But all is not rosy – other customers appear quite distraught with their experience:
As a prudent consumer who wants a quality, long-lasting, reliable air conditioner for your home, while still getting the most value for your money, there are a few questions you should ask before signing that order:
If your compressor fails during the warranty period, it’s great to know the manufacturer will stand behind it, but what about the labor? Often, the labor expense exceeds the cost of the parts required. Make sure you know where you stand – in writing.
Be sure it includes equipment and all labor. Some installations can encounterunexpected difficulties or a need for additional parts or labor. Such issuesshould not impact your cost.
You certainly don’t want subcontractors doing the work. They are typically paid by the job, and have been known to take shortcuts or skip over the manufacturer’s startup and checkout procedures. This can create long-lasting problems with yoursystem.
There are a few obvious takeaways you canget from reviews – good and bad:
make sure you’re AC unit is installed by qualified technicians that are certified and recognized by the manufacturer. With York equipment and certified installers on the job, the manufacturer can be counted on to stand behind your air conditioner for the long haul.
Don’t over or under-estimate your airconditioning needs. Purchase the right size unit(s) specified by the professionals who evaluate your heating and a/c needs. This ensures the best results for long-lasting, trouble-free home comfort.
