"Janitrol Good for Me"
Had Janitrol for 13 years and never had a problem. They say it is all in the installation and installing an inexpensive unit correctly apparently can do better than an expensive bad install.

"Janitrol Air Condition unit"
I purchased this house in 2006 with a 3 ton Janitrol. I have noticed that then the temperature reached about 74 in the summer the a/c doesn't cut off but temp slowly starts to rise inside. Will not kick off until around midnight after it has finally cooled the house back down. It's been serviced and I have been told adequate cool air is coming out at the check points, freon has been added but there's never a change. Previous owner had a very large great room added on upstairs which took the total square footage to approximately 1800 feet. Is it possible a 3 ton is not enough?

"MISSY R."
3 years ago I bought a one year old house with with dual ac, (janitrol) within the first 2 months the upstairs compressor stopped working and had to be replaced it was only 1 year old, then a few months later more repairs, since I have lived in this house every summer the ac has to be repaired 3 or 4 times a summer, I just found out today my upstairs ac is not working again I am so frustrated, I lived im my old house for 9 years had a carrier and never even had it serviced or had any problems.

"Janitrol short life"
I have had this unit a little over 5 years but have moved out of the house for a year and a half while it was for sale. So the unit is actually about 4 years old and needs about $1800.00 in repairs. Never had a unit fail in such a short time. I would definitely not recommend it.

"JANITROL THE WORST AC UNIT EVER"
I have had this unit for only 5 years and all I get is a bunch of "hot air" when it comes to quality of this unit. My AC has had to have at 3 or 4 repair or diagnostics. Take my advice.... Spend more money for a better unit. I am

"customer"
I have had my unit for 11 years and have had 2 service calls. 1 for a heat exchanger and 1 for a capacitor. Today my blower failed to come on so I have no air condition tonight.

"UNK"
Have owned the Janitrol central A/C units (upstairs and down) for just under two years and have had four service calls. All four have been to recharge the unit - it kept leaking freon and three different A/C repair companies couldn't find the leak. Finally, $260 later (labor costs), the leak was discovered to be the result of faulty factory braising at the condenser/discharge line junction. I would not recommend this brand to anyone.

"janitrol ac"
Biggest piece of junk ever. Was installed new in my house in 1996. The longest it has gone without needing work is about 5 months, compressor replaced after five years, constant service calls to keep biggest of junk somewhat running. Today found out it needs yet another compressor but advised to change the entire heat pump at the bargain price of $4000.00. Do not ever buy something with the word Janitrol on it. There is a reason you can't find Janitrol on the web, they are ashamed of their biggest piece of junk!!!!!!

The compressor went bad on my unit in about six years. I live in Denver, CO so I didn't even have to use the unit very much in a year's time.

It is interesting to her about these reviews that are so poor, I've had a Janitrol heating and air conditioning units put in on a recommendation and have had great success with both, no problems in at least 8 years.
