R22 is enormously expensive but I will buy that crap on the black market before replacing that unit.

This is what I do. Locally, people charge out the arse. Found a reputable online company out of Arizona that charges half.

I did tell the doctors not to buy those fricking super efficient expensive pos the first time. They went back with Goodmans etc and they are have already outlasted the original ones for half the cost

You got robbed. Even if it was the entire system. If it was only the condensers, you got really, really robbed.

Goodman has a bad rep because you can actually buy the smaller split systems on Amazon. Now you have had Johnny thinks he can fix it all installing his own system and then it has issues. So when we're constantly fixing Goodman we start thinking they're junk, but it's typically due to improper installation
