Goodman is the cost-effective air conditioner manufacturer in the market. When people are on a budget during replacement, I always suggest Goodman systems. A complete Goodman system costs from around $6,000 to $10,000, the actual cost being dependent on things like SEER2 rating, size, dealer, and other installation-related costs.
It’s a pretty good deal considering the reliability and functionality you get. At this price point, it is actually the best deal. To clear up any confusion about the cost of a new system, I’ll share and compare Goodman system costs in this post.
| TL;DR Depending on your system size and type, Goodman HVAC system costs range from $5,867 to $9,149. |
Goodman HVAC System Cost at a Glance
| System Type | System Sizes | Price Range |
| Goodman Electric AC System | 1.5 to 5 tons | $5,876–$8,250 |
| Goodman Heat Pump System | 1.5 to 5 tons | $6,237–$9,149 |
| Goodman Gas Furnace System | 2 to 5 tons | $6,700–$7,700 |
All of these price ranges are for standard 15.2 SEER2 systems (the most popular one from Goodman buyers). However, the price still varies because of differences in system capacity and configuration.
If you’re comparing complete systems and want recommendations based on your home rather than generic sizing charts, our HVAC Services in Dallas team can help you evaluate the best option.
Goodman Electric AC System Cost
A Goodman electric AC system costs around $5,876-$8,250. These sorts of systems have a Goodman outdoor air conditioner with a compatible indoor air handler. Electric heating kits provide the necessary heating you need.
Here’s a full breakdown depending on the size:
| System Size | Price |
| 1.5 ton | $5,876 |
| 2 ton | $6,007 |
| 2.5 ton | $6,185 |
| 3 ton | $6,530 |
| 3.5 ton | $6,857 |
| 4 ton | $7,438 |
| 5 ton | $8,250 |
It’s natural that the price generally increases with size. A higher capacity system needs larger components to give you the necessary cooling. For example, our Goodman 3 Ton 15.2 SEER2 Electric System is currently listed at $6,530, which is lower than the 5-ton variant. However, a higher price doesn’t mean a better system in this case, so never choose sizes based on the price alone.
Your size requirement should come from the load calculation of your home. A 5-ton system isn’t automatically better than a 3-ton system. Even if you purchase a bigger size, the wasted energy will feel like a money pit.
Goodman Heat Pump System Cost
A Goodman heat pump system costs from $6,237 to $9,149. Unlike the conventional AC-furnace combination, heat pump systems provide both heating and cooling with one heat pump. Plus, it contains air handlers and additional heating kits.
Here’s a breakdown of Goodman heat pump prices based on their size:
| System Size | Price |
| 1.5 ton | $6,237 |
| 2 ton | $6,306 |
| 2.5 ton | $6,893 |
| 3 ton | $7,251 |
| 3.5 ton | $7,476 |
| 4 ton | $8,141 |
| 5 ton | $9,149 |
The heat pump is an attractive option for electric comfort with low environmental impact. However, the best choice depends on your existing condition, fuel sources, and needs. In high usage cases, the high price gets offset with efficient operation throughout the lifetime.
Goodman Gas Furnace and AC System Cost
A Goodman gas system costs $6,700 to $7,700. It generally combines an AC condenser, a gas furnace, and an air handler.
Here’s a price breakdown for the size with a combination of a 15.2 SEER2 air conditioner and an 80% AFUE furnace:
| System Size | Gas Furnace | Price |
| 2 ton | 60,000 BTU | $6,700 |
| 2.5 ton | 60,000 BTU | $6,700 |
| 3 ton | 60,000 BTU | $7,700 |
| 3.5 ton | 80,000 BTU | $7,700 |
| 4 ton | 80,000 BTU | $7,700 |
| 5 ton | 100,000 BTU | $7,700 |
Keep in mind that the right furnace size isn’t dependent on the AC’s tonnage. A home’s heating and cooling requirements can be totally different. For example, the Goodman 3 Ton 15.2 SEER2 Gas System combines a 60,000 BTU furnace, but you may need a different BTU for your home.
Get a professional to do the individual load calculations to get the exact BTU capacity and tonnage. You wouldn’t want to deal with another furnace replacement cost once you already purchase a complete system that has the wrong furnace.
What Affects Goodman HVAC System Cost?
We have mentioned different prices for different HVAC system types. However, it isn’t the only factor that changes the cost. Two different homeowners can have two different AC replacement costs for the same system when other factors don’t align. The price of a Goodman HVAC system depends on:
System Type
An electric AC system, a heat pump, and a gas furnace system each have different equipment configurations.
- An electric AC system has an AC, an air handler, and a heating kit
- A heat pump system has a heat pump, an air handler, and a heating kit
- A gas system has an AC, a gas furnace, and an air handler
Since the components in each system are different, the price ranges are also different.
System Size
Larger systems need to have larger components to provide for a bigger space, so the cost to replace a 4-ton system is naturally higher than replacing a smaller system. Naturally, larger components cost more. That doesn’t mean you can buy a larger system to get more capacity or a smaller system to cut costs. Get the actual system size if you want to avoid unnecessary costs further down the line.
SEER2 Efficiency
SEER2 is the measurement of efficiency for air conditioners and heat pumps. The higher the rating, the more efficient your system is. So, like any other manufacturer, Goodman’s price rises with higher efficiency.
There’s another dimension to it. Usually, SEER2 ratings aren’t the only difference between two models. Manufacturers make different efficiency models for different tiers with varying additional features. All the additions usually end up with a bigger sticker price.
Installation Requirement
Most contractors separate the installation cost from the sticker cost. Depending on your home and the system you want, you need different approaches for installation. Besides the equipment itself, the cost of an air conditioner with installation depends on labor, duct modifications, electrical work, and other site-specific requirements.
A straightforward installation costs less with few modifications, and complex installations can bump the upfront price with additional labor.
Goodman HVAC System Cost vs. AC Unit Cost
Goodman’s price can be different on how you approach your system. A standalone unit costs less, and a complete system costs more.
A standalone air conditioning system is just the outdoor condenser, a furnace, or just the heat pump. A complete system usually has a matching heating and cooling unit combination. So, you are getting different standalone units with a complete system.
Therefore, a price advertised for a standalone Goodman AC unit should not be directly compared with the price of a complete Goodman HVAC system. When comparing quotes, check exactly what is included.
Is a Goodman HVAC System Worth the Cost?
Goodman is a value-focused HVAC brand. The price is already lower when you compare it with premium systems like Trane. And its popularity comes from the reliability it provides at its price point.
A Goodman HVAC system is worth considering if you want:
- A complete replacement system
- A competitive upfront price
- A modern 15.2 SEER2 system
- Multiple system types and sizes
- The option to choose between electric, heat pump, and gas heating configurations
The quality of the installation is also important. With a good installation, a Goodman unit can outperform an incorrectly-sized or poorly-installed unit.
Goodman HVAC System vs. Trane: Which Should You Choose?
Goodman and Trane are at the two ends of the spectrum when you are replacing your HVAC system. On one hand, Goodman has the lower upfront price with solid performance. However, Trane offers different features, efficiency levels, or equipment configurations
However, don’t decide on the brand name only. When comparing a Trane and Goodman system, consider:
- Total installed cost
- SEER2 rating
- System type
- Equipment features
- Warranty coverage
- Installation quality
- Expected operating costs
Depending on your preference for these points, you can easily choose the right brand.
How to Choose the Right Goodman HVAC System
Goodman buyers are generally concerned with price. However, you don’t want to get stuck with a poor-performing system. If you made a replacement decision from the repair vs replacement dilemma, getting the right system involves a few steps.
1. Determine the Right Size
The correct tonnage depends on your cooling load. You can get your home’s actual cooling loads with a Manual J or other ACCA-certified calculations. Don’t rely on HVAC tonnage based on your home’s size either.
2. Choose the Right Type
You have three types to choose from. For example, A gas system is more suitable if you have a natural gas line, and the gas is cheaper than electricity where you live.
3. Compare Complete System Prices
Make sure you are comparing similar equipment packages. Get multiple quotes if needed. Don’t compare a complete system with a standalone condenser or heat pump. Estimating your furnace installation cost before comparing systems can help you set a more realistic budget.
4. Consider Long-Term Operating Cost
Your unit’s cost isn’t limited to just the upfront price. The ongoing comfort costs you on your electricity (and maintenance) bills. Usually, higher-priced equipment costs less over a long time horizon with better efficiency and features. Evaluate how much you want to save upfront and how much you want to save on the running cost.
If upfront cost is your biggest concern, contractors like Green Leaf Air offer excellent financing options to spread out your investment.
5. Consider Installation Quality
Proper installation affects system performance, comfort, and reliability. Get professional help from an experienced contractor. Check out their credentials and experience. Make sure your contractor installs your equipment according to the manufacturer’s requirements.
