"leaking furnace, very unhappy!"
I have a Coleman furnace that leaks water when running. I have model number tm9v080b12mp11a. The leak appears to be coming from the condensate pan, which means there may be a crack at the bottom somewhere. The leak has been ongoing for approaching a year, and my metal components are all rusted out! This is a brand new furnace too. Needless to say, I'm unhappy about Coleman furnaces! It is made by Johnson Controls, and is basically the same as York.

"JUNK FURNACE"
I live in a double wide mobile home-my husband and I purchased it brand new in 2002- 4 days ago the furnace went out-when I called "the furnace guy" to look at it they told me - they could not fix it as there were 3 very large and deep cracks in the wall of the furnace, and it has been leaking carbon monoxide gas, and if they did try to fix it-it would catch the insullation on fire. they showed me these large cracks, and also informed me that the furnace was too large for this mobile home- another reason why it was not efficient! When I called coleman with this information-they told me that the warranty of that model was expired last year-and it was not thier problem. lesson do not ever buy a coleman furnace!

"Just Installed on 1-13-2012"
I have not had the furnace long enough to complain. It is very quiet. I have a full 10 years parts and labor so am not worried about repairs. I have 2 years to decide if I am happy with it. If I am not I can get it replaced for free. Time will tell. I have heard horror stories about every brand so this was a hard decision to make. We had a Goodman that only lasted 6 years with no warranty left. It sounded like a 747! Was thinking about an Amana but decided against them due to their affiliation with Goodman. Coleman is made by Johnson Controls and is basically the same as a York. From what I have heard a good company with good products.

"I wish i had not bought this Coleman Furnace"
I wish I had known about this site before I purchased, or done any research, but I was blinded by the cheap cost...now I know why it was cheap. I bought the fc9c080c16up11a model (part of the Echelon 9c series) 3 years ago and have had 5 service appointments on it already. I live in Ottawa Canada, and when this thing fails (which is surprisingly often) you wake up in the cold. I have had problems with pressure switches, and even had the mother-board replaced. I wish I had not bought this Coleman furnace. I would never buy another Coleman again.

"Night Mare Heating"
I have had this Night Mare Coleman Furnace Model # DGAA056BDT* for 3 nights and it is so noisy and loud I can't sleep . Comes on and off every hour. Blows warm air instead of Hot. I turned it off for the night and in the morning it took 3 hours for the temperature to rise 10 degrees. I am really disappointed in this furnace. I am going to have my old one replaced.

"At least one repair a season"
Condensate tank fails by design. Doesn't everyone know that you put a drain at the lowest point of water collection? Apparently not Coleman. They decided to leave 1 inch of water standing in the bottom of the condensate tank at all times. There is also a plastic weld down the middle of the tank and it leaked after just 2 Seattle "winters". Hey Coleman: when you're welding the two halves together, if you see bubbles at the weld line it means it will fail prematurely! (Dry your plastics before welding--they have absorbed too much water from the air!) The "under warranty" part cost me $180 to have installed. Bubbles at the weld line on this one, too. I expect it will fail in 2 years or less. I wish I had never purchased this furnace.

"Real Junk"
I have this piece of junk called a Coleman furnace. First year: within 4 months had to have the repairman come. Thank God it was still under warranty. It has always made loud noises. I asked the serviceman why, and he stated "You have an money pit. You should have bought yourself an better name brand. Now it needs a circuit board -- that thing fried for no reason." I will never buy another Coleman furnace again nor will advise anyone too. You can't buy any parts -- they're only sold to dealers. (Unless on eBay and the part is new. Less than $100.00 on eBay I can put it in myself.) The furnace is made so cheaply and simply put together the serviceman wants $200.00 for the same part also wants his $50.00 service call that's without labor. Coleman has to know it's pure junk. They are just sticking it too us. All of the parts are made in China -- they only put their name on it to have everyone believe they are getting quality merchandise. Forget it! Unitary Products Group you have to know it's nothing more than a money maker for your company due to the selling of useless parts. I now have to be late on some bills so I will not freeze this week. We are going to have snow on Sunday and the part won't come in til Monday! Hope my pipes will not freeze. Thanks for nothing Coleman.

"Furnace Is Junk"
This Coleman DGAA077BDT* furnace was a replacement for a 21 year old Intertherm. Soon after the contractor installed the furnace we started having problems. At the beginning of every heating season from 2005 until present, we have had to replace pressure switches and ignitors. The outer doors have plastic holders that have been broken by service men removing doors. The filters do not stay in place when you replace them. This heating season, another ignitor and pressure switch problem and then the contractor discovered a 4 inch crack in the heat exchanger. The contractor himself called the unit "a lousey lemon which should be replaced by the factory" I have written to Coleman Heating and Cooling 3 different times about the furnace and have never received a response. The contractor and the distributor both claim to have been fighting with Coleman for a replacement, but to no avail. They finally replaced the heat exchanger, but wanted $890 labor to install. Told them we couldn't afford that so they "reduced" it to $400. We are in our 80's on social security and can't afford this kind of ripoff. Finally hired a different contractor and he has the furnace running at present. Of course this cost us another service call and parts. Coleman should be banned from making these kinds of products.

"coleman heaters not dependable"
The control board failed so far 3 times, then the drive motor, then a door switch went out, then the door panels fall off. I have spent more money fixing the heater than I did having it installed. Don't recommend its noisy motor wakes me up, bumps my whole attic every time it starts. Never again will I buy this Coleman brand. Always at worst time and have to order parts so you decide.
