About The Comfortmaker Line
Comfortmaker is a brand produced by International Comfort Product International (ICP), which is owned by United
Technologies (UTC). United Technologies is openly traded on the NYSE under the symbol UTX. ICP manufactures oil
and gas furnaces for use in residential HVAC applications as well as in commercial settings.
Comfortmaker's History
IPC, the maker of the Comfortmaker brand, was founded in 1900, in St. Louis. In 1999, the company was purchased by
United Technologies and became part of UTC's lineup of technology companies, which includes Carrier Corp. as
well. The Comfortmaker line is described by ICP as "quiet and efficient." ICP states "International Comfort
Products produces air conditioning systems, heat pumps and furnaces under seven different brand names, each of
which has earned a loyal customer following."
Product Lineup
Comfortmaker furnace ignitors can be installed in a wide variety of different furnaces, including Heil, Tempstar,
Carrier and ICP. As with many other furnace manufacturers, Comfortmaker furnaces use hot surface ignitors to help
promote better safety. Comfortmaker also offers a Mini Furnace Pilot Ignitor. In 2005, ICP recalled approximately
28,700 furnace units for repair due to a faulty ignitor circuit board that may catch fire under certain
conditions.
Comfortmaker Warranty
Comfortmaker offers a long-term warranty on the furnace heat exchanger (limited lifetime), but only a five-year
warranty on the operational parts within the furnace. However, additional coverage can be found through
Comfortmaker's HELP program, extending the warranty by five to 10 years. Additionally, consumers will have to
contact the original installation company for warranty coverage because the warranty is provided to this
contractor rather than directly to the consumer. However, the five-year No Hassle Replacement Warranty will
replace the entire unit and the additional HELP coverage will cover labor costs.
