  I bought an air conditioner from the vendor in March 2023 for a property on **** ********** ***** for $4775. It works okay. There is problem with it's performance. However, after repeated attempts to get a copy of the warranty from the vendor, I've not gotten a copy. Perhaps the unit will function properly over its lifetime. I would like to have a copy of the warranty just in case.

  I was able to get a satisfactory response on my complaint from the vendor on this within the last hour. The warranty information I was looking for was included in the contract I have. They vendor does not send separate warranties. I am okay with this. I just wish someone could have said this months ago. Thanks for your help. You've speeded the response.

  We had a rough experience with *** at Airton this week. I had a tech come out to my property due to receiving two very high property bills for my brand new house. Keep in mind, I've not even stayed at this property yet. The tech explained that the heat pump was never connected to the actual unit. The tech recommended me to reach out to the company directly. I called and speak with ***, who should not be allowed to email customers (see attached unprofessional responses) and *** informs me that he will speak to his manager. The following day nothing from *** as promised, and nothing. I would really like to speak to the actual manager regarding this situation. ***'s behavior was unacceptable and beyond frustrating to receive considering the issue at hand. At this time, I would like by two bills paid in addition to February bill that has yet to arrive.

  *** *****,
  I am sorry that you had a poor experience with our team. The manufacturer issue led to the abnormally high utility bills, which we were happy to send you compensation for your added expense. Unfortunately, our customer service representative, *******, let his emotions get the best of him also. We have counselled him on his unnecessary response, and I assure you that does not represent how we do business with our customers. Thank you for your feedback, as it will only help us improve and provide better experiences for other customers in the future.

  Thank you,

  In August, our air conditioner started making noises. We turned it off and called Airtron, We have a service agreement in place. They could not find a record of it although they had been out to check and clean our furnace under that agreement. They reinstated it and included it in their visit to investigate the p***lem. The tech (*****) said the blade and capacitor had a p***lem. Parts were ordered with a 3 week delivery delay. We were called a week later and told parts were in. The approaching weather was going to be in the 90's, so we were delighted. ***** came back to install the parts. Parts included a new fan, capacitor and motor. ***** told us they did not fit, and since our unit was almost 18 years old, we would need a whole new air conditioner. I told him I would want to investigate further before putting one in. He told me he wasn't lying to me. This is what we needed. They could put one in right away. I was called by *** who had to check to find what size we needed in the records. He said it would be a 3 1/2 ton and they could put one in right away for $6500-$7000, depending which model I wanted. He also wanted to know if I wanted to replace my furnace too. Since it was gas and the air conditioner was electric, I have no idea why that would be necessary. I also told him I wanted to investigate this further. He told me slots were filling up quickly and if I wanted to get one in quickly, I needed to order soon. I had a good friend who was previously a heat/air man come out. He tested the equipment and determined the capacitor was not working. He took it to a parts shop. Since it was not bulging, he had them check it too. Not working. $40!!!!! to buy a new one. He installed it. No other parts needed. Air working perfectly. Difference between $6500-$7000 and $40. Either I was being lied to or they were incompetent. You decide. I won't deal with them again and will cancel my service agreement. Don't want them near my property.

  ******,

   

  I would like to apologize for your recent experience with Airtron. My technicians pride themselves on being able to fix a problem rather than replace a system. The technician that you mentioned has never received a complaint for a misdiagnosis or for pressuring a sale, so this is definitely out of character for him. Hopefully the fix from your friend will be a long-term fix and not a Band-Aid. It is our professional opinion to look at replacements rather than repair on systems of that age more times than not. But we would certainly go any direction you'd like. We can get your contract cancelled for you. I will have a person on my team reach out to you to walk through all those steps. We hate to lose you as a customer. If you'd like to discuss further, please let me know and I will help in any way that I can.

  Sincerely,

  Recently airtron installed a heating and airing unit at my house. Upon completion the employee started going over how to operate the system to me. He also was telling me how nice it was that I had Lights under there to where they were able to see the work that most places with crawl space didn't have lights. At that time I had to explain the reason I had put those lights under there was so I could put heat bulbs to keep my water pipes from freezing during the winter. He stayed at that they had moved one of the lights to make the runs and if I would don't put a heat lamp in that because it's really close to the flex duct and he was concerned it may melt it . At the time I didn't think it was going to be a big deal leaving one heat bulb out of the light fixtures however a few days later I had went under the crawl space the prime my water pump at which time I noticed they had run their ductwork parallel to my strand of Lights which I will not be able to put any heat bulbs in any of them to prevent my pipes from freezing during the winter . I reached out to ******* ****** with airtron and he checked the specs on the flex dock to see what kind of heat it can endure . During our phone conversation he said it would melt the flex duct . At this point I had explained then it needed to be moved because those were existing lights those weren't something that was put up after they had ran the ductwork . He said I should have brought it to their attention that I was going to put heat lamps in them light fixtures . In that case they should have told me what route they were running and I would explain that they couldn't have ran it at that route . He said the only way they would move that ductwork is if they charged me which I don't see right .

  During the initial discussion with the customer, our salesman asked for drawings of his new home so that he could provide an accurate estimate. The customer refused to send drawings because he stated that they were not accurate. My salesman tried to give an estimate based on the customers requests and he was met with insults and inappropriate text messages. I decided to go and visit the job site and talk in person as well as provide an estimate. During the walk through, no mention was ever made about heat lamps or areas where we could not run our ductwork. We discussed that the ductwork would need to go in the crawl space and the locations of each supply. During this walk through I took videos of the crawl space and there is no evidence of heat lamps or heat lamp locations. When we came out to do the installation, the ductwork was discussed with the customer, and again no mention was made of the heat lamps. After the job was complete the customer had unopened boxes that he wanted to show my installer before he left. These were his heat lamps. When we were finally finished, the customer had signed off on the paperwork, then he made mention of the heat lamps. I tried to have a reasonable discussion over the phone. I was cussed at and hung up on. I stated that we would move the ductwork for a cost, and offered to split the cost with the customer. This was not received well. I will not credit $1000 back, but I am still willing to move the ductwork for a discounted cost.

  The reason I'm rejecting the company offer is because it's their negligence granite they did originally ask me for ****** but when I had explained that there was no ****** on the new constructed home he said he would have *** come out and evaluate the site. ******* ******* is right when he said I signed off but I signed off on them going over the operation aspect of the units I would not have a clue on what's proper and what's not proper as far as the insulation. This is why I contacted him once I saw that the flex duct was ran parallel with the strand of lights that was in the crawl space . And as far as cussing and going back and forth with the original guy that contacted me about coming out ******* ******* is wrong if I have to I will submit the texts I saved them ******* . There is not one cuss word . Explain this to me ******* why didn't your technicians complete the job I was painting this weekend and when I was in the laundry room painting the ceiling I seen where they didn't complete screwing the duck return down where the tabs were there's only one screw in it and the other screws are laying up on top so that's incomplete which I want done see attached .I you're right I did hang up on you ******* ******* and this is the very reason why I didn't want to argue back and forth so do what's right and get out here and move that ductwork . At this point I have not put a review in but if this is not taking care of I will and it's not going to be a pleasant review and one that will lose you business. Plus your technicians didn't clean your mess up in the crawl space like they told me they did they're screws Lane about and zip ties. Should I submit pictures of that too?

  Please add this to the earlier portion of my complaint on ID ******** . If they would have submitted me ****** of the route they intended to take with the flex duct work I would have let them know right then that they were going to be an issue .

  1. Our company was not negligent in any way. We performed all of the work that we were contracted to do. It was approved and signed off on by our company and the customer at the completion of the work.

  2. We did request prints multiple times during the sales process, and we were rejected each time. Mr. ****** stated that the prints were not accurate due to changes made in the field that were not changed on the prints. I am not sure why he is stating that there are no prints for his home now. Certainly, he would have needed some sort of drawings to receive permits, estimates, etc.

  3. Our installer and install manager discussed all aspects of our installation beforehand, and then confirmed at the end.

  4. Mr. ****** was rude to my salesman via texts, which we have those messages saved as well. Mr. ****** did use inappropriate language with myself on the phone and hung up on me.

  5. We will not be back out to move ductwork that was discussed, agreed upon, approved, and signed off on by all parties involved. We will not pay someone else to move the duct work.

  10/14/22 airtron technician ****** installs the whole home humidifier and iwave. The humidifier doesn't turn on at night. 10/15/22 the whole home humidifier doesn't have any power to the unit! The unit is not powered on at all!! I want a full refund, $1475 immediately, the unit removed from my home and my return duct and water line repaired immediately. This business stole from us while trying to make our home better and profited from installing a non-operational whole house humidifier.

  I want to apologize for you initial experience with your new equipment. We sent one of our senior technicians out today as well as one of my service managers Seth. From my understanding, we were able to explain everything more in depth as far as the operation of the equipment goes. I am under the impression that you are satisfied with your purchase and Airtron. If I am incorrect with any of this please let me know and I will reach out personally to make sure that we meet your expectations. Thank you.
