What Garland Homeowners Are Dealing With

Garland's housing stock is predominantly 1960s through 1980s brick ranch homes — single-story, 1,200 to 2,000 square feet, slab foundations, with ductwork in the attic. These are solid, well-built homes. The HVAC systems inside them are a different story.

Many Garland homes are running equipment that is 15 to 25 years old. Some are on their original system. Others are on a second-generation replacement — a 10 to 13 SEER single-stage unit. These systems work. They cool the house. But the electric bill every summer reflects that inefficiency in hard dollars.

The Goodman variable-speed inverter is the answer for most Garland homes. It delivers genuine inverter technology at the most accessible equipment cost on the market.

The Electric Bill Relief That Matters Most

For a Garland family running a 10 to 14 SEER single-stage system through a six-month cooling season, the AC is the largest line item on the electric bill from May through October. The jump to a Goodman inverter rated at 16 to 18 SEER2 delivers immediate, measurable relief.

The savings come from two places. First, the inverter compressor adjusts its speed to match what the house actually needs at any given moment. Running at partial speed uses substantially less electricity than cycling at full capacity.

Second, a single-stage system draws its highest current during compressor startup — 3 to 6 times the normal running amperage. The Goodman inverter, running continuously at moderate speed, eliminates almost all of those expensive startup events.

For Garland homes making the jump from 10-12 SEER to 16-18 SEER2, the cooling portion of the electric bill can drop by 35% to 45%.

R-22 Holdouts: The Repair Trap Ends Here

Garland has a higher percentage of homes still running on R-22 refrigerant than most DFW suburbs. R-22 production ended in 2020, and the remaining supply is reclaimed or stockpiled. Current prices for R-22 are several times what they were a decade ago, and they will only go up.

The Goodman inverter runs on R-32, a current-generation refrigerant that is actively manufactured and widely available. Moving to this system eliminates the R-22 recharge cost permanently.

Why the House Feels Clammy — and How the Inverter Fixes It

The problem is humidity, and it is caused by how the single-stage system operates. The Goodman inverter running at 40% to 50% capacity keeps the evaporator coil cold and wet for hours at a time. Indoor humidity drops from the 58% to 65% range that makes a house feel clammy down to 45% to 50% — the range where 76 degrees actually feels comfortable.

Side-Discharge Design for Garland Side Yards

Garland ranch homes typically have narrow side yards — 3 to 5 feet between the house wall and the fence line. The Goodman inverter uses a side-discharge condenser design. The exhaust air exits horizontally rather than vertically, which allows for installation configurations that direct airflow away from windows and living spaces.

The Lifetime Compressor Warranty

The Goodman inverter carries a lifetime compressor warranty for the original homeowner. The inverter compressor technology in the Goodman unit is the same Daikin-engineered platform used across the Daikin product family, built at Daikin's manufacturing facility in Texas.

The Heat Pump Option: GZV6S Dual-Fuel

Garland homeowners who want to reduce gas heating costs on top of electric bill savings should consider the Goodman GZV6S dual-fuel heat pump. This system pairs the Goodman heat pump outdoor unit with the existing gas furnace. During mild winter weather, the heat pump heats the home using electricity at 2 to 3 times the efficiency of gas combustion. When temperatures drop below the heat pump's efficient range, the system switches to the gas furnace automatically.

Stop Paying to Keep an Old System Running

If your Garland home is running an aging single-stage system — whether it is an R-22 holdout or a 13 SEER unit from the mid-2000s — Truficient can show you what a properly sized Goodman inverter changes.
