"92% efficient 2 -stage variable speed blower"
I bought Ducane 2 stage furnace in 2005, it has a variable speed blower and 92% efficient, I keep air filters clean and I never had a service issue. The draft inducer motor is a little noisy when it comes on but the furnace performs properly.

"Good easy to install furance"
I needed to replaced my 25 yr old 80,000 60% furnace and recently purchased a Ducane downdraft 66,000 btu furnace from Alpine, including sheet metal and recommended thermostat. I did some basic installation research and completed the project in 7 hours. I was a bit concerned about setting the temp rise but found direction using you tube. The furnace runs extremely well and is relatively quiet considering that it's in a closet set up in a 3 bedroom ranch house. If you install it your self just take your time and research. It's very satisfying when it lights for the first time. Good luck.

"Great furnace"
I have been installing ducane furnaces since they came in our area youngstown ohio for 15 years and I love them. every bad comment about the gas furnace sounds like the customer never changes the filter,sized too big,blocked returns due to boxes and furniture blocking it,maintainance not done every year or not properly installed.in this day and age of electronics any furnace can have its problems.if a circut board is repeatly going out you have a feed back condition on the neutral line. we had a problem with a board that kept going out and traced it to a bad dehumidifier in the basement a motor winding was feeding back,also a bad flourescent light balllast could also do the same,one time a customer was a avid woodworker and we traced the feedback to a radial saw motor.anything with a motor can cause a feedback if it has a weak winding, like a washing machine, dryer you get the idea.when a inducer motor goes out a cause could be not enough pipe pitch back to the furnace or a blocked drain,pipe run too long or wrong size,sags in the pipe should b suppoted every 4 feet.just to let you know when you register your furnace on line you get a 10 year parts warranty.labor is still charged but we have about a 2% service issues with ducanes and there parts.about there parts they use honeywell witch is very easy to get parts for our supplier gets. special parts the ones that normally are not stocked in 1-2 days.we insall 75-100 ducanes a year. yes ducane had issues with a certain type of oil furnace that had design flaws but that furnace has been discontinued about 10 years ago.when ducane came out in the 50's they made oil furnaces for almost every manufactor with other brand names.their oil furnaces today are very reliable as long as they are set up with a combustion analyzer to set draft, co, o2,temp rise,etc.in closing any ducane is good as the person installing it and maintaining it every year,not just when it doesn't work.change your filter at least 2 times a year.

"works great, 10 years without problems!"
As for most mechanical systems, the single most important thing is to have it installed correctly! I have had my Ducane furnace for ten years now, I have it maintained professionally and have never had any problems. My heating guy said the only time these act up is if they are installed wrong... Just like any other furnace. The problem is people sell the furnace to Joe Shmoes like me and then they find the cheapest guys to install it, or worse yet... hack it in themselves. My son just had one installed and he could not be home so I did the home sitting detail for him while they did their jobs, I had no idea how many things had to be done just right or problems will result 1 to 5 years later. My previous home had a "Trane"... Nothing but trouble.

"AWESOME PRODUCT"
I have never had an issue. Most of the reviews on here stem from one thing, installer issues. No one can work on it? Who installed it? They should. I have had no issues with my brand new (2005) Ducane gas 50,000 btu updraft. It works flawlessly, year after year.

"Ducane Nat Gas Furnace and A/C Units"
I had a split-system installed a few months ago. Believe it or not, it was 70 degrees when installed, so we could cycle the a/C. It worked fine. Now, it's snowing 8-12 inches and blowing 50 mph, and we are toasty warm with even, steady, and efficient heat, even with their 80 AFUE units.
