              Answered
              Climate Design came to my home on 1/31/23 to diagnose an intermittent problem I've had since I purchased the unit in 2019 (from a different company). The system will cool when it's set on heat mode. I've had technicians at my home several times and none could duplicate the problem. The Climate Design technician was able to duplicate it and wrote a very specific invoice detailing several issues. The invoice states I would need a defrost board, 7.5 motor starter, TXV replacement and all refrigerant replaced. The cost would be $2298.06 but if I purchased an Extended Labor Warranty for $2100.00, I could wait 90 days and have the repairs completed and IN WRITING states that any/all of the mentioned repairs would be free with the warranty. When I called on 2/9/24 to schedule the appointment to purchase the warranty and have the repair completed after 90 days, ******** stated they could not honor the Extended Warranty because the system was not working (except it is working). I was told someone would call me by the end of that day to discuss. Nobody called. I called again on 2/12 and ******** again told me someone would call me that day. Nobody called I finally received a call on 2/13 from ***** who stated it would be fraudulent to purchase the Extended Warranty because there is a problem with my unit. I stated it was fraudulent of them to offer it in writing and then not honor it. In the meantime, I had another AC company at my home, and they do not see the issues stated by Climate Design. They charged me nothing for the service call and confirmed some of these larger companies pressure their employees to push selling the Extended Warranties. I am simply wanting this to be on record that they have been dishonest in their dealings. Thank you.

              Elias Lou A

              02/26/2023

              On the Sept, 2022 install date.....several (nice) workers were present....the electrian complained that new wiring would "now' be needed costing extra. CD timely finished the install, including the running of the wires w/o extra cost. On Feb 9, 2023 I contacted CD related to: "lights dimming [harder than usual] when AC started". I sincerely felt that installing a $20 hard start kit would help. CD rep Ms. B. Robinson agreed that a hard start kit was a good idea.Amazon sell the kits at $15-$30 the telephone conversation ended, then Ms. Robinson immediately called back, declaring "error" on her part and that only CD could install the kit, if I installed the kit, the Labor Warranty becomes void however, CD can install the same at a cost exceeding $300. On 02/24/2023 the AC failed requiring a capacitor replacement and the AC began to operate, luckly I had a spare part! Being a Trane owner since early 2010s, my aging former tech sometimes could not live up to his 10 year Labor Warranty promise (60% of the time), but would at least provide me parts with instructions on how to install or wait days in a hot house. That being said because of my quick actions, not only is the AC currently working fine, circumventing the household to suffer "needlessly" in the heat until a tech could come out, perhaps on a Monday (breakdown on Friday night discovered). I contact CD about the above repair in which CD responed that I voided my Labor Warranty (parts remain effective). Furthermore, CD conveyed that no replacement capacitor would be shipped to me, by reason the "public" cannot be provided with AC parts. But, yet the same part sells on Amazon for $20. CD's prohibiting me to install a $20 hard kit concurrently pushing the same device at hundreds of dollars of its actually cost is clearly predatory in nature. Currently I have requested a medation hearing in Tampa crthse for this matter. This could become a long court battle
