  *********************************************************************** Safety Recall (Issued 2022)Nature of the Complaint:In December 2022, I contacted Schneider Electric and received confirmation that my Square D panel was included in their formally recalled load centers due to a significant fire and safety risk. A contractor was sent through their partner, Qmerit, to inspect the panel.Despite the inspection, Ive continued to experience ongoing electrical issues that raise serious safety concerns:-A laundry room outlet has been tripping consistently since I moved in (over five years ago).-The breaker for that circuit is now visibly yellowing, suggesting possible heat damage.-On multiple occasions, the furnace has been affected, and at one point this led to damage to my microwave.I contacted Schneider Electric again in March 2025 to request a re-evaluation (see email attached). However, they refused to cover labor costs for any follow-up inspection, stating the panel had already been assessed, even though the problems persist and may stem from the very defect for which the product was recalled.Their response was dismissive, directing me to hire a local electrician, despite the fact that this is part of a known and acknowledged recall affecting home safety.Desired Resolution:I am requesting that Schneider Electric:-Reassess the recalled panel and affected circuits at no cost to me, as part of their responsibility under the recall.-Honor the intent of the recall program, which is to ensure safety, not to deflect liability after a single inspection.I have documentation of the original recall confirmation and am happy to provide additional information if needed.Sincerely,*****

  The business contacted me via email and by phone through the Senior Product Support Specialist to request some photos. A few days later, I received a call from the Recall Administrator to schedule a reinspection appointment. During the call, the Recall Administrator asked me to provide a date and time for the visit and explained that, depending on the results of the reinspection, the panel would either be repaired or replaced. However, no one ever came to my home as scheduled, and I have not heard from them since. Ive been following up via email, but have not received any response. Please see the attached emails for reference.

  I have a wiser energy meter that's made by Schneider Electric. It used to be supported by sense from 2022 which had overseas peoples in ***** which purposefully ignored my email for support. It seems that Schneider Electric is doing the same they respond once and they don't answer. I'm having a defective model that disconnects once a week now after the new year after 2 years I got a new Gateway and new firmware update so there's no way it's that nothing else is doing that in my ********** one wants to help on both sides and there's no support provided the product is good when it works but when it doesn't work there's no help.

  Dear *******,

  Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.  We apologize for the delayed response.  Is this matter regarding Schneider Electric case number 113866872?  I do not see any request for a warranty replacement in the communication with our team, and it appears the issue was resolved once the gateway was reset?    Please let us know if you still have an open concern.

  I purchased a battery backup *** from Best Buy that was made by this company on June 11th, 2024 (APC - Back-*** Pro BN 1500VA, 10 Outlets, 2 USB Charging Ports, AVR, LCD Interface - Black). The unit failed on August 6th, throwing an F06 error for "faulty welding." It failed on a clear sunny day without any power fluctuations or outrages; it shut itself off and took power from my PC when the house itself never lost power. It wasn't even due to a brownout due to an appliance turning on, I was only watching a video on ******* there was no load on my system. There was no outside power issue. The unit just dropped dead. This unit lasted 56 days; less than two months, before critically failing and not powering back on, risking my PC with it. Fortunately this time there was no PC damage.I took it back to Best Buy and they were kind enough to issue a replacement outside of their typical 2 week return period because the unit was faulty. I got that unit the same day the first one failed, August 6th 2024. Last night on August 21st the unit failed again. This time during a small storm at the moment there was a single loud, close lightning bolt. The whole house DID experience a fluctuation, but nothing else was effected. The unit experienced an F02 error and actually once again shut itself down, losing power when nothing else in the house did, and taking power from my PC with it.The unit is not overloaded. It sits between 1 and 2 bars on the load meter, indicating between 20% and 40% usage. Only my PC and one monitor are plugged into the backup + surge slots. There are other items plugged into the surge only slots that do not impact the load, and even if they were on the battery backup it is: A monitor, a 3-bulb lamp with only LED bulbs in it, the Xfinity router, and a ******* hue bridge.I tried reaching out to them for a replacement and was given the run around. I want a refund.

  I have not heard from the business in response to my complaint.

  It does not feel right that they refuse to help when the product I bought needed to be replaced within 2 months and the replacement failed in 2 weeks.

  I would like to escalate this to False Advertising. They told me that I bought "the wrong one" in our chat, when the representative resorted to not responding until it timed out when I had asked that I be allowed to exchange the unit for the one I apparently need for the difference in cost. Right on the box of the "wrong unit" it explicitly states for use with Gaming PCs. No asterisk, no warnings. The video they linked me explicitly stated gaming PCs may not work because they are sensitive. 

  I am not satisfied at all with this company's treatment of my case, and frankly they should not be allowed to list a use then later rescind it and refuse compensation.

  I purchased an APC Professional Surge Protector that was guaranteed for lifetime and if any component that was plugged into it got damaged that component would be covered as well. They put me through phone, email, paper, and *** hassle to finally get a replacement surge protector that does not say professional, it is extremely heavy, and has a battery that uses contaminants, none of these were applicable to the unit I purchased. I also am awaiting some monetary compensation for my laptop that got hit by lightening. I would like for BBB to try to mediate an acceptable replacement for Professional Protector similar to the one I had as well as some monetary compensation for the damaged laptop. I have provided all necessary pictures, completed forms, and receipts to Schneider Electric and have been dealing with *********************** in ****************** but can only reply to his emails as SE does not allow phone calls to direct employees! I can provide any further information BBB may need. I have two tracking numbers, one for returned unit and one for replaced unit. I purchased the unit in approximately ********************************************************************* ********, ** for over $2000 total. The surge protector was not that much, but I could not find the receipt.

  In November 28, 2021 I purchased a new Square D (Schneider Electric) load center for my new house build from ********** online and didn't get it installed by my electrician until 09/09/2023. My electrician then claimed that the load center was defective due to a arc flash cover not being able to be put on after the installation. I then emailed Square D and was notified that the product was indeed defective and there was a current recall going on. They then sent me a brand new load center which I had to have my electrician replace the defective one. I contacted Square D in regards to getting a reimburse for the defective item that was installed but I keep getting the round-around each time I email them. If any more information is needed do let me know. I could really use some help with this as I had to use the money from my savings to get it replaced. Case *********

  In November 2023. My electrical panel was replaced by Schneider because it was defective. The electrical panel fried the dishwasher according to their technician. I talked to multiple representatives with no answer to when they would pay for the repairs. February 2024 they said the case was under investigation and to give them 30 days. April 2024 they are now asking for the same information I provided in February and I'm now back at square one.

  I was advised of safety issue with my electrical panel over 2 years ago. I sent countless emails and calls to only get no response. Last mont (March 2024) I received an email stating my case was closed since I never responded. I responded to the email and called customer support. One week later I get another email saying my case was going to be closed since I didn't respond. This time I responded to a different email address that was sent to me, once again i got the "your case is being closed" due to no response. I finally got ahold of someone at customer service who took my information. For something that was deemed a "Safety Issue" its pretty sad it took ********* over two years to respond

  I have a SquareD panel that is involved in a safety recall notice from Schneider Electric. I have followed all the instructions provided in the recall and agreed to have a contractor from their side inspect the panel (January 2024). After inspection early February 2024, the panel was deemed faulty and need to be replaced, they've proceeded to order the replacement and when the contractor removed the original panel, they realized the replacement part they ordered was not the right one. They put back the faulty panel and left my home. I've contacted Schneider again to get an answer on when will I have the faulty panel replaced and since then I have not received a confirmation, I've been told they are reviewing the issue and no concrete answer whatsoever. They said they were going to send the contractor again for an inspection and now I am concerned as I have a faulty panel installed that has been manipulated by a contractor and no response from SquareD on when will I have this safety issue resolved. My family is living in a home that has a panel recalled for a safety fire hazard and no ownership from the manufacturer in resolving the issue promptly.

  I purchased an APC ******** surge protector (Model: BN650M1) in January of 2020 ($75.53 from Best Buy) as I'd used several APC models in the past and liked this unit's size and profile compared to others. In the first week of January of this year, I came home to the unit 'screeching', letting me know the battery needed to be replaced (just like all APC products do). I replaced the battery unit for the first time and the surge protector powered up with a green light, but then shut off on its own within 10 minutes. I repeated this process three (3) times and contacted Schneider Electronics to remedy the issue, except I was given zero help. Per the attached e-mail correspondence, I was chided for replacing the battery (???), even though clearly, that's what the unit needed. I'm disappointed that SE made a product that I paid a significant amount of money for but then am expected to just throw away within exactly three (3) years of purchasing it.

  Business Response

  Date: 01/22/2024

  Dear ****************,

  Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.  Just to clarify please, you message to us mentions the BE650M1, which does have user replaceable batteries and the case mentions the BN450M, which does not.  Which unit do you currently own please?   I also shared your feedback with our ************* Center.  I believe the agent was trying to convey that if there is a chance your *** is still under warranty, it is best to contact us first, instead of purchasing a new battery, in case you can get that battery free of charge.  This sentiment was not made clear and that is good feedback for the agent to have.   It will be helpful to understand what can be done to resolve this matter to your satisfaction.

  I purchased a Square D 40 amp two pole breaker made by Schneider Electric from Lowes in 2019. The breaker has a 10 year warranty. The breaker failed in September 2023. I contacted Schneider Electric via phone requesting warranty service and they said I needed to go through a local distributor and referred me to Grainger in **********, *******. Grainger refused warranty service because I did not buy the product there. I then emailed Schneider Electrics warranty office and after two weeks they replied to me with an internet link that supposedly has distributors where I can get warranty service and told me I had to go to one of them. The link does not work. I had to purchase another 40 amp breaker as this one runs the heat pump to my house and I could not wait while Schneider Electric gave me the runaround. I would like to be in reimbursed by Schneider Electric for the $43 that I had to spend on a new 40 amp Square D breaker at Lowes to get my heat pump back in operation.
