The award-winning AlumaFin7 evaporator coil provides an efficient option for installations in space-constrained homes. This 7mm all-aluminum coil helps optimize the heat transfer properties of refrigerant, and the multi-louvered fins are acid-etched to help drain water fast. These combined features help deliver enhanced airflow with minimal static pressure.
The award-winning ComfortBridge technology is the HVAC communicating system that is factory-installed inside select Goodman brand high-efficiency air handlers and gas furnaces. A system with ComfortBridge technology is designed to work with any 24-volt thermostat and helps the entire HVAC system operate cost-effectively at peak performance. Winning entries in the Dealer Design Awards were featured in the July 29, 2019 issue of The ACHR News, which is distributed nationally to over 32,000 HVACR contractors, wholesalers, and other industry professionals.
