Air-Conditioning Heating Directory

In its over one-hundred year history, Maytag has become one of the most famous brands of home appliances.  It was founded in 1898 by Frederick Maytag and at its height was one of the world’s largest home and commercial appliance manufacturers with a reported worth of some $4.7 billion. However, after a series of business reversals, the company was acquired by the Whirlpool Corporation in 2006. The Maytag brand, however, continues to appear on rebranded appliances produced by Whirlpool.

The Maytag heat pump line is notable for having one of the longest warranties in the heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) industry. Their models also come with a 10 or 12-year limited warranty on parts and an optional 12-year labor warranty. Other notable features of the their heat pump models are their high SEER and HSPF ratings, which are among the highest in the industry and ensure increased savings on your utility bills; a permanently lubricated motor that requires no maintenance; and a diagnostic module that allows for efficient and quick routine maintenance of the unit. The energy-efficiency of the heat pumps, along with the use of the eco-friendly Smart Cool 410 refrigerant, ensures that these heating/cooling devices are at the forefront of environmental protection standards.

You can also compliment your Maytag heat pump with a wide variety of accessories such as a programmable thermostat that will ensure lower energy costs by automatically adjusting indoor temperature settings according to when there are people at home or not, and a humidifier that will ensure appropriate indoor moisture levels.
