Over the years, I have had a 5 ton and two 2 ton ACUs replaced by this company. Having just recently bought a Lennox, I would have to say that a big part of the problem is that Trane equipmet is clearly not cut out for the South Florida environment. However, this company is horrible. I won't go through all of it, because there just isn't enough time. I will only go through the recent issue. 16 months ago, I had to replace an 8 year-old 2 ton Trane unit (yes, 8 years old, and it had to be replaced) that was also installed by this company. It has been repaired three times since then. The current problem is that when cooling (i.e., not when using the fan, or the heating element) it makes a really bad smell (I can't describe it, it is not familiar at all). Last week I had a repairman come (should I really have to waste time on repairs for a 16 month-old unit?), he said the condensation line was clogged, and if it didn't improve I should call and have a supervisor come out (Seems to me he wasn't really expecting his efforts to solve the problem). I had to wait until the next day to test, because it takes that long for the smell to dissipate. It didn't improve. I called Ranger, I was treated rudely by the woman who answered ("well, what does it smell like?" etc.), finally I was told that the supervisor would be here at 8am today. At 920am, I called their number, after a very long hold I got their answering service, and this woman took rudeness to a new level. She said she talked to the on-call serviceman and he know nothing about my scheduled visit. Probably because he wasn't the supervisor. She took my number and then hung up on me.
This is the kind of service I have experienced from this company. Rude, late, and incompetent. You shouldn't have to repair new equipment over and over, yet that has been my experience over 11 years and 3 central units with this company (OK, I should have cut the relationship after the first or second, but it's cut now...). Just a terrible company, and as I said, I think lousy Trane equipment doesn't make it better. My new Lennox is such an incredible improvement (although I won't use the company that installed it again either).
