Now I will explain how to read the serial number above. Refers to what we see, the age of goodman air conditioner for the example avove, the unit was produced in May 2013.

Although it sounds almost the same, there are differences between the serial number and the model number. Goodman serial number is very necessary when you want to check the warranty status of the air conditioner unit. While the model number is used to determine the tonnage size and the unit types.

How to Decode Goodman Model Number

Goodman Air Conditioner model number is 12 digit code. The model number includes the nominal cooling capacity in three digits beginning with zero. This three-digit number is the unit’s capacity measured in British Thermal Units.

For example, “048” indicates 48,000 BTUs. To calculate tonnage, divide the BTUs by 12,000, which is the weight of one refrigeration ton. For example, an unit with 48,000 BTUs has a tonnage of 4.

Example of Goodman Model Number

D = is for Brand (Goodman)
S = is for Product Category (Split System)
X = is for Unit Type (Condenser R410A)
C = is for Feature (ComfortNet)
18 = is for Efficiency Rating (18 SEER)
048 = is for Nominal Capacity (4 Tons)
1 = is for Electrical
A = is for Major Changes
A = is for Minor Changes

Reviews

American Standard 3 ton heat/AC unit replaced an aging system that could no longer hold Freon nor heat efficiently. One year later could not be happier. The new American Standard unit has almost paid for itself in energy savings and could not be more comfortable. Now the unit in Mom’s house is out and the order for a new American Standard has already been ordered, call tomorrow to schedule the install.
Homeowner Houston, TX
I just read a report that American Standard is the most reliable system one can buy. In 5 years I’ve had two problems with my American Standard system. Can’t say that’s a bad thing. My car is the same age and its been in the shop 5 times.

Goodman GSXC16 Review

Goodman has managed to earn a positive review, primarily due to its low prices, good quality, and excellent warranties.

Our AC unit went out during 90 degree weather and we replaced with this Goodman unit….it’s SO quiet ad efficient…and so glad we did, the next couple of weeks were over 100 degrees. THanks for an awesome product!
Homeowner Huntsville, AR
Had a Goodman installed in 2015 by a local company. I have done some research because I am having to move and found out that I was totally cheated by this contractor. I am a senior citizen and was taken advantage of. He charged me 6500.00 for the product and installation. Now I have found out that the warranty does not cover it once I move. A total rip off and I have called him twice to service it and he never called back. Maybe you should do more background checks on your installers. And so should I, but this will give your company a bad reputation.
Homeowner Orlando, FL
I could have paid a lot more for another 3 other major brands with no additional benefit. This is a high quality unit and the most bang for the buck currently on the market. A win-win in my opinion!
