Comparable Models by Amana

Model Comparison by Features

As one of Amana's premium-grade units, the ASXC18 air conditioner comes standard with a number of the brand's top of the line features. When compared to the Amana ASXC16, the ASXC18 stands out thanks to its superior SEER performance rating of up to 18. The ASXC18 achieves a higher rating due to its impressively upscale design.

Model Comparison by Price

Depending on seasonal promotions from your local Amana distributor, the ASXC18 will likely cost you around the same to install as the ASXC16. However, thanks to ASXC18's stronger efficiency rating, it will be able to accumulate greater savings over a longer period of time. In terms of potential maintenance costs, both the ASXC18 and ASXC16 utilize Amana's suite of service-related technologies and design features to make troubleshooting quick and easy.

Model Comparison by Tier

Similar to Amana's other premium-tier air conditioning systems, the ASXC18 comes standard with an array of innovative technologies to optimize efficiency and streamline maintenance. The ASXC18 air conditioner appears to fall short when compared to the Amana AVXC20, this is thanks to the latter's top-of-the-line variable-speed compressor with automatic adjusting.
