This company is offering Goodman A/C + Honeywell programmable thermostat + UV filter + Honeywell humidifier for around $2799.00 which sounds pretty good.

Has anyone heard of this company, or better yet, used them and love them?! :)

Goodman is the Kia of the auto industry!! Why do you need a UV filter?? The Honeywell programmable thermostat is a great idea and the Humidifier, depending on which one they install is okay.

I know the owners: very nice people who seem to have the highest ideals and standards towards their company.

Goodman is among the best value in the industry. I recommend and install their equipment.

UV lights are sound in principle, but no one has been able to convince me of their value.

My Indoor Air Quality preferences are a good media filter, humidifier, and an ERV. That's the system I put in my house thus the one I recommend.

Wow, Goodman makes Kia. I thought they were bought out by Hyundai, Kia that is not Goodman.
Or, did you mean Kia makes Goodman.
What a foolish statement.
Goodman has been making air conditioning and HVAC products for years. They manufacture for many many other brands, many "house" brands, as well as Franklin, Janitrol and Amana.

I had Goodman A/C in my in my last home, although, the unit never gave me problems, it was very very loud. The neighbours actually used to comment on how loud it was.

I just had a 3 tonne Rheem (14 seer) installed about 2 weeks ago in my current home and paid $2300.

Thanks!

It was either Goodman or Keep-Rite, and Goodman had a better warranty. Any opinions on Keep-Rite?

Also, is it weird for a sales rep to come to the home to make this sale and take a deposit? Do people go to stores for this sort of thing or is a home visit normal?

This is a very good deal, would you mind sharing the details, looking for 2 ton.

Thanks

Installing a central air conditioner is a home renovation. Any reputable contractor will have to actually see the job before issuing a written quote. During the home visit, the contractor salesperson determines all installation factors, location of outside unit, and makes notes of things like dogs, fences, etc. The bigger value is to the homeowner where things like Indoor Air Quality, two stage compressors, warranties, service requirements, and payment options can be explained.

Hmm, even on a new build (as yet not complete)?

I used Royal Comfort in Mississauga. They were running a promotion in March - $500 off on Rheem and $200 off in Lennox.

I found there prices very competetive and we had no problem with the installation.

Of course! It's a complimentary service so why not take advantage of it? You're going to spend at least a couple grand so why not listen to options, learn about the contractor you are inviting into your home, consider improving the Indoor Air Quality in your house. If you treat this purchase like a commodity that's probably the level of value you're going to get.

Goodman is one of the largest hvac manufacturers in the US. Several years ago their r&d started lagging, and quality started really going downhill. Goodman realized this. Rather than spending a huge amount of money to do their own r&d and rebuild internally, they bought Amana, a small HVAC company with a really good track record and quality manufacturing process. They've since incorporated Amana's knowledge / quality into their own products.
