Pros and Cons
A lot of satisfied customers have asserted over the years that, as compared to whatever furnace they had before they bought the Amana GMV95 gas furnace, their new furnace is a whole lot quieter. This is indeed one of the most attractive features of this range of furnaces and it is one that is well worth keeping in mind. You will, however, find an Amana GMVC95 gas furnace review or two that says the complete opposite, i.e. that the new furnace is much louder than the old. This seems to only be true for a few isolated units and in many cases, these reviews are written by people who do not understand that you will have to make a bit of a silence sacrifice if you want your home to be heated by a furnace in the first place.
Another benefit of this furnace is that it distributes heat more evenly through the home than many other furnaces that are competing in the same market and the same range. This means that you are unlikely to experience ‘cold spots’ throughout your house and that your home will, overall, be a far more comfortable place for you to live. Generally you will find that Amana GMVC95 gas furnace reviews are positive.
This Amana GMVC95 gas furnace review would not be complete without a brief look at some of the problems that some people occasionally experience with their Amana GMVC95 gas furnace. Something that comes up every once in a while is that after a few years the furnace stops working optimally and pumps out heat at the wrong times. This causes the owner to have high energy bills that are not really necessary. However this problem has only been reported in a few of the units and does not necessarily mean that the entire range is faulty.
