Trutek
The middle of March 2026 we contacted Tru tech as well as other air-conditioning companies in our area to come out and give us an estimate on taking out the 6000 BTU mini split heads we had installed with the 18,000 BTU outside unit and upgrade them to 9000 BT is that we purchased brand new and rerun the lines because our original or Installer did not do a great job with the install. The estimator also said they needed to install pumps to run the drains outside. This quote was for a 600 square-foot Casita the main living area is 200 ft.² and the bedroom area which doesn't include the walk-in closet or bathroom is about 350 ft.² The beginning of April 2026 the installers came out we ran the lines and installed the two head units in the pumps which actually sit outside the wall mounted to my exterior wall, but whatever. The owner was very upset when they came out and tried to get us to pay more saying the estimator underbid the work. I told them no that's what we agreed upon and the contract that I signed going in for the Work. One week later after the install, we had two days worth of cooling and no AC shortly thereafter. They argued with us tried to charge us for coming out to estimate. Finally, they sent their tech out who said the issue was actually in our existing unit outside, which I found very interesting because they're Installer had disconnected the lines from that unit and rerun them and reinstalled them and pressure tested them and found no issues. They then came out two days later agreeing to fix the problem on the outside unit, but then their tech and their tech trainee went up in the attic and my husband could hear them speaking in Spanish talking about an issue in the lines in the head that went into the 200 square-foot room. They did whatever they did, we didn't get charged, we had consistent cooling and they left.
Fast-forward to July 9, the house started being 79, 80, 81, 82... slowly increasing as the temperature continue to rise. I called the company asked them to Warranty their work and they refused. They said if they sent somebody out, they would charge a service fee to look at it and then a further charge to repair any issues. "I can have someone out first thing in the morning to see what is going on. If you need someone to come out now, it will be a charge of $185 to see what is going on. What would you like to do?" I declined.
Today, 8/2/26, it's 109° outside and 87° in the 200 square-foot room in my Casita. Both windows and our front door and the window to our storm door are covered with reflectix. Directly across from the head unit reads 83.7. We're not able to sleep. I've had to purchase a portable evaporative cooler to carry around and we work from home and help care for two toddler grandchildren it's miserable. I do not recommend this company for any air-conditioning work whatsoever. Also, when you look under the condensate pump on the split unit, you'll see a line of rust running down my wall because it wasn't installed properly. Again, they don't Warranty their work stay away. read more
