One common question most heat pump consumers ask is, what type of equipment/s is included in a Goodman heat pump installed today? Well, the total package includes a compressor or the motor unit designed for a more efficient operation, and air coil used for condensation which is larger than those in other equipments, a motor and a fan, and a heat exchanger.
The Goodman heat pumps use a refrigerant, a certain substance that helps in heat transfer. Refrigerants are usually in the form of gas and these cause condensation to occur whenever they are passing through the air coil. Most people already know about air/gas coil systems used in refrigerators. Similar refrigeration technology is applied in different Goodman heat pumps.
One of the greatest things about a Goodman heat pump is that it tends to be more efficient in terms of operation compared to other types of heat pumps. How could this happen? Because during the winter, the soil’s temperature is relatively warm. The geothermal heat pumps from Goodman have ground water or the ground as the main heat source. In contrast, the air source heat pump moves heat, using the cold outside air going inside, and it must perform harder in order to do this. Because of this great addition, Goodman brand products, including the Goodman heat pump product line was given the 2005 Innovation Award while its Goodman CLQ 14 SEER AC was voted as the “Best Buy” by Consumer’s Digest.
