"Amana 4 Ton"
I spent over $9,000 for the Amana Furnace and Air Conditioner Dual Fuel Unit with the 10 limited Warranty. I am very unhappy with the overall performance of this expensive unit. When the Heat pump turns on, it makes a terrible noise like a 'sick cow' or a 'groan' that can be heard inside the house. My neighbors make fun of it and say "how much did you pay for that"!!! Also, the heat pump is supposed to turn off and the furnace kick in below 26 degrees. Well, it doesn't!. It can kick on at 22 degrees, 16 degrees, etc. and blows out cool air when the furnace should be functioning. I have had the company out looking at it making a lot of promises to fix it - that is, when I constantly call them to come look at it. Doing it over, I would go with either a Lennox, Trane or some other brand.
You're quite the deal maker Richard. ![]()

"23 yrs old"
My Amana A/C is 23 yrs old and has been running with almost no problems. The only problems I had had really came from technicians who wanted to overcharge it with freon! Last summer, for the first time, a capacitor needed replacement, and the fan motor went out. This year, I replaced a contact. All told, that is less than $1,000 spent on repairs or maintenance in 23 years on my A/C, and it has continued to cool in Texas' heat extremely well! I have no complaints. I just worry what to do when I have to replace it one year, because I know I will also have to replace my 31-yr old electric furnace because of the coolant changes!

"Hot Summer? Not in my house"
I can't believe what I just read about how bad Amana units are because I know better. This is my third summer with my new ASX14 A/C unit with a AMH95 gas furnace and I can't tell you enough how GREAT it is. So quiet and energy efficient. Its over 103 degrees outside and my control is reading 73 inside. I am fully convinced that not only choosing the right equipment but also the installation is just as important with a quality installed duct system. The quotes that I received were thousands difference. But I read ever estimate carefully. I found a very detailed contractor that put everything in writing. His price was upper middle but I felt confident with them. The low price estimates had no details at all. When I ask for them to put more details in writing they just said "Trust me IM the air conditioning man" I figured cheap price cheap job? I am retired now and don't have the extra money to waste. Do it right the first time. I feel that I got what I paid for.

"Wooo. This system rocks."
I had my AMANA (5ton 16seer) installed in our 1984sq ft, 2009, EnergyStar, Zone1, Palm Harbor home last Saturday by AveryAir out of Houston, TX. The unit that came with the home was a Builders Grade, 4ton 13seer, R22, NorDyne unit. I had a bad evap coil replaced by a contractor. He pulled a vacume (29.92) and recharged the NorDyne system to specs. The NorDyne unit would strugle to keep the home temp @ 74 degrees. This strugle would start @ 12:30pm and wouldn't end until 1:00am. At times I would come in the house and it would be 84 degrees @ or about 6:00pm. I called 3 different contractors to come out to check my unit. Everyone of them said the same thing. "Everything checks-out ok, its working fine." My electric bill said something different. I called AveryAir to come out go over everything that I have now and we came up with the 5ton, 16seer unit, $3,500 mfg rebate and a $1,500 Tax credit. This new system does not strugle, even in 109 degree heat index. The system will now cycle. It holds 74 with very little effort. I love this unit. Also, this unit is Super Quiet inside and out. It looks like I might be able to buy that new Bass boat with the savings on my electric bill. We'll see

"Don't buy an AMANA heatpump"
I had an Amana unit installed spring of 2007. Each winter it has been using so much electricity, (between 3000 to 6000 kw hrs a month)that my electric bill is too high to even survive. Seven people have looked at it, and no one can figure out the problem. Some issues were found on the outside unit which the installer replaced, but no one can figure out why to heat 1200 sq ft to 68 degrees it should use insane amounts of energy. It is the worst $4700 purchase I have ever made and am looking at having to completely replace it after 3 winters because it is too expensive to run. That said, the summer electric bill is acceptable. I wish I had never ever purchased an Amana. Let me also say, the customer service dept is more worthless than the units. A better use of your money is to flush it down the toilet.
I thought that maybe there was just something wrong with the air in Des Moines but apparently that's not the problem. ![]()

"30 Year Tech Tells You This Advice:"
99%+ of the time, when you have compressor or other problems it's an installation issue. How can the engineers of ANY brand know what kind of idiot is installing your equipment? If it's installed according to specifications, it runs according to specifications, without problems. That is why you have excellent units (Good Installer) and troublesome units (Idiot Installer) in any brand. Amana makes some of the best A/C equipment made, and the absolute very best gas furnaces on the market.

"It must be the installer"
Replaced a 35 yr old unit with Amana 3 ton 16 seer 2 stage on roof. It is a combo heat/ac. This was 30 days ago. Very satisfied. It cools great even in a house from 1952 with no insulation in the walls. It is quiet. I live near Sacramento where it can get hot for extended periods. After reading all of the reviews, I went with the company that charged a little more but included a 15 yr parts and a 10 yr labor warranty. After checking out the company, Griener Heating and Air, found out they are completely customer satisfaction oriented. They pressure checked my ducting and repaired as needed. They also have called me since completion and made sure everything was to my satisfaction and thanked me for my business.

The issue is that unlike carrier and other name brands that have certain companies requirement and competencies, Amana is a brand that anyone can buy, meaning the companies that carry that brand are typically the unqualified charlatan snake oil sales man that prey on the elderly or people that are ignorant/not very bright because they are not respected by the real companies and informed consumers.
They typically sell them units that are too big, thinking that more is better...
And then because it short cycles, it puts more wear and tear on the unit itself... Also since people will go with the lowest bid, they often pay for the low-ball company that does not install it correctly... The Trane/carrier people will not allow their products to be installed by these lowball/low budget companies...
So it is not necessarily about the amana brand, but more about the incompetence of the typical amana consumer...
And these eldery/vulnerable people, or people with no real friends or connections in the real world often think they walked away with a better deal becasue it is cheaper...
The amana consumer will typically neglect their unit and filters which results in inferior performance, so this is a confounding variable when it comes to the amana brand...
The actual warranty on the unit seems appropriate, but warranty from these low-ball/low budget companies are often given by companies knowing that they are not going to stay in business the full term of the warranty... But this is the basics of any charlatan/snake oil salesman scam...
My neighbor does this for a living in the commercial sector and warned me about the residential companies with these type of practices... luckily he was able to give me a referral to a company that he trusted and the guy gave me a discount because they were friends... I also hired my own electrician who is a friend, which took off a few hundred dollars in the end...
I am grateful to my friends, networking and connections that I have developed over the years with being social, friendly and helping them out with referrals when I can... I have gotten a referral or two from them myself
But that is how healthy professional/business relationships work...
He also probably got a good deal from the incentives by his friend Obama by getting a "greener", higher seer unit... But we all know this "closet liberal" is a typical Obama voter anyways...
