Review:
This is the original unit put into the unit before they went condo back
in 1970 - units were built in the late 60's. So we figure that the unit
is around 42 yrs old. The cold output is 50 and the heat is 103+. I am
totally amazed at the unit. I just had the 4 bulb mercury tube
thermostat since the cool side of it wasn't working right now. Amazing
for it's (and this) time.

Review:
We purchased our home 12 years ago with the GE Weathertron already in
place. I am not sure of the exact ton rating. At that time, I had it
inspected and serviced by a local HVAC shop just so I knew it was in
good operating order because it looked to me like it was an old unit
then. The tech told me it was indeed an old unit, probably 15 years old maybe more. He checked it all out and told me it was running just fine. We have since pondered the thought of replacing it with a more efficient and quieter model but still have not done so yet. So, here we are 12 years later which puts it at probably 27 years old at least, and the old GE Weathertron is still chugging away. I paid the tech $100 back then to check it out. But I have not spent one dime on service or repairs in those 12 years since.

Review:
After 37 years of trouble free service my ge Weathertron 3ton unit is
still heating/cooling.THe only repairs has been the replacement of one
outdoor unit fan motor and one air handler motor. It is heating/cooling
a 3000 sq ft home at 5280 feet elevation in mid Wyoming.
I immediately installed an outdoor thermostat to activate the first stage of resistant heat when the temperature got to 34 degrees ambient temperature when ever the indoor stat called for heat. It has saved a lot of run time on the outdoor unit and the temperature through out the home in severe cold weather can be above 72 if desired.
I wonder if any manufacture can duplicate the longevity and great service this unit is still providing. The last month it has been cooling in the day timme and heating in the wee hours of the morning. The original heat/cool thermostat is controlling the unit and settings haven't been touched for years. Not sense I told my visiting son-in-law to keep his "hands off."

Review:
My ge 2 ton heat pump is original to my 1984 house. It won't stop
running. The air handler is in the garage and it is rusted like crazy.
But it has only had one freon recharge since 1994. I'm going to roll the
dice and get a new Goodman system (on my brother in laws
recommendation) only to increase the efficiency and take advantage of the tax credit.

Review:
I also have ge Weathertron, Executive, 2.5 t installed in 1980. This
damn thing continues to run without any problem although the top plastic
grid is broken and metal side is all rusted and efficiency might be in
6-7seer range. Never spent a dime except puting 1-2# freon about 10
years ago. I want to replace it with Amana unit(14-15 seer) but afraid
it won't be as good as ge product has been. Any one of you have any
experience with Amana or Goodman products. Please post.

Review:
Unit is a Weathertron executive series, house was built in 1977, I've
been in it for 10 years, the compressor just died, 31 years of service.
The only thing I ever did to it was a little pm and a buddy that does ac
work added some freon 7 years ago. ge sold off this division to Trane a
long time ago, can't say if the newer ones (Trane) are as good. When I
look at all the bad reviews and systems breaking down and needing
service I wonder if a lot of the new stuff is just crappy or did I just
have an exceptional experience. I never thought about the system, it
just always worked. Not sure if it would it make sense to just replace
the compressor instead of buying a whole new system.
