I had called another highly ranked Yelp Trane business and their salesman tried to snow me with a ridiculously expensive quote (initially over $20,000) for a new Trane Heat Pump System for my 1,400 sq ft house, and who didn't listen regarding my issues with NOT getting cool AC into my bedroom and didn't tell me why my 8 yr old Trane failed. Luckily, I had requested an appointment with another Trane HVAC business, and that was Summit AC and Heating out of Buda, TX, who were highly reviewed on Google and Yelp. Rich with Summit AC and Heating listened to my two issues -- namely the lack of cool air going into my bedrooms, and Austin Energy having a power outage -- causing a power surge to destroy my coils in my heat pump and assured me that my new Trane heat pump wouldn't suffer another power surge ever again. He came up with a heat pump package, partial duct work replacement, the replacement of three moldy plenums in that attic, and adding two new surge protectors that met my needs and price point. And of course I am not happy that all new HVAC systems now cost more than double than what I paid in 2018, but this isn't just a Trane issue but with ALL HVAC BRANDS that has happened since the pandemic. (FYI, I got six quotes from Trane, Carrier, Bryant and Lennox heatpump dealers in the Austin area before settling on a Trane heatpump system and Summit AC and Heating). As for the install, Summit blew my socks off with their thoroughness and professionalism. The previous installer in 2018 left a mess in my garage crawl space and ignored a collapsed ductwork. The two Summit heat pump installers replaced two of my undersized ducts, replaced three new plenums boxes, added two new surge protectors (one to the air handler in the attic and to compressor outside), vacuumed up all the debris, garbage and nails left by other people who had worked in the crawl space over the years. The two new larger ducts they installed now give me cool airflow into all my bedrooms and the two surge protectors will ensure that an Austin Energy power outage, power surge or lightning strike will never blow out my heat pump coils ever again. I also bought a 10 year labor warranty to cover any high value repairs, which doomed my previous 8 yr old Trane, which was supposed to last 12 to 15 years. All in all, I highly recommend Summit AC and Heating, who were a pleasure to work with, especially now that my house is cool EVERYWHERE. read more
