Amana

Amana is an American HVAC brand known for its lifetime compressor coverage. The AVXC20 is its flagship variable-speed central air conditioner.

Amana sells central air conditioners across single-stage, two-stage, and variable-speed tiers. The AVXC20 sits at the top of the range with a high-efficiency variable-speed compressor. Amana backs the system with a lifetime unit replacement limited warranty on the compressor, a distinctive feature of the brand.

Efficiency and Compressor Technology

The AVXC20 is Amana's most efficient central air conditioner. Amana rates the AVXC20 at up to 24.5 SEER, which leads its residential air conditioner lineup.

Amana builds the AVXC20 on a high-efficiency variable-speed compressor rather than a fixed or two-stage design. Amana describes the unit as offering quiet performance through a compressor sound-reduction cover made of high-density foam and a specially designed sound-control top.

Warranty Coverage

Amana offers unusually long warranty coverage on the AVXC20. Amana states the AVXC20 carries a lifetime unit replacement limited warranty on the compressor, good for as long as the original registered purchaser owns the home.

The remaining components carry a separate limited term. Amana states the AVXC20 includes a 10-year parts limited warranty, and online registration must be completed within 60 days of installation to receive these benefits.
