"Junk"
We had problems from the beginning with the txv valve. Went to second, more experienced company and eventually, the compressor and reversing valve also had to be replaced. The new compressor runs quiet but is very loud when coming on. checked everything and said it's fine. Warranty does NOT cover labor so we would have saved money to go with another brand. We're just waiting for when it starts acting up again and assume we'll have to replace the whole unit in 10 years. Lesson learned... NEVER take what the installer says without doing full research yourself.

"terrible system"
The system uses a gas no longer compliant with EPA regulations, and it seems that Weatherking has ceased to produce it altogether, including replacement parts. My repair contrctor keeps getting strung along by Weatherking's promises of the parts coming back into production, but so far nothing. It's been 4 months. Merely 6 years after installation, a repair request might turn out to be a total replacement. I do hope a class action suit is filed, because this is a swindling deal.

"Almost 20 yrs and going strong!"
Dont know why everyone is so upset. I dont know if the unit has changed owners or if mine was just installed correctly but we've have ours for almost 20 years. No heat pump really keeps your house warm in the winter so we use a wood stove for the most part and keep the thermostat set at 63 in the winter months, 80 in the summer. We keep it that way because I hate to give even a DIME to the electric company. so far though, we have no complaints. They just dont make things like the USED To!

"Weatherking Heat Pumps Failures"
As a HVAC contractor for over 25 years we have never regretted installing a certain line of heat pump as much as we do the Weatherking. Our failure rate is over 90%. These failures are all major repairs with compressor,txv, and reversing valves failing. We thought we had a good thing in an inexpensive unit and got what we paid for. And I am still paying for it!

"TRUST YOUR INSTALLER!!!"
I install HVAC for a living. Weatherking is just as good as the next cheap brand. My only complaint is that it is too noisy, but hey it is cheap! For everyone on here complaining about the compressor, make sure you change your filter every 3 months, and more importantly, make sure it has a liquid line drier and the company that installed it, did it right!! If they did not pull a good vacuum and did not install a drier, of course it will crap out!! Also, have it maintenanced by a professional once a year. Cheap parts like the contractor going bad will also cause a compressor failure. They are not designed to run forever. Without being maintenanced, you have to service it just like a car from time to time!!!!!!!!!!!

"WEATHER KING"
Weather Junk. This machine would not be worth owning 100 years ago. Anyone interested in buying one would be better off leaving a freezer open or turning on a gas stove. I have owned my Weather Junk for 2 1/5 years now. The first one burned up in 1 years time. The second one has vibrated apart. I know, you might think that's what you get for being cheap. No, this is what I get for being stupid and letting someone sell me an item without checking into it myself. I guess just another life lesson. Good luck to all with their money pits.

"Weatherking Sucks"
This is an update on my earlier post. Bought my house in 2007 and the contractor installed Weatherking. The first 2 years, the unit went out 4 times ( all under warranty). The unit cools the house very well but all of my problems occur during the cooling season. The unit froze yesterday and it is out again. The capacitor has burst and this is the 3rd capacitor for the unit. You expect to have problems like these after 15-20 years not 3. Also, the unit heats very poorly. House never feels comfortable when the temp. falls below 40.

"Heat Pump failure"
I had a new Weatherking heat pump installed in November 2009. Unit worked great for 2 months, then stopped. Have replaced thermostat 3 times, all low voltage wiring and the factory supplied an updated circuit board. Still not working. Heating contractor is pulling his hair out.
