Broan Air Conditioners Reviews - Consumer Ratings - Broan air conditioners offer the low-end air conditioner beginning at 13 SEER and the high-end Broan air conditioner comes in at a whopping 20 SEER which is hard to beat for any air-source air conditioner. Broan air conditioners are actually manufactured by Nordyne who perfected the IQ Drive system that makes the Broan air conditioners so efficient.
The top tier Broan air conditioner at 20 SEER is a higher SEER rating than some geothermal heat pump systems. The IQ Drive system uses the same inverter technology that has been perfected in mini-split ductless air conditioner and heat pump systems. Inverter systems modulate depending on the load of the system with modulation rates from approximately 20% all the way up to 100% based on load or actual cooling demand for the air conditioner. Various features of select Broan air conditioners include:

My brother has a Broan air conditioner and the first year he saved a lot on his electric bill.
My son bought a Broan three years ago. Unfortunately, it’s been under major repair several times. The latest is a coil leak, which will cost $1200. The Broan company doesn’t cover labor…., just parts after the first year. This isn’t an acceptable product and will send you to the poor house. A company that doesn’t stand behind their product should flat go out of business.
Sir, I am extremely sorry for the charge you received, and the service you have recieved. In which I would also have a bad taste in my mouth. The charge was a little bit steep. Old saying is product is only good as its installed, and return service goes a long ways also. Read your comment after reading the one below. Some companies like you mentioned, I do not understand why they are still in business. We strive for return business and good reviews to make our customers happy. Broan dealer now for 10 years, we receive excellent service, and because of that can do better in the field. Sorry for you bad experience with your Hvac System.
super cheap, crappy nordyne junk. mine is pretty much dead in 5 years even after major repairs. we’ve been robbed 🙁
I wouldn’t buy a BROAN heat pump or air handler if it was for free.I had one installed a year and a half ago and it already cost me over 2000.00 in labor costs bad leaky coils bad tdc valves the hole thing is a piece of junk. A installer named SUMTER AIR out of OXFORD FL. installed the unit wrong did not upgrade on bigger duck work because of a bigger unit and also bigger size copper tubing closed off a quarter of the feed to the house so he wouldn’t have to change the plendel size to fit the new unit, beware of who you get to install the unit.The joke of it all he is a tech installer for BROAN UNITS.If you live in THE VILLAGES IN CENTRAL FLORIDA STAY AWAY FROM SUMTER AIR AND HEATING he will leave you high and dry with service with your BROAN PIECE OF JUNK!!
Sir, with all due respect. I sincerely apologize for your experience with your Broan unit. I have been a Broan dealer for now almost 10 years. Based on what I am reading from your review your install, follow up on service and repairs, things could have been handled a lot different. I switched to be a Broan dealer because the back up that we receive from the Broan distribution company in our area. Our phone calls was always returned and emails was answered. I even had visits by our district manger over to the customers to insure that jobs was done right, after some major repairs was done to the system and let the customer know that they was took care of.
Best of luck, sorry for your bad situation with your Hvac system. I understand, no worse feeling than a hot house after a long day of work. Again best of luck.
I purchased a Broan 2.5 years ago and have had nothing but problems after yr. 1. Every summer I have to have a service call once a month. Ridiculous! If anyone knows of someone I can call to rectify this problem please do let me know.
Just bought a new 2 ton condensing unit. Got 10 year parts and 10 year labor warranty from a reliable local dealer.
Purchased a brown air conditioner in 2012 so far they really had to replace different things for times and today now they’re having to replace a compressor the labor alone is $554 it seems ridiculous that lesson a five-year-old air-conditioner and so far I’ve paid about $800 in labor because they only cover labor for a year it’s a company in Daytona Beach Florida as adding a usual fee for a compressor replacement even if the reply is this a normal price $554 for a two hour service which is what they say it will take to replace the compressor
Broan a/c for my above comments for regarding the $554 service labor fee
After owning one for 2.5 yrs. I don’t know if I’ll be able to afford to keep it for another 7.5 yrs.(the rest of the 10 yr. warranty)
