      Status:
      Resolved
      In July 2021 I bought an Trane XV20i Variable speed AC and heat pump system for $25,000. On August 28th 2023 the system failed and AC was not working anymore. The dealer (Sanborn's Air Conditioning & Heating in Redlands) that installed the system did the diagnostic and found that 2 parts need replacement: ************* for EEV and EEV board. Sanborn's Air Conditioning & Heating in Redlands told me that the 2 parts are not available (stepper motor takes one week and board takes 1 month). I reached out directly to Trane Supply and have been told that the parts are available in a local Trane supply store.Please get the parts from Trane Supply and fix the A/C as soon as possible.

      Had AC repair service call and after 3 hours was told wires were overheating, electrical shorts observed and burning smell from unit. Additionally, recommended not to operate system as it is not safe to do so. Was given a verbal estimate to repair at $7,500 with no guaranteed repair would work. Next day, my home warranty company sent service repair company and fixed AC unit and found none of the issues listed above and AC unit has been working fine. Clearly this company attempted to take advantage of a customer during extreme hot weather. I called and wrote company and was still charged for service call. I would not recommend using this company. I would give zero stars if I could.

      Looks to be a large misunderstanding. I see a proposal for $375.00. If a fee of $7,500 was discussed it would be about replacement options due to age or condition of the equipment and would have a guarantee with it as all of our work does. Thank you for bringing this to my attention and I will find out from my technician what he was talking about. We have refunded the Service call fee for a Saturday after hours emergency call.
