Review:
Had this unit installed by a licensed amana dealer and was told I could
get the 10 yr amana labor contract for 179.00 . they lied ,according to
them its a paper work foul up,on amana s sales reps . side. according to
amana home office this contract isn't available on this unit. if I had
known this I would have used a different brand for half the price of
6,000. for a 5ton heat pump package unit.

Review:
I have installed about 75 of these units last year with the new 410a
refrigerant. We have had greater than 15% failure of the evap coil in
the first 12 months. 3 reversing valves which are a major pain. I hate
this junk. I can tell you with authority it is the Chinese parts they
used, and Chinese copper. Other brands have similar problems, with
Amana/Goodman it has been catastrophic. Do not install this stuff if you
can avoid it.

Junk, Junk, Junk. Have spent two thousand dollars in repairs in 3 years.
Nothing is ever under the 10 year warranty.

Review:
This is the second Amana heat pump I have owned. The first was absolute
garbage, ended up needing a new compressor. Never worked right after
this! Against my better judgement, I replaced it with another on advise
from a local Amana installer. This is the second, so far have had to replace the contactor three times in the last four years, a capacitor in the outside AC unit. The most recent episode has been the compressor requiring renewal! It is all very well them covering the compressor under warranty, but they should also include the labor cost for the work free! My advice is, you have a choice. Don't choose Amana heat pumps as they suck big time!

Review:
Although this Amana Heat Pump has been reliable, it is very noisy. It is
outside our bedroom and although it is about 8 feet away from the window
the noise carries right into the bedroom. It is especially objectionable
during the winter in the heat mode. I have had to wear ear plugs at
night simply because of the noise from this unit. I have finally had
enough and am going to replace it. Be sure and ask about noise levels
before you buy.

Review:
Unit has performed great! It was installed by a highly trained team of
installers. My utility bills have gone way down. The warranties are the
best in the business. Would recommend to family and friends.

There has not been a year it has not been a problem. This year the txv
has gone out. I have been waiting for 6 weeks to get a replacement part.
AVOID AMANA at all costs.

I am a licensed and insured HVAC contractor in Pa. I have 15 years of experience. I used to sell Amana. All I can say is make sure you
register your unit online. Make sure you buy a labor warranty because
these Amana heat pumps are plagued with problems. Amana likes to blame
these problems on the installers. I braze w/ nitrogen, evacuated the
system down 90 microns. I have had three units go down after only a year of operation. I have installed many systems in the past. Rheem had only 1 compressor failure. Buyer beware.

Review:
I had a unit in my house about 10 years old and although still working, decided I should replace the unit about a year ago. So I had a 5 ton Amana heat pump installed. Big mistake! Sometimes in the summer, it can get up to and past 100 degrees here in Texas. The old unit would keep the house cool, but my new Amana unit would go up to 89 degrees. When I called the installer, they said that is the best you can expect to get from that unit! So, now in the hot summers, I guess I'll need to get some window units to keep it bearable in the house. The contactor in the outside unit has gone bad and caused the unit to stay on while I was on vacation. Great for the electric bill! I had bought other Amana products, but I will never buy anything else with the Amana name on it!

Review:
Warning to prospective heat pump buyers: 1) Some folks try to save money
buying bootleg Amana equipment over the internet w/o a warranty and then
complain bitterly about lack of support when their low-ball installer
botches the installation. 2) The Amana brand consists of the regular
Amana models, plus a budget selection called Distinctions. The former
has top-of-the-line features, the highest heating efficiency ratings,
and the best warranty/support in the business, bar none. So please take
ultra-negative reviews with a grain of salt because some posters will
not tell you which equipment they bought or from whom.
My Amana ASZ16 HP + ADV8 furnace were purchased from and installed by an authorized Amana dealer. They have provided excellent service and support. My dual fuel system replaced a 17-year-old gas furnace/AC setup. Total energy consumption (mostly heating) has gone down 45%! I also get outstanding comfort levels since I did the right thing and replaced my old ducts with larger ones able to meet the higher airflow requirements of a 4-ton heat pump.
As much as I like the system, any knowledgeable HVAC person will tell you that the key to a good system is NOT the equipment, but rather a proper professional installation. Best of luck to you!
