What size is my Comfortmaker A/C unit?
T-Floyd
the outside unit. I have a gas furnace model GUG094A016N that is
90,000BTU, but the outside units tag is gone. I scraped the rusty tag
on the hermetic condenser and this is what I got.

I'm pretty sure this is a Bristol compressor, but when I go to the
Bristol web site and dig through their library I get Nothing.. Do any
of you have any idea what size unit this is?? I'm thinking 3ton or
3.5ton. I have about 2000sq.ft. heated/cooled.
Thanks,
Troy

Because you haven't learned the "secret handshake"

Yes.

Suggest get a tech out, have him take pressure /temperature and compressor
rla readings.

Well, it's obvious that the "BM" at the start of the
model number stands for bowel movement.
Other than that, I guess you're shit outta luck.

give me a quote on a new system. I'm just trying to learn a little
about these things so that I can be an informed customer. My buddy has
his own HVAC business on the side that's he's trying to get off the
ground and although he is an Electrical Engineer turning HVAC
technician, he's only been at it a little over a year. I hoped that I
could tap into some of your experience.
Thanks.

I tried to get a little on the side, but I couldn't find the hole.
Good luck.

I'm thinking that you need to call a *competent*, local, insured,
professionally trained, HVAC technician(not a wannabe, or Billy-Joe-Jim-Bob)
to do a complete heat loss/load, and duct sizing calculations to correctly
size your new system. I would hope that your not going to go back with
Comfortmaker... In my experience with them, the ones that weren't bad
and/or/leaky out of the box, leaked like a sieve after just a couple of
years. They are very good for business. I love changing those leaky evap
coils at $800 a pop.
I bet that the existing system was installed by the lowest bidder, and you
got waht you paid for.
With the cost of the new federaly mandated 13+ SEER equipment, it would pay
you to get it done right this time.

Air units are original. The heat exchanger is almost completely gone.
So, we are going to replace both units. I am looking to go with a
Trane spit system 13 SEER or maybe 14 SEER depends on the price
difference he gives me. He also is giving me a quote on a Goodman
system. Any comments on the Goodman brand?? Do they hold up?
I looked at Consumer reports and as far as repair records Goodman was
at the bottom of the list and Trane was #2.

Consumer Reports is in itself, garbage.
Due to the fact that HVAC units in some states can be installed by any John,
Dick or Harry, and in others, must be installed and worked on by licenced
techs, you can not go by their reports for the most part on the
units....period.
Goodman, is bottom barrel feeder junk no matter how you look at it.
Installed correctly, it will do its job....as will any unit. How fast it
breaks, is another matter.
Everyone of us in here have our favorite units...either to install, or
repair.
I love Trane units..when they break, the profit margin is huge compared to
others...
