Beware of the the amana Distinctions Brand that some of the furnace
seller and Direct Energy push. These are nothing more than than a
Goodman but they are charging higher prices. In fact the part numbers
and brochures are identical. If you want an Amana make sure the model#
they are selling starts with an a (Amana) and not a g (Goodman)
example:
AMV... Amana variable speed DC (Stainless steel)
GMV... Goodman variable speed DC (Aluminized steel)

Review:
I purchased a High End Amana Furnace last year in Toronto. The unit is a
total lemon, ignitor failed in the first month. Contractor told me that
they are very brittle and replaced, this year it would not start for
thesame reason and was replaced again. I no longer trust my Furnace and
am afraid to go to the cottage. The Lennox Mid-Eff I replaced worked for
18 years, no problems. I feel cheated as I paid a lot more for the Amana
over a new Lennox as it had a Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger. It turns
out what I really got was a Goodman, not an amana with no ss Heat
Exchanger. Don't buy this brand

We have a htm plus heating system, installed 9/1986, that also heats
our water. The unit has been very satisfactory. We have replace the
circulating pump 3 times, replaced the ingitor 5 times, had the
heating coil cleaned once, computer replaced and replaced the
thermostat. All this seems reasonable, the pump was the most
troublesome as it cracked at the circulating head twice. The pump
motor was ok and only the head replaced as it is fiberglass resin,
last time I had the whole pump replaced. the circulating fluid
(antifreeze) has been replaced 3 times, when the pump was repaired. It
is very efficient,especially the hot water system, it never runs out!
When should I consider replacing the burner?

I am in the process of replacing my 23 year old Amana Air Command 80
furnace. Wonderful service; just four unscheduled service calls over the
life of the unit. First one was related to intermittent ignition; Dealer
installed a separate ground wire to water pipe under warranty. Have had
just one igniter replaced. Someone on the thread said “Do not touch
igniter surfaces.” That and a good ground connection is the secret. Plus
a solid attachment so they do not vibrate. Also had to replace the
controller in the a/c unit.
The reason for current replacement is intermittent furnace ignition; the main gas valve is faulty, it does not supply enough gas pressure to support ignition. Good pressure at the inlet but below spec pressure at the burner. It has been adjusted to its highest setting but it is still intermittent. I have rust from A/C condensation in the A coil pan and the plenum. The humidifier needs to be replaced. It just seems that after 23 years my luck will finally run out. The unit was serviced by the installing dealer every fall, probably another reason that the unit performed so well.
The original dealer is now a Trane and Rheem Dealer. I will let him talk but I am seriously looking for a local Amana Dealer to give me an estimate. I have read a number of Trane and Rheem reviews; they left me confused. People either liked them very much or disliked them very much; no middle ground. The same seems to be somewhat true for the Amana products.

I have been installing hvac for over 17 years, the one thing I learned
is, The most important day in the life of a heating and cooling system
is the day it is installed. If you pick the lowest price bid, you will
get what you pay for.

Review:
We bought this furnace and I can tell you that our gas bill dropped
40%!!! this furnace with all the rebates and government inscentives paid
itself in the first year. it is so quiet that you actually have to go in
the basement to make sure that it is running it si the new kind ii stage
variable dc brushless motor. absoultely no issues with it and it is even
rated no1 on consumer reports among all the hi thech brands. we live in
canada wher winters are hars, and this baby is just cruising on top of
it it has lifetime unit replacement warranty!!! Thank you Amana for
thinking of end user first!!

Review:
We had our Amana furnace installed by a certfied contractor (we did not
go with the low bidder). In 6 years we have had no issues at all with
this furnace. We do have it cleaned and checked annualy and make sure to
change the filter every other month. It has been a superior furnace for
us....our previous furnace was a Lennox model, which even though only
about 10 years old, seemed to break down every winter. We would
recommend Amana with flying colors.

Review:
To all the consumers out there on the other side of the fence. I have
serviced every brand for 15 yrs. Amana ranks high on my scale as far as
warranty and quality. The most important thing for any brand is the
installation the technicians doing the work,is the duct work matched
corectly is the setup/dip settings right,is the t,stat right and
programmed correct.There are endless factors and variables that are
encountered but by far 99% of the time the equipment has premature
failures it's the install not the equipment. The problem is you as a
consumer and most often the guy out on your equipment doesn't either. Do
your research on the contractor and the actual techs on your job first
then pick your equipment and most times you can be happy with almost all
brands.High ball heat pump specialist are far and few between so be very
carefull the whole he who bids the least gets the work cost your butt in
the end. Darrell Love Snyder Air Cond. Jacksonville Fl.
