"The worse unit-air and heat- EVER"
Here are the numbers on the Model..N8MSN0701412A Serial a104519709. This unit has been nothing but trouble since 2 months after installation. The air was not cooling. Finally they said there was a leak in a valve. Cost me $169 to have 4 pounds freon plus service call. Still not doing the job my 17 year old Heil, which was still in good working order however my son thought it best to replace the unit due to it's age. I now have a lemon tempstar. The heater just had 2 parts replaced which cost another $169. The heater works when it feels like it, it takes 3 or 4 efforts before the heater actually puts out heat. I rue the day I ever had this unit installed. Give me back my heil any day over this pile of junk.

"Runs Great"
Have a 2 stage 95% efficiency condensing Tempstar furnace, installed by self and careful old contractor. Gas bills dropped 25 to 30%, temperature in house much more even and comfortable at a lower thermostat setting. Has ran fine for 5 years, regular maintenance of condensing drain system, trap and line is a must with these units, watch for leaks etc. Also have a high quality electrostatic intake filter, which I clean regular, as well as the fan compartment. People probably put the cheapest filter they can find in a $3000 furnace no doubt, but not smart. This sort of care takes a few minutes now and then but pays off handsomely in maintenance bills.

"High Efficiency Condensing Gas Furnance"
Just replaced Lennox Furnace and ac unit with new TempStar High Efficiency Condensing Gas Furnace and Split System r-410a 3.5 ton with 4 ton n coil. Talk about a difference! Lower gas bill and electric bill! Very quiet unit and does a fantastic job over the old Lennox. Installer was great and was very meticulous in the installation. No wasted heat out the exhaust which is a 3 inch pvc pipe and new unit uses outside air through separate intake pvc pipe. The warranty...hands down the best I have ever seen.

"Garbage Furnace"
My Tempstar has been nothing but trouble from the start. Board replacements 3 , and bad fan eat up any savings you might realize from gas savings. Now the Secondary heat exchange is bad and will be covered after I buy a new one and pay labor and shipping which are very high.

"Tempstar furnace & heat pumps"
Have 2 Tempstar furnaces and heat pumps in our home...all bunch of junk. Built the home new and have problems with one or both every year. They also are noisy. I have a vacation home and have a Lennox heat pump and furnace, both units are 8 years old and I have never had a service call. Tempstar is junk period...save yourself money and grief insist on anything else. After 3 years one of the heat pumps went completely out...Tempstar would not stand behind the unit. Most recently a fan on the furnace went out.

"Our new FG9MAC hasnot worked and is 2 weeks old installer has no idea why"
We just had a 97% new model installed less than 2 weeks ago, and it has not worked properly yet. Right now it is not working at all. The installer has tried everything from cutting in a new return to replacing a breaker and a thermostat. The manufacturer has no answers, so the next step is to get a new motor and an ignition switch. We are freezing , but luckily have a fireplace. We had a perfectly old, working one but wanted an efficient one. Ha, we sure were stupid. Our installer said it was the best there is! I wish I had checked this site first.

"Not Feeling Good About This Thing"
Bought this thing about three months ago (Aug 2011) and spent $3600. October 28, 2011 furnace was not working. Needed new control board and service tech brought a new one, which also failed out of the box. Second one fixed the problem......UNTIL This morning 12/10/11 when furnace once again was not working. Checked my circuit box and breaker was tripped. Reset the breaker, but furnace still did not start. Service tech said the transformer blew, but did not know why, but has decided that the control board caused it. On his way to get yet another new control board. I told him to bring two! Not feeling very good about this purchase, even though I keep hearing how good they are. I think I got a lemon and intend to ask for a replacement as we have no confidence in the piece of crap we now have in our basement. You expect some problems with a furnace that is 10 years old and older, but a brand new one? Saw a review from a lady who has a new one and claims to be very satisfied even though she has had two service calls during the first year. Wonder how she will feel at the end of the year when the service part of the warranty expires? Two service calls in the first year is never a good sign. There are lemon laws for cars, do they have them for furnaces?

"International Comfort Products"
I have been installing Tempstar furnaces For over 20 years -- very good unit if installed properly. Sometimes people don't check temperature rise (the difference between heat & return air). It's posted on rating plates of all furnaces. If the unit runs too hot the heat exchangers fail. Others install high efficiency air filters also changing the temperature rise. I installed Carrier for approx. 10 years -- don't buy one Of those if uou use propane gas -- the heat exchangers only last 10 to 15 years. Tempstar may be owned by Carrier but it's not the same.
