"Too Loud!"
Just moved into a new condo. Builder installed Amana heat pumps in all of the units to save money. My heating cost in this small condo is more than the 1700 sq ft house I moved out of. And worse of all, this unit makes the loudest whoosh sound every time it cuts on and off! What is up with that?! I am a very, very sound sleeper and this thing wakes me up all night long. I hate it. As soon as I can afford to replace it, it's gone!

"Home Owner"
Could not have been more happy with any heat pump as our 15 years and 4 months old Amana. So happy in fact, it went out last night and tomorrow it is being replaced with another -- thats right -- Amana.

"I hate it"
I had a 16 seer unit installed in my home. About a month after install, the unit stopped working. I called the company that installed it and they came out and told me it had a bad valve. They replaced the whole heat pump and then a week later it happened again. I called the company again and they told me that the new heat pump had the bad valve in it too. I had two things I could do, I could change the valve on the new heat pump or I could replace the unit with a differant brand. I paid a little extra and bought a Coleman heat pump. Now, I have heat. I don't blame the company that installed it, they were very on top of it. I blame Amana.

"3.5 ton Scroll compressor, good unit"
Still going, amazing heat output, had to check to be sure strips weren't on, they weren't. No problems in 13 years. Coils are corroding, but all manufacturers seem to be using cheap Chinese aluminum now and it doesn't hold up. Love the efficient Scroll compressor, really lowered cooling costs when installed, Tampa, Fl. Have heard the new owners are not as concerned with quality.

"Amana / Goodman 15 seer Heat Pump"
I had two 15 seer Amana heat pumps installed in August of 09. Both have had problems with the reversal valve and I've had to use the "emergency" heat setting all winter due to this issue. My electric bill has been through the roof. DO NOT BE TEMPTED TO TAKE A CHANCE AND BUY AN AMANA/GOODMAN TO SAVE A FEW BUCKS. PAY THE EXTRA MONEY AND GET A TRANE.

"Mr."
I had an Amana 18 seer heat pump and high efficient propane furnace installed 07/29/09. I was sold on the warranty and quietness of the unit. a/c worked great, very quit. Fired up the heat pump 10/10/09 for the 1st time and the compressor locked up. I called service and they showed up in 2 hrs. I was told the compressor was junk, and they would replace the whole unit. I'm hoping it was just a fluke....

"Unsatisfactory Performance"
My Amana Heat Pump Model asz14 was installed on 8/25/06. It provided cooling during summer and heat during winter. However, in less than a year it started to give less cool air during summer and less warm air during the winter. When I called Clark & Rush, who installed the system, for service, they discovered that the unit has lost a lot of refrigerant. And I was further told that there was a leak somewhere and for them to find the leak, they will have to charge me $800+. So I said no, and got another air conditioning mechanic to look for the leak. It cost me half of what Clark and Rush was chargning me to find the leak. Apparently, the leak was not in the evaporator or the line going to the evaporator but at the heat pump. To make a long story short, the Clarke and Rush people, came, charged the system with refrigerant as well as a dye they said would help them locate where the leak is coming from. They returned after a month or so and indicated that the leak was coming from the braze of the line that is connected to the heat pump. After they fixed the braze, they charged the unit with refrigerant. This was on 11/11/08. About September of 2009, I noticed that the heat pump is not giving cold air or warm air. My a/c mechanic checked the system and had to charged it with 7 lbs. of refrigerant. Apparently, the heat pump is still leaking. Now, even after being charged, the system is still not giving cold or warm air. I should have gotten Carrier instead which is what I had before and had very few problems with it.

"Great System"
I am a electrical contractor, I have wired in many differant heat pumps for over 15 years. After seeing all that I had to choose from, I chose a Amana asz16 Heat Pump. I live in the Northwest and a/c is not that important but heating is. Amana is only average in cooling cost, but the heating is the best I could find. hspf of 9.75 is great.
