Amana Air Conditioners

Amana manufactures residential heating and cooling systems as well as kitchen appliances that deliver reliable performance. While Amana air conditioners may cost more than competitor models, they boast high Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) ratings.

A SEER rating refers to the ratio of an air conditioner’s cooling output to the amount of energy it uses in watt-hours over the course of a cooling season. The higher an AC’s SEER rating, the higher the energy efficiency. See below for a comprehensive guide on Amana products, pricing, energy-efficiency ratings, warranties, and buyer reviews.

Types of Amana air conditioners

Regardless of the size of your home or budget, Amana offers an AC unit to suit your needs. Amana’s line-up of air conditioners includes:

Central air conditioners

An Amana central air conditioner is ideal for large homes located in hot climates. With a BTU rating ranging from 18,000 to 60,000, this type of AC is powerful enough to effectively cool your entire house.

Window air conditioners

If you want to cool only one room in your home, you can opt for an Amana window-mounted air conditioner. This AC boasts 6,000 BTUs to deliver quick cooling.

Portable air conditioners

If you desire flexibility, explore an Amana portable air conditioner. This unit features a trolley design that makes it easy to move around the home. Its cooling power of 10,000 to 12,000 BTUs makes it ideal for rooms measuring up to 350 square feet.

Amana air conditioner models

Amana offers eight central air conditioners, nine window air conditioners, and seven portable air conditioners. These models are divided into several series, which include:

ANX

The ANX series consists of two models: the ANX13 and ANX14. As the base model, the ANX13 is ideal for budget-conscious buyers who want a high level of comfort and good energy savings. This AC is rated at 14 SEER and features an efficient compressor and a single-speed motor fan. Features include a louvered metal coil guard that prevents coil damage, a powder-paint finish for enhanced durability, and Amana’s Quiet Performance enhancements that include a sound-reduction top.

The ANX14 includes all the features available in the ANX13 and boasts a SEER rating of 15, which helps further reduce energy bills.

ASX

Amana’s ASX series contains three models: the ASX13, ASX14, and ASX16. The ASX13 offers the same SEER rating and features as the ANX13. However, it adds the innovative Copeland CoreSense Diagnostics system, which monitors the air conditioner for existing and potential problems, offers troubleshooting guidance, and provides advice on possible repairs. It also automatically shuts down the system if it detects an issue that can damage the compressor.

This model is ideal if your lifestyle or local climate requires you to use your AC extensively. The ASX14 is a more energy-efficient version of the ASX13, delivering a SEER rating of 15.

The ASX16 includes a single-speed condenser fan motor, Copeland CoreSense Diagnostics, Quiet Performance, and all the other features found in the ASX14. This model provides better energy savings with its 16 SEER rating.

ASXC16

The ASXC series includes the ASXC16 and ASXC18. The main difference between the AXC16 and the lower-tier models is that it uses a two-stage compressor and two-speed condenser fan motor to produce more precise temperatures and greater energy efficiency. Rated at 17 SEER, this model also features ComfortBridge technology, which enhances the performance of Amana gas furnaces. You can pair this AC with a compatible gas furnace to enable it to collect data, monitor its performance, and automatically make adjustments to improve comfort and energy efficiency. The ASXC16 is ideal for homeowners who live in extremely cold areas.

The ASXC18 includes all the features in the ASXC16. However, this unit can help you save more on your energy bill with its higher SEER rating of 19.

AVXC

The AVXC series includes only one model: the top-of-the-line AVXC20. This model offers better features than the other Amana air conditioners. With an incredible 24.5 SEER rating, it comes with a variable-speed compressor and variable-speed condenser fan motor to deliver maximum comfort and efficiency. It’s also Amana’s quietest AC, thanks to the addition of high-density foam to its compressor cover.

AMAP

The AMAP series consists of nine window air conditioners and seven portable air conditioners. The smallest window AC is the AMAP050BW, which is a 5,000-BTU unit that’s specially designed to cool rooms up to 150 square feet. It has an Energy-Efficiency Ratio (EER) rating of 11.1. EER differs from SEER in that it measures the energy efficiency of an AC based on an inside temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit and an outdoor temperature of 95 degrees. Additionally, this window air conditioner includes two fan speeds and four-way directional air louvers to provide better control over the cooling results.

The largest Amana window air conditioner is the 24,000-BTU AMAP242BW, which can quickly cool a large room measuring up to 1,500 square feet. This ENERGY STAR-compliant unit has an EER rating of 10.4. It features three cooling speeds, eight-way directional air louvers, “Eco” and “Sleep” modes for improved efficiency, an on-board electronic control panel, and a programmable timer.

If you want a portable AC to cool a room up to 250 square feet, the AMAP101AW is a good option. Rated at 8.87 EER, this 10,000-BTU unit includes caster wheels for convenient movement, three cooling speeds and three fan speeds for enhanced cooling flexibility, auto-swing louvers for better air distribution, and a remote control with an LCD display.

Alternatively, you can opt for the slightly larger AMAP121AB. This model has the same EER rating and features as the AMAP101AW, but it generates 12,000 BTUs to cool rooms up to 350 square feet.
