Review:
We live in Minnesota and bought a new 95% Amana Variable Speed furnace
with matching heat pump/air conditioner 2 yrs ago. With estimated
savings of 45% on our heating and cooling bills. We didnt get 45%
savings. Our savings have been over 55%!!! This system is so quiet we
wondered at first if it was even running. Great equipment with proper
installation. Highest recommendation from our family.

Review:
We had an Amana amv9 furnace installed in our cabin when it was built.
The furnace has never operated properly. When it works at all, it goes
through many start cycles before it finally lights. The room temperature
gets 10 to 15 degrees below the thermostat setting as it does this. Three different igniters have failed completely, and the entire control board has also been replaced. The furnace now does not work at all. Goodman (who bought the Amana brand) doesn't care. They did respond to a letter, but denied any responsibility. They will not even exchange parts under warranty unless they are installed by a licensed contractor, thus maximizing our expenditures on a furnace that simply will not work.

Review:
I am an HVAC contractor and we carry the Amana Brand as well as many
others. For those on here that are complaining about Amana
refrigerators, microwaves, window units, etc. These products are not
built by Goodman Company (manufacturer of Amana HVAC). The Maytag company
produces all of the appliances and just leases the Amana name to the
Goodman company so your gripes are misdirected. The biggest fault on
here is with the quality of the installation. Get referrals from your
friends and family, call the bbb, or check out Angies list before you
deal with a contractor. Make sure your contractor spends some time with
you to really find out if there are any problem areas in your home
before they even go into the basement to look at your existing system.
If a guy just comes in, heads for the basement and tells you that this
is what you need, run away fast. It may be a cheaper price, but you get
what you pay for. We have been around for over 25 years and have dealt
with pretty much every product out there. Amana has shown to be a
superior product in todays market. Their warranties are unbeatable and
overall the quality is excellent. You can't always believe what you read
on the internet. For every 10 reviews you read bashing a product, you can
find 10 more praising it. It all comes down to do your homework, and
find a reputable dealer to work with.

Review:
I replaced a 25 year old Payne Gas Furnace whose "a" coil had been
slammed with dust and dirt from the previous home owner that did not
install the air filters properly. The furnace sits on a platform in the
garage - and there is only 72 inches total for the furnace, including
the a coil. Amana appears at this time to be the only manufacturer that
makes a 33" high gas furnace - the 40" units just would not fit.... So
far, so good. The stainless steel unit (Million Hour Heat Exchanger) has
run reliably - and the contractor was willing to use the existing
condenser (Also Payne) that had been installed in 2005 - that cut the
project cost by at least $3,500.00. Since the "a" coil can take the new
r-410a if the external expansion valve is replaced along with the
condenser. I purchased the 80% efficient unit because I did not want to
have to go 2 stories with new exhaust ducting - and the unit shares the
exhaust ducting with the water heater. Very happy thus far.

Review:
After having a reputable HVAC company install my Amana 4 years ago, I've
had nothing but problems. It has always gotten repaired quickly but it
has been problem after problem. No fault in the install according to
other companies that have looked at it. More than one has said, "must
have been built on a Friday". Just my luck....I plan on having a
different brand installed as soon as I can.

Review:
Purchased my 2 ton unit last April (2009). Very loud, horrible sounding
and blows newspapers on the floor and artificial flowers askew! Right
after it was installed, it required 2 service calls to change the blower
settings.....but still noisy when it comes on. It will wake you up!! I'm
sleeping on the couch now because the unit is outside my bedroom window!
I just had another service call because it's not cooling lower than 81.
Unacceptable!!! I would like to blow this unit up, if I didn't still owe
so much on it!!!

Review:
Please review the model number of my Amana furnace. The serial number
given gse050dn3c is really close to the recall model. I want to verify
that you have a model number like mine, making it offical and two is my
model number on the recall list. Please advise.

Review:
After only 40 months, my Amana high efficiency furnace crapped out. A weekend in the cold and $450 later, it now has a new circuit board and a
pressure switch. These components should not fail after that time. The
reason they fail is because they are Chinese-made junk. Those people
have no quality control and Amana is greedy enough to buy their cheap
crap. I am an electrical engineer and will always specify components
made anywhere but China.

Review:
Hi! This unit is only 7 years, and am very upset. The warranty for
this unit is only 5 years. This kind of appliance should have at least
15 years warranty. Amana should have free techician help, to advice the customer on what could be the problem and if it is a part, how much would it cost, etc. to avoid technician charging you more than they should charge. Like me, they changed a piece only to get a seal that comes with the new piece, and glue all around. Total cost for me is 500.00, only because I don't know much about it.

Review:
The trouble started in 2009 and cost me $1,115. As I write this, I am
quite certain after reading several other Amana reviews, that I am not
alone in my dissatisfaction with my gcva two stage variable speed gas
furnace. Imagine, only 8 years old and the whole thing is
malfunctioning. So each morning, I climb down in the crawl space and hit
the reset to get the unit to heat up. I refuse to give the total comfort
contractor another dime. I'm stuck in Story, Wyoming.
