Review:
Through the years I've seen 3 igniters go, a control module for the blower and just recently the vent blower and needed a complete cleaning due to
the soot build-up in the furnace.....not satisfied whatsoever.

Review:
This furnace is a High Efficiency one installed about 25 years ago.
I have had no real problems with it although I do remember one
repair about 10 years ago. I think it is a good furnace although I
admit it does tend to come on and off a lot. Probably because it is
not a two stage.
I am in the same position as other readers who would like to take advantage of the rebates beng offered but am not sure if the cost will be equal to the amount of money I might save.
Perhaps it is better to stay with the older stuff as they say new equipment is not made like it was in the old days.

Review:
I have had this olson furnace for 15 years no problems at all just
change the filter check the belt. This year we had a fire in our house
(not related to furnace) after all was said and done the furnace
remained, blackened but still worked flawlessly. The technician that
checked it said it is in perfect condition, only due to the smell of
smoke we had to replace it . Hope my new olsen is as good.

Review:
My furnace is the original installed when the home was built in 1970. I
was told, when I bought the house in August 2002, that the 'old girl'
was still running well but could go at any time. It's still running
(well)and I've done no maintenance to it whatsoever, except to have it
inspected and the ducts cleaned. I was thinking of installing a newer
more efficient one, but in looking at the costs and hearing stories of
newer models not always working so well, I may just wait until this one
just gives out. I just hope that's not during a severely cold snap in
mid-winter.

Review:
My originally installed, with the house, furnace is still going strong
mechanically, but I fear for efficiency etc. I'm finding it harder and
harder to keep my house warm. Its a large bungalow with a walk-out
basement and both floors are occupied by residents year-round. This is a
one zone house!! As far as reliability goes, this thing has been top
notch, mind you it runs lot but it works?? I've replaced only a fan
motor in 29 years. Now, I want to replace the furnace with a
newer(better?) model. I'm lacking comfort... im hot and i'm cold,
repeatedly all winter long. Can someone make a recommendation as to what
I should do?

Review:
I have never liked this furnace, we were told it is very efficient. All
I can say it runs an awful lot,it comes on for about 30 sec. and turns
off then on again for a few minutes, then off, it is very annoying, and
my house is cold all winter even when I have it set on 72 degrees. The
air coming from the registers is cool, and I can't see how that would
every make your house comfortable. The motor won't shut off a lot of
times, so we have to hit it on the side to make it shut off or come on.
I tried to get a replacement motor, but was told we have to go through a
licensed contractor to get one. My sons are perfectly able to install a
new motor. So I guess I will have to put out a bundle of money to
replace it. Never will by another Olsen.

Review:
This was an upgrade during the building of our house in 1991. Problems
have occurred almost yearly since the warrantee ended. Have had to
replace the exhaust blower motor, control module and numerous ignitors.
Every repairman has told me these furnaces are poorly made and nothing
but trouble. Never had a problem once in 15 years with the furnace in
our old house. Next furnace will not be an Olsen.

Review:
This mid-range, furnace installed in 2004. So far we have had no
problems. heating costs until this year for our smallish 4 bedroom
house, brick approx $1200- 1400. per year. This year we may expect it to
be $ 1800. I think that’s about as good as it gets.
