normal life span. All I did was clean the fins on the condensers with Nubrite each year. Never had an AC guy out once. I have no idea on how their quality is now vs back then.

Yes for an easy to repair, parts readily available and simple unit.  Mine is almost 20 years old and just had a run cap go out and AC guy says to buy before the end of the year.  2025 has a new refrigerant that they are unsure of issues or how it works.  I have a buddy who works at a AC supply house and got a price of $4300ish for a 5ton rooftop package unit.  My theory on AZ ac units is to keep them clean and plan on replacing every 20 years.  

 
@onanysunday Big City Mechanical (Iasac Dean). Great work, fair prices. He is installing two new units on our building Saturday. I will pm you his cell

 
Good info here. Our Trane 5 ton package unit is going on 19 years, so I know we are on borrowed time. The issue is the initial installation was a hack job, and with a Santa Fe style house it's a major deal to address ductwork. Sorta stuck.

Chris says he really likes the Goodman units in today's world. Good supply of parts if work ever needs to be done in the future. Some of the other units are more difficult.

Thanks guys. I had a Goodman condenser on my old house. It had been installed fairly recently when I bought the house as a fixer upper. It was flawless for 12 years and I am shopping for house deals right now so knowing other people had good experiences with Goodman seals the deal. HVAC guys at work like Lennox. They say Trane is a good system but uses all proprietary components with no aftermarket support.
