"JANITROL/GOODMAN"
Furnace has been perfect with the exception of a control board that I damaged by having a water leak on the floor getting sucked into the blower section spraying the control card. $50 on e-bay. will buy another. 92+ condensing furnace if this one ever wears out.

"Janitrol 80+ Gas Furance"
In 23 years I only had to replace the stepdown transformer ($23.00) that supply power to the control board. Ever since its been working great, I would buy another one.

The furnace has been a constant problem. We have had to replace the mother board, all the flame out sensors the blower motor and now the heat exchanger has cracked and rendered the furnace inoperable. We will be replacing the furnace with anything but a Janitrol/Goodman.

"Janijunk"
My first janitrol was installed in 1990. It was terrible. It constantly had trouble igniting. My furnace technician was out at least 3 times a season to fix it. After the 5 year warranty was up, I demanded a new furnace. I got one at no charge and was thankful. However, the new one had the same problems! At my wits end, I hired a new furnace guy who was honest and found that the burners were defective and it was a consistent problem with the janitrol. He fought for me and with the company (they weren't initially cooperative and leave a lot to be desired in their customer service) and eventually it was fixed properly. That was 7 years ago and it's worked fine since but I will never have another Janitrol installed in my home again.

This furnace has been in my house for over 50 years and it is still working great. I bet this would be good advertising. All the plumbers say I should buy a new one, but why fix something that is not broken and it work great for 50+ years. If something does go wrong I would need to find someone with 50+ year old parts.

"Great Furnace\AC"
I have had a Janitrol Furnace in my house for over 14 years and never had a problem with it. In addition to having one for my personal use, I have installed many Janitrol furnaces\A/C's over the past 10 or so years. I have had a few call-backs, but Janitrol's (Goodman's) service was always satisfactory and they fixed the problem in a timely matter. I wouldn't hesitate one second at putting in a Janitrol (now Goodman) furnace.

I have had a lot of trouble with the flame sensor becoming dirty or corroded, which causes the furnace to fail to ignite. I have to clean the sensor 2-3 times each winter. Usually during the coldest days, of course.

"Janitrol downflow Furnace"
This Janitrol furnace was installed in my house in 1958 when it was built. We are still using it. We had a central a/c unit installed in it in 1977 from Sears and it is still in operation and doing well.

"Janitrol M-100"
We purchased our house about 4 years ago. I was a little concerned with the older furnace in the house & had a furnace inspection completed prior to purchasing. The contractor checked it out completely & said he couldn't find any problems & said that he has never had any heat exchanger problems with these models. I am assuming that the furnace is the original furnace & the house was built in 1965 (43 years). It looks like it was originally a propane furnace, & converted to natural gas when it became available. We haven't had any problems with it at all, but are considering upgrading to a new energy efficient model as the costs of natural gas continue to rise.
