Review:
Builder installed this piece of junk. We've paid for repairs of
several design defects. There was a product safety recall on this unit
that the company never informed us about. When it failed, the secret
recall was over, and we had to pay for the repairs. This defect could
have killed us!

Review:
The inducer went bad after just 1 yr. and again just 2 years ago. At
over $300 each. Then every couple years the pilot light hole gets
plugged and needs to be cleaned out at over $175 a time. The serviceman
says there should be a filter preventing that but its not doing its job.
All in all it was a bad choice of furnaces.

Review:
I have had to replace 4 boards, two blower motors and the drain system
fouls up all the time. If someone tries to sell you one of these pieces
of junk run or kick the bum out. I have paid more in repair calls than
the unit originally cost.

Review:
Heat exchanger went out. It was still under warranty but would cost 500$
to install it. Dealer told me that they pressed the clam shell together
at the factory wrong on all the units. If that’s the case, they should
fix their screw up not at the cost of their customer. They will surely
be out of business soon if that’s the way they operate.

Darn noisy. Even when wired for the lowest speed fan setting, it wakes
me up at night.

Review:
I put in a Tempstar high efficiency 4 years ago. Its been working ok for me so far with the only problems being a noisy inducer motor which I replaced and a bad Honeywell smart valve.
Even thought the furnace has worked good so far. I have to say that I'm somewhat disappointed in Tempstars choice to use a Honeywell smart valve. Instead of using just a HSI, or a Pilot. Tempstar decided it would be a good Idea to use both. I can almost bet that this is where the next problem will be.

Review:
Tempstar DC90 - Replaced the igniter, blower, wiring. Now the burner looks to be uneven and has burnt the platic mesh at the top. 3 calls in the last 5 winters. Never again. Must go looking for a new furnace this summer.

I'm very happy with the price. Im also happy with the warranty as I have had two problems in the last year.
The high-low switch had to be replaced recently.
