Maytag Gas Furnace Reviews

Maytag HVAC equipment including Maytag gas furnaces are actually produced by  Nordyne. The relationship between Maytag and Nordyne is not clear - does Nordyne lease the name Maytag for the products they produce or does Maytag own Nordyne. Perhaps we will find the answer for you soon to keep you updated. I was surprised when researching Maytag gas furnaces that Maytag lists their highest efficient gas furnace at 97% AFUE. This is the highest AFUE rating I have observed for a gas furnace by any HVAC manufacturer. There is also no listing on the site that Maytag is a member of AHRI which certifies manufacturer efficiency claims. A big feature of Maytag products is their warranties. All the HVAC products from Maytag that we researched for the reviews come with a 12 year worry-free limited warranty. This warranty applies to parts but not labor as most warranties go but 12 years makes this a great warranty. Benefits of selected and various Maytag gas furnaces include:

• The 97+ Maytag gas furnace comes with iSEER™ and MAytag claims it will boost the SEER of a matched air conditioner by 1 SEER.


• The 97+ Maytag gas furnace uses iQ Drive® and is controlled by a like named thermostat. (no details are provided by Maytag about how these two different systems work to give you added efficiency.


• Limited lifetime warranties on the heat exchanger for selected gas furnace models.


• Two-Stage gas furnace models available from Maytag


• Fixed blower delay which Maytag claims to be innovative however this is standard throughout the industry. A start-up delay on the blower is done to heat the system up before the blower comes on. This prevents cold air from being circulated through the duct system by allowing the heat exchanger to heat up before th blower energizes.

Maytag began in 1893 as a farm implement manufacturer and later moved into making washing machines which they are famous for when in 1907 Fred Maytag decided to make washing machines.  In 1970's the Maytag man came on Maytag television commercials and in 1974 Maytag introduced their very first automatic washing machine.  Maytag now makes many different appliances including air conditioning and heating systems.
