Amana Model ASXC18 18 SEER Central Air Conditioner Rating

 

Amana products like the Amana model ASXC18 central air conditioner are gaining market share with an attractive combination of high efficiency, excellent performance and one of the best warranties in the industry.  This is a 2-stage AC that runs on low most of the time.  This offers more consistent cooling with less temperature fluctuation.  It also produces better dehumidification.  With 18 SEER efficiency, this is a model to consider where the AC is used heavily from spring into fall.

Our Amana model ASXC18 18 SEER central air conditioner rating review gives you the information you can use to evaluate this unit in light of your HVAC needs.

Operating Cost Efficiency Rating (4/5)

The Energy Star-rated 18 SEER delivered by the Amana ASXC18 central air conditioner is excellent.  Most homeowners replacing an older AC with this one will realize a 35% to 55% reduction in their cooling costs.  The high efficiency – even at the price of higher equipment costs – makes it a good choice for those who turn on their air conditioner in the spring and use it heavily into the fall. In cooler climates, a less expensive, less efficient air conditioner might be a better value.

Feature Rating (4/5)

The ASXC18 18 SEER central air conditioner from Amana is designed to make your home very comfortable.  It should be matched with a variable-speed blower for maximum comfort, and when it is, this unit will produce temperature balance, better air filtration, and a less humid home.  The value of lower humidity is that you can feel just as comfortable at a slightly higher temperature, saving money on cooling costs when you bump up your thermostat by 2-3 degrees. Here's an overview of this air conditioner's top features.

• 2-stage scroll compressor provides better indoor comfort than single-stage models.
• Compressor is a Copeland Ultra-Tech, the top-rated compressor in the industry.
• Compressor blanket reduces noise.
• High-pressure and Low-pressure switches protect the compressor during operation.
• Filter dryer increases compressor and refrigerant longevity.
• 2-speed fan condenser is quiet and effective.

 Reliability Rating (4/5)

Amana has a proven track record for dependability, and that is demonstrated by the good air conditioner ratings it has from those who have installed one.  With scheduled maintenance, this air conditioner should provide up to 20 years of home comfort.

Manufacturer's Warranty Rating (5/5)

The compressor in the Amana model ASXC18 is covered by a lifetime unit replacement warranty.  If the compressor fails the original owner in the home in which it was first installed, Amana will replace the entire condensing unit.  The AC is also covered by a 10-year parts limited warranty.

Overall Rating (4.5/5)

With its high efficiency, excellent performance, durability and warranty, this gets one of our highest HVAC ratings of any unit.  You’ll pay more to get this top of the line Amana, but the Amana ASXC18 central air conditioner will reward you with lower energy bills and durable, trouble-free service.
