We had our a/c and furnace replaced 8 years ago by Wilson and it has been horrible. We are now facing the purchase of a new system now because of the bungling that went on when they originally set up our system.\r
\r
First of all, when they installed our system we asked them to replace all of our hard ductwork in the attic and crawlspace - and we paid quite a bit for this work. They claimed that a section of the crawlspace could not be reached because the foundation walls cut off this part of the house. I have been under the house numerous times since then to fix plumbing issues and that part of the house is easily accessible.\r
\r
Second, they installed the system in late winter and the heat worked fine, but when it started getting hot the a/c fell down hard. It was 105 outside and 85 in our house with the a/c running 24 hours a day. We called and the representative of the firm claimed that the best we could hope for was a 20-degree difference between our house and outdoors. He was unfriendly, unhelpful and just plain mean on the phone with both me and my wife.\r
\r
We finally threatened to sue and called Trane to tell them that their system was being given a bad name. Trane sent out a rep with a Wilson tech and they fixed some problems with the way the system was installed, and we then had air that actually worked. Soon after we switched service companies and have had some maintenance needs but not too bad. However, we are now being told we need major maintenance work done because the drip pan was set up incorrectly, the fan and filter were not installed properly, and there aren't enough return vents, all causing the system to have a shorter life than expected.\r

When you buy something as big as a new air conditioning system, you try to pick the right system and someone you can trust. We made a big mistake with Wilson; I only wish I could have seen some of the reviews online that I see today. We would never use these people again.
