"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.

"Is there life with a Coleman"
This furnace has required service every year because it won't go on. The installer has been in business for 25 years and told me Coleman furnaces are S___! In looking at the reviews, it looks like units over 10 years old work, but the newer ones not so well. Was Coleman bought out around that time? It used to be that Coleman was quality and didn't we all have their camping equipment. Why doesn't someone start a class action lawsuit for this junk. Most of the mobile home owners are seniors and can't afford to pay the service calls let alone replace it and with what - another Coleman?

"bad furnace"
We purchase a coleman furnace for our mobil home Nov.2008. It said it was quiet and it sounds like an airplane taking off in our front room. The reducer has gone out twice this month. It has cost us $323.00 for the part and install each time. We didn't even use it for the 1st year or so because the mobil we live in was a vacation home and is now a retirement home. If we knew it was just as noisey and a" break the bank" furnace on repairs we would have left the old one in. It at least ran.

"known 'bad' pressure switch"
Bought the furnace little over 3 years ago, have replaced the pressure switch a couple of times. The last time, the repairman knew it was part of the same batch of 'bad' switches but he showed my husband how to get it running again, its hit and miss, but when the temperature drops or the wind blows, we have to 'bang' on the switch to get it to work. Repairman said those switches were out-sourced out of the country... Would never ever ever by another Coleman.
