The next day I noticed some vibration and pitching noise. when the unit is not cooling I heard a hummm noise on the electronicAccording the sales person they said it is normal, but the vibration noise needs be fixed with a new part on the fans. accept the explanation about the pitching noise because it is not normal on an electronic device that controls the compressor. contacting the supplier to fix the problem. My recommendation is stay away from this brand. Just to complete my review, the evaporator coil has damage and is scratched. When I called the supplier they told me, if the unit is not presently leaking, it is not a problem. How about the quality controlThey sell junk HVAC units? If somebody has the same bad

experience please let me know, because I will continue with my claim and report to the authorities about this brand. "Check warranty before buying" 5 year old unit. Had a stress crack in an elbow.

Had this installed to my furnace less than a year ago. worked one week, then no cold air. The contractor sent his staff over to fix it and turns out they did not install the correct thermostat. put a new thermostat on and it worked for one week, and now, again, noI have called the contractor and am trying to get this fixed,It is over 100 here and I have no A/C and paid over $3000 for theI wish I had read the reviews first - would not have purchasedThe contractor was recommended by my realtor but has screwed up so many jobs that she no longer recommends him. Name: hot and broke I was told that with a new furnace our electric bill would be cut inOur bill has doubled since the unit was installed. Summer is now here and we kicked on the AC portion of the unit - does not do a thing. The temperature in our house has risen, not fallen.

I have been the owner of my own business for 3 of those years, and do sell Armstrong equipment. I was very disheartened by the negative reviews on this brand. I have read most of the reviews and believe that it was poor installation and poor maintenance that was the cause of most of these issues. I cannot stress enough that a big decision in buying your next furnace or A.C. is not about the brand, so much as it is the company who you trust to install, service, and repairEvery HVAC brand will fail, that is a fact. That does not make it the brand's fault for failure. All the parts that make up the unit are not manufactured by well known brands like Rheem, Lennox, or Bryant but are manufactured by a third party company that sells their parts to any and all HVAC brands out there. I am not defending Armstrong, because they do not need defending. All I am saying is that I would install this in my own home, and I would not sell anything that I

couldn't say is good enough for me and my family. Location: Oklahoma City, OK Bought 2 complete systems. 4 years after installation one unit lost itsServicemen were not able to locate the leak. It leaked out again and the leak was located in the condenser coil. The 5-year warranty had just expired and the factory refused to repair it, even though it had failed prior to 5 years. I'm out $1100 to repair it. The other unit lost its charge after 6 years and found the condenser coil had a leak also. The factory said the warranty was expired and refused to help. Two systems and two bad coils. They now say they have increased the warranty to 10 years, but still refuse to help. Get real, this is a tube with fins on it. There are no moving parts. They either have a bad process or are using substandard parts. I'm going to be out another $800. The people who sold the units to me will eat the install cost. They say they will not sell the units again. Plan to report Armstrong to the EPA and Consumer Product.

Getting proper and certified techs installing your equipment is theLike one other person wrote, if the equipment is not properly installed, any brand will have a failure at some point. And if you think that something that takes the abuse your heating and cooling system does and last 10 years without any problems, your being a fool to begin with. I have Armstrong equipment installed 3 years and have had a bad capacitor on the condenser fan motor, so it's junk right?? Wise up people, get several estimates and a good tech pay the little extra for the right service and quit going with the cheaper bid. You will get what you pay for!!! "Split System Air Conditioner" After only 3 years and 11 month old, the compressor started to make noise. I wrote to Allied Air Enterprises and they said: The Warranty is good for parts only, but I have to pay for the delivery and transport and the installation and the labor, refrigerant, shipping charges or a
