Word of Mouth

Comments on HVAC-Talk message boards and heating contractor sites are occasionally critical regarding the Tempstar Furnaces:

  • Repairing the Tempstar fan blower motor is high-priced, according to one guest at the HVAC-Talk forums. A service tech agrees, stating that even the smallest or simplest change, which usually includes parts, labors, and other fees, can cost a bundle.
  • Another person at the HVAC-Talk forums stated that the outside condenser refuses to perform, and resetting doesn't do any good, suggesting poor wiring. Checking the wiring ahead of time saves headaches.
  • The Tempstar works half the time, says another guest at the HVAC-Talk forums. Letting the unit rest does not guarantee better ongoing performance either. This unit is unpredictable and erratic.
  • A service tech at HVAC-Talk forums states that a poor draft motor and faulty ignition can cause problems. Constant attention to the circuit board is a necessity; electrical design is questionable.

The Tempstar Smart Comfort VS80 Furnace can be adjusted for up-flow, down-flow, or horizontal air flow, depending on where the furnace is placed.
