Amana for Mfg Home?
Posted: Wed Jan 05, 2011 7:16 pm
Hi,
I have an older Nordyne Intertherm and many problems keeping the pilot lit. Today the HVAC guy came out, and as he took things apart, he showed me a potential weak spot in the heat exchanger (?) where a hole may form.
He said the furnace should be okay this winter, but next year I should look at replacing it. And he suggested an Amana - total cost installed about $4,800.
I can't find anything about Amanas for Mfg Housing. Is it an approved brand? Also, the price seems a little steep. Is Amana a high-end furnace? My house (Redman dbl-wide) is 17 years old, and a mid-range quality furnace would suit me fine.
Thanks for any info on this. I've been to the forum before with my furnace woes and you guys are always so helpful. I really appreciate it!
