Overpriced | $2,000+
We got a new air conditioner from Summers heating and air conditioning last May. They have come out multiple times between last summer and this summer. All for the same problem: my new air condihere have been so many excuses as to why it is not working. Today at 9:20 a.m. the tech lowered the thermostat to 66. The house was 70 from overnight air. He said it should take about an hour to lower a degree. At 10:03 a.m. the thermostat was still set to 66 actual temp of the house, 70. 12:47 p.m. the thermostat was still set at 66, house temp 70. At 1:30 p.m. it was still set at 66 and the temp of the house was 71.
Yesterday the house was set at 72 would go down to 74. I raised it to 74 trying to get it to turn off and it ended up being 79 in my house with the unit running non stop.
The excuses:
The unit wasn't sized right and we need a bigger unit
Outside unit dirty- cleaned. No change
We already cleaned all filters
New appliances aren't as efficient
Nipsco likes to limit the energy during the heat of the day so they don't have a brown out
We need a house dehumidifier
We need different size air vents
Duct work is too small
All air conditioners run 24 hrs
Isn't going to cool when it's hot out. (Literally what it's supposed to do)
Hot air leaking through windows and door
(Furnace has no problem in the winter and I haven't removed any of the weather stripping and window coverings from winter, so absolutely no drafts)
Sometimes the thermostat is a degree or 2 off
It's an old house- they don't cool down.
When I say our old unit that was 35 years old had zero problems, but they convinced us to get a new one saying it was leaking and had a crack in it... they say "they don't make em like they used to"
I have it set on 72. Not 65. It cools to 74° and continues to run. In the heat of the day it's 77° in the house with the thermostat still set at 72.
We had the air on for 4 days last month. Our Nipsco bill went up $80.00.
The bottom line is that I have a loan for
$11,053.00 for the new air conditioner that doesn't cool. 11 grand for a hot house.
Tomorrow? Another appointment set up and I'm gonna lose it of I hear any more excuses
