Janitrol Gas Furnace Reviews

It is difficult to find specific information about Janitrol products on the web as Janitrol is manufacturered by Goodman Manufacturing - yes the same Goodman that makes many HVAC products including the Amana line of HVAC equipment. Many Janitrol gas furnaces fall in line with the same models that the Goodman line of gas furnaces are defined. However, Janitrol gas furnaces are Goodmans builders grade so there are no bells and whistles on the typical Janitrol units and the efficiency levels of Janitrol gas furnaces are not as high as the Goodman gas furnaces are. A search at the Goodman site does not reveal anything about Janitrol so in the Goodman grand marketing plan the Janitrol gas furnace line is not publized or marketed to the general public. Instead Goodman markets tthe Janitrol line of gas furnaces to builders which is their biggest market. If you have a Janitrol gas furnace then you probably got it when you bought the house new. There are a few Janitrol dealers that will sell you a new Janitrol gas furnace so if you look for a contractor who is a Janitrol dealer then you can expect a gas furnace with little bells and whistles and a gas furnace that is not so efficient.
