The Lennox HVAC in my attic has developed a coil leak after just over 2 years of living in the home. Andy **, the contractor, installed and maintains the unit. Moreover, they registered my product, which I am not able to register. Only 6 months after the labor warranty has expired, the coil on the unit has developed a leak, requiring them to replace the coil at a cost of $1783.67. I find this to be outrageous. Lennox units have had previous problems with coil leaks. This is a known problem. Why is the company continuing to make products that don't last and cost people money? Andy ** states the part is under warranty, but I have to pay for the labor and Freon. They state that Freon is over 300.00 a pound. This is completely outrageous.

I installed a Lennox air conditioner a little over a year ago, but the compressor has now failed. Even though this unit is under warranty, and still manufactured, it will take 5-6 weeks to get a replacement. I live in Miami, and the temperature is in the mid to upper 80's. This is very poor product service from Lennox, leaving their customer hot and uncomfortable. Lennox should support the products they sell.

Was convinced to purchase Lennox air system by Eco-Air. Costly system but when it is working does great job. Unfortunately after having system a little over two year it has shut down four times all due to defective parts and the way it was built. The latest being a burnt out transformer due to wires shorting in panel on air pump. Thus needless to say over $700 in labor costs in this short time. Not right that because of their ill manufacturing the customer takes the burn.

My AC unit and furnace have now blown at only 4 yrs old. They have a great warranty so I wasn't too concerned, but it has now been over a month and my system is still not able to be fixed due to lack of parts available. I called Lennox directly because I didn't trust that my service provider was doing everything possible to get things moving faster and Lennox did nothing to help! Not the Lennox customer service reps fault, she was very friendly and wanted to help, there was just nothing that she could do. This company should be jumping to ensure that my unit is back up and running immediately, overnighting parts as far as I'm concerned, but that couldn't be farther from what I am experiencing. I regret going with a Lennox!

The compressor went out on my Lennox unit after just 5 years. Under their warranty, it is still going to cost more than $3,000.00 to repair. Look elsewhere. Lennox brand sucks. I wish I had purchased a brand that stands behind their product.

New construction home. Lennox Elite Series HVAC system installed. Today I had a Lennox premier service company tell me my compressor is shot and needs to be replaced. I spoke to Jacob in Consumer support and was informed that I should be happy that Lennox is providing me a new compressor. The problem is the installation and new Freon will be over $1000.00. My house is 13 months old. Do not buy Lennox! I never had a problem with my previous homes with HVAC issues in the first 5 years. DO NOT BUY LENNOX!

Less than 2 year old Merit Series ML14XP1 Heat Pump -> 3 x Failures in < 2 years = no heat in winter! Internal wiring of unit rubs against sheet metal causing shorts, each failure in a new location. Service technicians say this is a common failure: Wire is not well protected from factory.

Lennox products are very efficient. But the costs of product and repairs in my opinion make it a bad value. Have unit that just went out of warranty. Replaced blower 2 years ago. Went out again. Cost to replace was 1700. Dollars. They have one year warranty.. Next unit will be a Carrier.

At the end of June 2022 our (5 year old) heat pump failed due to a faulty coil. Our service vendor ordered a replacement coil which was under warranty on the same day. In mid September, the part still had not been delivered and our A/C was still not working. We live in Florida and it’s not okay to live without A/C. I ended up ordering a new system from York to replace the Lennox unit since there was no indication of when the part would be replaced. I had no recourse and no other possible solution. I took Lennox to small claims court and was unsuccessful in recovering any cost associated with the breach of warranty. I will never buy a house with a Lennox system or purchase a Lennox HVAC system.

We bought a new Lennox furnace in February 2021. It was working until this past Saturday. We called the installers and they came out to look at it & determined it was the gas pressure regulator valve that had gone out. Of course the local Lennox parts warehouse didn't have any in stock and when the part arrived, it was the wrong one! Once the correct part was received, the furnace still wouldn't work so the installers called Lennox and were told to replace the motherboard - which of course Lennox did not stock! Been without heat for close to a week now with no relief in sight - for a Lennox furnace that isn't even two years old yet!.

We spent $20K+ on an Air Conditioner condenser and a IComfort Wi-Fi thermostat from Lennox. Seven years later, both the condenser AND thermostat are dead and inoperable. Lennox has an opt-in requirement or else they deny extended warranty claims from years 6-10 - but fortunately we live in California where shady small print like that is prohibited so they have to cover the condenser part.
Yet, they discontinued our model of thermostat, and designed the next generation to cost $1300 and be proprietary, so they upcharge their customers once you are in the Lennox ecosystem. And to make matters worse, they make their thermostat incompatible with the previous generation, so we have to also buy, from them, a second in-zone thermostat for upstairs, to replace one that is totally operable, because they design their products to take advantage of customers for maximum profit. It’s obvious and terrible, and their customer service is as ineffective as their products. Avoid Lennox products at all cost.

My Lennox Air Conditioner coil was found to be leaking August 2022 by a local certified HVAC specialist. My system was in use for one year and likely was installed with a known faulty unit. There is history of Lennox providing faulty coils to their customers. It does not appear they are trying to fix this trend. It is leading to customers having to pay untimely labor and repair costs. Additionally, the amount of Freon lost to countless leaking coils has environmental and safety implications. Hopefully EPA is working to hold them accountable in this area. I have lost confidence in the Lennox company at this time.

If I could give these guys negative stars, it would be infinite. I've never waited on hold so long, so many times, and with NO call-backs when requested for a single issue. The reps (when you actually get ahold of them) are dismissive and unhelpful. I cannot in good conscience continue to be a distributor for their products as a result of the lack of ability to stand behind them. I will go out of my way to sell anything else but a Lennox product from here on out, and if the customer still insists, I'll be directing them elsewhere. I will absolutely NEVER do business with this low-rate, unable, useless, tiresome, worthless, infuriating company ever again.

I have a Lennox air conditioner that is 1 1/2 years old and needs a new evaporator coil. The cost will be $3,100 to replace evaporator coil and add refrigerate. I just discovered Lennox settled a lawsuit due to faulty evaporator coils. Had I know this, I would have bought another brand. I am extremely disappointed that I bought an expensive AC and less than two years later I have to replace the evaporator coil. Lennox told me it was uncommon to have faulty evaporator coil. Is there a way I can get added to the lawsuit?

There is no any error code on the control board. I did search through internet and did some test and looks like the motor control module has issues. I take the module to parts and try to test it, but I cannot find any technical documentations show the spec. of the 3 pin connector to motor. So there is no way to confirm this part is really bad or not. In the end I spent $456 bought a new module (It is a non-refundable part). Fortunately my bet is in the right side.

Had a whole house install done a year ago and Saturday evening came home to a 85 degree house. Checked the unit outside and the compressor and lines frozen. Called the install company and they couldn't get out until Monday. Not wanting to wait and knowing my way around A/C systems I removed the panel on the handler to have a look at the coil and discovered the glue that holds the insulation on the top panel had failed and the insulation fell on top of the coil. Naturally it caused the coil (with the insulation on it), lines, and compressor to freeze in a solid block of ice. Used a fan to thaw the ice catching as much of the water as possible, replaced the panel and started it back up and it worked.
First thing Monday the installation company shows up and inspect and takes photos. Tells me that it the labor warranty is days out but will contact Lennox to figure out how to repair. Meanwhile the condensation is dripping everywhere because the insulation is compromised and mold is starting to grow. They call me back and tell me that I will be responsible for the cleanup and repair. I call Lennox and they said that their handler can't create mold because they do not create water! LOL I asked why they put drains on them then. This company does not back their product and they will put you on hold for over an hour hoping you hang up.

In April of 2015, I purchased the Newest and Biggest Air Conditioner/Heat Pump Lennox made for residential housing. Highest efficiency and what I thought was the best quality in the USA. The unit always had to have the drain line cleaned out or it would shut off, and then in June 2020, the Coil went out. Part was under warranty, but I still had to pay for labor and for the cost of freon for this repair.
Now, 2 years later, the Coil again goes out. Yep, part is still under warranty, but not labor and freon. I live in Florida, and life is unbearable without AC during the summer. System went down on August 3, 2022 and part was ordered by my installing dealer on 8/4/22. Lennox gave them an arrival date of 8/26, over 3 weeks later. Hot, Humid for 3 weeks, I reached out to dealer who has been as nice as can be, to verify that the part will indeed be here the next day. Normally, Lennox doesn't give them a tracking number, so they called to verify the part was shipped. The answer was No, even worse, they were told that it was now going to be middle of September, and if we wanted the newer part that was made of Aluminum, instead of the Copper ones that originally came with it, we would wait for that till middle of October. Are YOU KIDDING ME?
I then contacted Lennox myself, explained that this is the 2nd time the coil has failed, and I can't live in "Florida" heat for 1-3 months without parts. I got the standard cookie cutter answer and the biggest Run Around in my life. My new solution? I ordered a NEW "CARRIER" Aircondition/Heat Pump that will be installed this coming Tuesday. I regret that I didn't do this early in August. I can only say to any potential customer, forget the OLD Lennox, as that company NO LONGER exist. The new Lennox will leave you poor and upset with the worst Product I've witnessed in Home Heating and Airconditioning in my 60 years. Customer NO MORE...

Purchased an AC unit through Costco in 2014. Two years into ownership we had to change a part in the air handler. On 8/15/22, the coil and compressor blew, and Lennox could not provide the parts even though the unit was still under warranty by 2.5 years. Because of that, I had to replace the unit and I could not afford another Lennox. They refuse to compensate me in any way even though they could not fix the unit because of the availability of the parts.

May 2022 is when we had our Lennox system installed. After two 2-3 Months in, our 4k air handler with 24k med Static (4)ducted unit, cannot cool down our home still. Does not blow enough air and or will slow down itself and not cooling down our 700 sqFt.. downstairs: example 100 temp outside 85-90 inside home, cooling temp set at 62 lowest with fan speed set in high.. SP (supply power) set at 4 max.. Have to Run cool all day to try and cool down. Electric bill has increased 4 times normal amount and system takes 10-12 hours to ramp up. By this time we are shutting it down..
Air blows less than a Foot out of vent. Original dealer went MIA after install and we tried communicating this several times but no response to get any help, dealer makes any excuse he can not to help or says nothing needs to be done. This is because of Lennox treating dealers badly we think. And because Two other Lennox dealers unwilling to help as well, either to busy and or knowing how bad Lennox dealer warranty department is and how the dealer told me I have to be the one to tell Lennox what’s wrong and jump through hoops to get them to approve work.
Not the dealers who would get compensated for the work but me the homeowner. As if I were getting a commission. What dealers don’t want to do for the homeowner argue with Lennox warranty department and the cost to do so to make things right for the homeowner.. Even though they have a special hotline with Lennox to do so.
Lennox and dealers are supposed to be on point when it comes to this you would think seeing as they have this wonderful warranty and an additional one they opt you to get through comfort shield/AIG. My confusion is if the dealers and Lennox work together why are they not for the homeowner and having the homeowner call and fight this out? We are still looking for help here. We do feel that Lennox is not acting in “Good Faith” and Not following California Contract laws per CSLB and contractors not following protocol Etc.. and it’s very bothersome seeing as we have a historic home. We will and are still waiting for a call from Consumer Affairs to resolve the matter..

My Lennox Air Handler stopped working on April 2022. The air handler was built on 2016. A normal air handler should work around 15 years, but mine worked 6 years, which is just 1 year after the 5-year warranty. It is pretty clear how terrible the product quality is. Originally, I trust Lennox and thought it should be a small problem and still manageable, but my trust became a nightmare. Finally, I paid thousands to replace a new one after several rounds of repairs.

I will never in my life purchase from this horrific company ever again. I've only had this system for ONE YEAR and it stopped working due to a leak. It cost me $1035 to replace with the coolant that leaked out, labor, and this is with finding a stop for the leak! I didn't even have to get new coils which would have been way worse.

My unit is only 15 months old (moved in April 13,2021) and has been having issues cooling since March 2022. The original Installer (house was a new build house) came and worked on it looking for leaks and couldn’t find any in house so they changed the outside coils in June. That didn’t fix the problem. They came back this week August 1 and said it was the TVX controller, BUT there aren’t ANY in the USA and they have no idea when there will be any for at least 2 months minimum. On top of that, the repair company wants to charge me the labor of $1600 to fix it…if it ever comes in because it took them beyond the warranty date to find problem.
I paid another company for a second opinion who told me if they ordered the indoor coils it would have that part on it and that the Lennox warehouse had plenty of those. So. I am going to have to pay $1600 out of pocket because it took them beyond the 12 months to fix it and there is a part available that could fix my problem but that appears not to be an option. So, here I am with my family which includes my 93 year old mother in the hottest part of the year in NC with minimal AC and sometimes no AC. This has to be one of my worst warranty calls in my 66 years. On top of all of this, I can’t confirm if my warranty was registered. I think I did it a year ago because I always submit my warranties.
However, with these issues happening I decided to make sure. Couldn’t find a way to confirm or anybody to confirm so I tried to re-enter and resubmit. System says I can’t submit because the build date is after my move in date. WHAT? I know how long I have lived here. I called Lennox and their very nice customer service person also said the build date was a year after I moved in. Transferred me to another area which, as happens so often with most companies, they disconnected me. This all been such a fiasco.

In 2016 we installed a Lennox AC Unit for the upstairs and a Packaged Unit for the downstairs. We have a 10-YR Warranty. We have an annual maintenance contract for the HVAC units.

Now in 2022, the downstairs Package Unit coil must be replaced. Labor to install, plus other expenses will be $1,800. It’s now been 7 weeks and we are told the coils are backordered with no estimated time for delivery. In the meantime, it’s 80+ degrees downstairs.

Last summer (July 2021) our A/C unit stopped blowing cold air. Upon further inspection it was discovered that the evaporator coil was leaking. Due to Covid affecting supply we were without a/c for about 6 weeks because the parts were on back-order. In South Texas on average the temperatures reach almost 100 degrees or more everyday in the summer, and having three children it was absolutely miserable.
Now today July 28, 2022 my a/c stopped working and again it is the evaporator coil! It is 2 weeks past the 1 year warranty and Lennox could care less. I tried calling multiple times asking for any type of remedy but they will not. I will have to spend almost another $2,000 for another faulty evaporator coil at no fault of my own. So every summer I guess I'll have to replace the evaporator coil? For some reason Lennox keeps making these poorly designed parts and installing them and no one holds them accountable. I read that there was a major lawsuit and payout in 2015 due to faulty evaporator coils. Someone should investigate them again because they clearly have not fixed the problem. I will never buy a Lennox again and I will warn anyone against buying one as well.

My AC broke last year. Luckily, my home owner's warranty sent a contractor and installed a brand new air-conditioner unit. They installed the Lennox air-conditioner. This year, the AC broke again. The inspector said that it's the compressor and it was a factory defect. Luckily, it is still under the manufacturer warranty. He said he has to send the picture of the compressor and get a new one from the manufacturer so he can install it. It has been three weeks of over 90 degree, 100% humidity, mid July in Mississippi. I have been following up with the contractor every week. Every time I call them, they say they are waiting for the part to be shipped from the Lennox manufacturer and that they will let me know when the manufacturer ships it.
Last week when I got to speak to the manufacturer customer service, they said that they are waiting for the contractor to sign a paper. When I called the contractor, they said they have not heard or gotten any pending paper to sign. Are you telling me that I have been living in my house in dire condition because you guys couldn't communicate like you're superposed to? Now the contractor says that she is not able to be in touch with them. I have been trying to call the manufacturer customer line, but they keep you on hold for hours only to hang up. If they pick up the call, they say that they are not authorized to give the information on the parts. This is infuriating and unacceptable. My house will be degrading with mold every day.

Extremely poor “Customer Support” or should I say absolutely NO support at all. Purchased a 12K BTU Mini-split system in 2017. It only worked for 2 ½ years before it failed. According to their warranty policy, I’m forced to call a Lennox “Authorized Dealer” who attempted to fix it while building up a labor cost of $1500 CDN, but the unit was never repaired. The “Main Board” was replaced twice, the compressor was replaced and the indoor control unit was also replaced. Nothing worked.
So, I called Lennox Customer Support and after weeks of email correspondences, their only consistent reply was “Keep working with the Dealer”, which translates to “Spend more money to a dealer who has not been able to repair it in over 2 years”. Clearly, Lennox needed to intervene, but when I asked for their help, they just simply ignored my pleas. This is a company that does not stand behind their products, so if you are a lucky one that has a unit that actually works for more than 2 ½ years, great. But if the unit turns out to be an irreparable “Lemon”, don’t count on Lennox to help.

My new home was installed with a Lennox Air Handler System that is now inoperable due to the evaporator coil going bad. The coil is defective due to the copper parts corroding.

However, that lawsuit (which was settled) does not apply to my specific product. Now I am faced with having to purchase a new system with no help from the manufacturer who intentionally sold and benefited from their cheap products.

I purchased a very expensive HVAC system about 3 1/2 years ago, it was a Lennox product. About 4 weeks ago, the system malfunctioned. I contacted the service dealer who installed the product and had been maintaining it for service. I was told that the coolant leaked out because there was a faulty soldering joint. I contacted Lennox and was connected to someone in customer service who robotically continued to tell me that it wasn't covered under the warranty as it wasn't a part. I attempted to explain numerous times that it was a manufacturing defect in the soldering job. I asked to speak to a manager and was only able to leave a message.
As of this writing about 3 weeks later I have not received a call back. I found Lennox's Facebook page and posted the situation. I received a comment back asked me to send a private message with the information about the system and someone would help me. I sent the private message and someone did write back to me stating they wouldn't help me, then proceeded to delete my message from their Facebook page. I wrote a subsequent message and it was never posted, so their followers think that they helped me with the problem. I had to pay over $1,200. to remediate their manufacturing defect. They do not stand behind their products and do not care that they are manufacturing inferior products.

Poor customer service that don’t keep warranty information updated thereby making it impossible to apply for warranty through its dealers even though it’s valid. My system was installed in a brand new house in 2105 but we were the first buyers in 2017. Warranty is effective but Lennox won't proactively fix the warranty end date in their system even though I provided builder paperwork. As a result dealer can’t validate warranty through their system and won’t schedule the repair. Lennox won’t allow me to call on behalf of the dealer. The dealer refuses to make a second call. I am stuck in a Catch 22 and while Lennox says it’s ‘understands’, it won’t allow me to get the under warranty parts unless the dealer calls since customer is not allowed to order the parts! I will not buy a LENNOX product for the ridiculous reasons I got from them … They are dishonest.

Lennox won't work under warranty - it expired not to say that the new evaporator was only 8 years old - installed under recall in 2014 or late 2013. Original installing dealer do not work with Lennox any more. It will cost me a much and I will not go with Lennox. Wish I know that before I purchased my brand new home from reputable builder with Lennox a/c product. Stay away from Lennox product. Product is bad and practical warranty even worst.

Just over 5 years and my top of the line Lennox icomfort thermostat has died. The 1.5F capacitor inside has leaked all over the electronics inside. This has happened just outside the warranty period. This thermostat was multiple times the price as a google nest or other wifi thermostat, so I would expect it to last a lot longer. I have contacted Lennox and they will not replace it or give me a discount on a new unit. I believe the thermostat was $700, and when I purchased it, I bout a gas furnace, heat pump, and electronic air filter all at the same time. with installation from one of their distributors. For a failure like this it has most likely affected many users, and should be recalled in my opinion. It looks like the capacitor has been leaking for quite a while.

ML195 95% Furnace failed after 8 years and 34 days. Repair was not an option given the amount of deterioration and rust. During the life of this product several parts have failed and were replaced. I contacted Lennox consumer affairs regarding any available warranty and of course none available. In my opinion this unit should not have failed in such a short period of time.

I've been an HVAC technician since 1991. Lennox equipment seems to be constructed ok but good luck to you should you have an issue with residential equipment. I have screen shots that I would be happy to share of being on hold with Lennox support trying to deal with a customer's warranty issues for over 2hrs without getting to even talk to a representative. My customer continues to deal with a gas valve issue on a new furnace in -30 degree celsius weather. Time on hold with tech support on this issue alone is now up to 3.5hrs so far without resolve. We don't get paid to sit on hold - can't spend much more time trying to help this customer and they really shouldn't have to be paying for any of this repair.
I was told by the local wholesaler that I would be able to leave a call back number with another "updated phone number". Same result - so frustrating. No other manufacturer leaves us hanging like that. So glad we didn't do the installation because I would be so embarrassed right now. Good thing Lennox is good at marketing.

I moved into my home in 2013. The home was built in 2004. The original AC unit was with the home when we purchased it, and we didn't need to replace it until 2018. We decided to go with the Lennox unit because we were able to get financing through Costco. We thought we were purchasing a long-lasting unit for our home. The joke was on us.
That was April of 2018. Every single year since we'd have to have Red Cap (their maintenance company) come out and service our unit. At least one time in the year the unit stops working and we have to have it flushed with hot water to get rid of the mildew. Red Cap claims this is normal for FL but I'd never heard of this in all our years living here.
Therefore, it was no surprise in December of 2021, when all of a sudden the unit stopped working. We expected another flush was needed and called the guy out to do the usual work. Except this time, he said the coolant was low and we likely had a leak. We paid the $250 to have him check just to confirm that yes, we needed a new coil at a whopping $1,600 cost! I am not even done paying off this $7,000 unit, but suddenly it's costing me $1,600 to replace a coil?
While my husband is talking to the guy, I pulled up our original invoice which included the warranty info. Sure enough, "parts and coils" have a 10 year warranty according to the document we were given by Red Cap when it was installed. My husband took that out to the service guy and the service guy tells him "yeah, the part is covered under warranty, but the $1,600 is for labor. Normally it's $3,000 without warranty." WHAT? $1,600 for labor to remove and replace a coil? The entire unit was $7,000 and that included pulling out and discarding the old indoor and outdoor units. So how on earth is labor to replace a COIL $1,600?? Oh and get this, we had to pay for the "labor" in advance in order for them to order the "covered" part/coil.
It's unusually hot here in FL for December and we can't go without AC when it's up to 85 every day. So we had no choice but to pay the $1,600 to get the ball rolling so we could get the part ordered to fix this ASAP. I'm livid that a 4 year old AC unit has major parts breaking when I haven't even finished paying it off. I'm sick and tired of service people telling us "oh yeah they don't make ____ like they used to." Stop buying cheap parts for your systems then. Give us quality products that work and last!

I bought the top of the range Lennox high efficiency furnace at the recommendation of my furnace company, assuming reliability at the price I paid. Instead I got a lemon. Despite being the most expensive one, the secondary heat exchanger literally burst with corrosion after only 4 yrs. I had it serviced every year. Meant to last 15-20 years. It literally spews out acid and carbon monoxide over the system and onto the floor. They are not accountable for their quality and do not give an explanation. Lennox will never replace the furnace but want the whole thing stripped down, and don’t care about collateral damage. I will not be looking at Lennox again.

REASONS TO NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM LENNOX OR CRISAFULLI BROTHERS. Below is a four page timeline of warranty issues, cover ups, "training opportunities," communication issues and poor customer service on the part of Lennox and their local sales reps. Based on my experience with them, their lack of follow through, lack of an appropriate response to our situation, their inability to say "We're sorry" or "How we can make this right," I will never buy from either of them again or recommend them. On their website, they "guarantee outstanding customer service," their actual practice of dealing with customers couldn't be farther from the truth.
8/15/20 COVERUP #1: WITHHOLDING INFO THAT EXPERTS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT. Salesperson will give you a proposal for a new AC system but never once mention you will need protection from rodents because rodent damage is not covered by the warranty.
8/15/20: TRAINING OPPORTUNITY #1 DISHONESTY AND UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR. A year later, the salesperson said on the phone (8/20/21) that yes, it would be a good idea going forward to mention this in their sales pitch and; their head technician, after saying how great interdepartmental communication was and how they don’t work in a silo, contradicted him on the phone (8/24/21) saying that it was never their responsibility! Really? What about doing the right thing? Why is it ok to withhold information that would benefit the customer?
8/15/20 HUSTLE #1: LACK OF OVERSIGHT AND COMMUNICATION. Cost Proposal will include a “Quality Audit” that was never performed and for which there is no description of what it is, who does it, or proof that it was done.
8/15/20 HUSTLE #2: WITHHOLDING REQUESTED INFO. The cost proposal was not done as a line item - just one lump sum so that buyer does not know what they are paying for.
8/18/20 COVERUP #2: WITHHOLDING WARRANTY INFORMATION Salesperson offered to complete warranty registration paperwork but never provided us with the warranty until a year later, and only after numerous emails (4?) and phone calls (2) to mfg and dealer.
8/13/21- TRAINING OPPORTUNITY #2 LINE STAFF DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS TO NECESSARY WARRANTY INFO, NOR DO THEY KNOW HOW TO GET IT. When I called Crisbro to request information, Briann in billing first said the warranty registration is still open! I said how can that possibly be when Cyle said he would do the paperwork? She said she would transfer me to the warranty dept but actually transferred me to her own voicemail instead and the line went dead. She called me back to say she would email me the registration info which is also the warranty info. I said no, they are two different things and she said she didn’t know the difference. So, she put me on hold and said she would check with installation dept.
She returned to say that she will send me a copy of the invoice and registration info and email Cyle directly and ask him to contact me right away. I said that I had received those but still don’t have written legal warranty document. I forwarded my “Dustin email” asking for the warranty info to Cyle (since Dustin never answered it) and asked him to call me at his earliest convenience.
8/13/21 CS TRAINING OPPORTUNITY#1 UNFRIENDLY CUSTOMER SERVICE. 4:30 P.M. After 35” hold I am talking with Javier at lennox who asked for model and sn’s and then said the company should have sent me the registration info. He had to put me on hold to find the documentation for these units. He explained that he had to put in a request to have these docs emailed to me. When I explained that the dealer did not provide any of these for 10 months and that I wasn’t happy, I asked for comment. Crickets. “They should have given that to you.” When I said lennox and dealers were like the wall of blue that police have, sticking up for one another, again crickets. He was not personable or helpful. Very robotic.
RECEIVED REGISTRATION INFO 10 MONTHS LATE FROM BRIENNE, CYLE, (8/16) AND LENNOX. THIS PROVES THEY DON’T COMMUNICATE.
INACCURATE INVOICING: Invoice # ** (received 10 months late on 8/13) only has two indoor evaporator units, should be three.
Inability to discern difference between real warranty and a description of it, strongly suggesting that they willfully kept it hidden for nefarious purposes. Cyle sent this “warranty” on 8/16.
AVOID RESPONSIBILITY PURPOSEFULLY. Sean ** inspected wiring system on 10/5 because we called about an error code. No mention of mice then or what to do about them should we get them. Later when we tried complained about mice being their responsibility, they claimed that annual inspection was the way to deal with that.
THEY DON’T CARRY SPARE PARTS FOR WHAT THEY SELL AND CAN’T GET THEM FOR TWO MONTHS (SINCE JULY 24) AND COUNTING… 48 days as of today, 9/11.
Lennox "customer service" dept ignored my email appeal four times and still have not responded to legitimate questions about the lack of quality service. I obtained a case # ** on July 26 see attached email from Selena S.
Lennox customer service builds a wall between customer by using form letter statements to respond to my original request to deal with the pest problem. They said to deal with the issue I need to do annual inspections - on a new unit! Illogical. Impractical. What a joke!
Staff are slow to respond if they respond at all, and respond with empty promises to do something helpful. A month later and we were still waiting for help. Dustin ** ignored my email #1 to him with suggestions for ways to address the problem. Asked for more time to speak to management. We waited over a week, no response, called and left message on a Thursday to return call, got a call back the following Tuesday. Email #2 of August 13 to Dustin asked for the paperwork that we had asked corporate for, and asked Crisbro office staff for and still had not received.
CRISBRO REFUSES TO GIVE ITEMIZED INVOICES SO THAT YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR. See 8/16 email from Cyle.
CRISBRO saleforce ignores reasonable requests for information despite repeated emails.
Crisbro staff do not communicate clearly or with one another enough to coordinate the dissemination of info requested by the customer. E.g., 8/17 email from Cyle stating he would send all paperwork and manuals and implying that he had the parts when he didn’t.
WARNING LANGUAGE IS PRINTED ALL OVER THE ACTUAL WARRANTY. It outlines what the consumer must do to satisfy the warranty and be in compliance. It would appear that this info was withheld by the vendor to put us at a disadvantage should a warranty issue ever arise.
LENNOX DOES NOT HONOR THEIR OWN WARRANTY. Coverage explicitly states that parts will be covered due to a manufacturing defect. Building a Unit that allows rodents to infest the unit is defective; so too is not alerting the customer to this possibility so that something could be done proactively.
COVERUP #3: CRISBRO WILL SEND A USED UNIT AND CLAIM THAT IT IS NEW. They installed a unit that was built in 12/19. Another contractor called the manufacturer on our behalf. It COULD BE older (09) since there is confusion as to what S/SN to use.
In summary, while there may be a few good people in both Lennox and Crisafulli Brothers, their overall poor customer service, culture of obfuscation and deceit, lack of communication between and among their own staff, the customer and the parent company, Lennox, adds up to my never wanting anything to do with either company ever again.

I had this heat pump and air handler installed on 10/13/21. Previously I had a Trane unit which lasted 18 years with hardly any issues. I decided to give Lennox a try because of the name recognition and good reviews. Wow, I am really disappointed with this unit as it did not work from the day it was installed. After the installer left the air did not stop at our intended target of 77 degrees and it was under 70 degrees when we woke up in the morning. I tried shutting down the unit but it wouldn't turn off. Tried putting on the heat but that didn't work. Another technician came out on Saturday and said the wiring was not installed properly and tried correcting the error. Well, at the end he said it was the board that was damaged and they needed to order the new part. A new unit should not be allowed to come out of production with these type of damages. A new board, REALLY? I should have gone with Trane and regret my decision at this time.

We purchased our Lennox Mini Splits five years ago. Our city offered a nice rebate program as did the chain warehouse we purchased it from. Win Win, or so we thought! We have four headers for our tri-level home. We were told that the one Lennox heat pump could handle up to four units running at the same time. Do they really? NO. We have found that we can only run two header units at the same time. With four units on, efficiency diminishes to the point of uselessness. However, the worst is this: Lennox makes a very unreliable mini split system. We have now had two repairs within five years.
The first repair was needed two years after installation. The heat pump fan was incredibly noisy. I thought that was 'normal'. I inquired about why this was so and was told it likely needed to be replaced. Once the fan was replaced, it ran quietly. It was apparent then that the original heat pump fan was defective. Of course, after two years, everything was Out of Warranty. The cost to repair fan and then drain and refill fluid? $700!!
The second repair was for a special part that is a pressure valve (or something called that)..that failed. It only affected one header unit in our bedroom. The other three still worked. Replacing that part also required draining all of the fluid, weighing it and replacement. The total bill for that was over $1,300! Five years and two expensive repairs. Remember too, that yearly professional maintenance is recommended.
Each time a repair has to be done on the outside heat pump, fluid must be drained and refilled. That is the most expensive part. Be sure when you decide to purchase a mini split system to do your homework. Our Heating/AC repair guy said from what he knows, the brand, 'Carrier' is the most reliable. Apparently there can be issues with other brands, too. But my neighbor has a 'Mitsubishi' and has not had any problems, even after four years. If you need four header units, inquire about installing a second heat pump.

Parts, thus far, have been under warranty, though labor and Freon have cost us over $1500 a year. So far this summer, both units have been charged, we’ve had a leak test, a fan motor has gone out, and today the blower motor has gone out. As soon as the warranty ends, we’ll have no choice but to replace.

Lennox moderated reviews on their own website. I encourage you to attempt to post a review before even buying a product. They will state any reviews talking about customer service or defective equipment will be removed!! Because of how the Google algorithm works the rating for Lennox provided by google is based on their own moderated reviews and entirely unreliable. I thought I was getting a product rated 4/5 stars only to find out that isn't true.
I can sum up all Lennox reviews with my experience. I had heard Lennox used proprietary parts that were often hard to obtain quickly unlike the other manufacturers where parts were interchangeable. This gives the illusion that Lennox has a superior product but I'm not certain this is true. They have a class action lawsuit about defective coils. 1 month after my brand new Lennox unit was installed the evaporator coil cracked. I live in Texas and this happened in the height of summer essentially making my house unlivable. Lennox does not have this particular coil in stock and can't ship out a new one for weeks.
I'm basically in a situation where I can't get a new unit because I just paid for this one, and my installer can't get any other coil because they have to use a Lennox one. Lennox won't let my installer use any of the other Lennox coils they have in the warehouse. I think Lennox is fine, the proprietary parts issue coupled with the excessive number of coil failures well documented on the internet is a big issue. You are essentially playing Russian roulette by buying one of their systems. I don't really see the benefit of them over a Trane or Carrier where this wouldn't be an issue.
One aspect of customer service I also found to be poorly thought out - consumer customer service does not talk to the warranty department. The warranty department only talks to licensed HVAC companies. If you call consumer customer service they can't tell you when your coil will ship or give you any updates, and if you call the warranty department they won't talk to you. I found that a little absurd. I don't think I'd buy a Lennox again after this experience.

It was a hot weekend. The Tech man stated that the blower motors all fail within 2 - 3 years and are only covered under the original warranty. After that the cost will increase by at least $1,000.

My spouse and I purchased new home construction hoping to avoid costly repairs for at least 10 yrs. I suppose we were naive. Two years after moving in, the A/C stopped cooling on the main level. The repair technician discovered the refrigerant level low and traced the leak to the indoor cools. Although the model unit (ML180UH) is under warranty, labor cost to repair comes at about $1700, which is a little more than the cost of the warranted parts.

I never write reviews! And I rarely read them b/c I always feel they tend to fall into two categories: a reviewer writes an overly positive in exchange for some kickback, or a reviewer writes a spitefully negative one. So which is this one? A therapeutic one ... my last effort in dealing with this problem(s). I bought these units (2) on the recommendation of the installer eight years ago. In the course of the 8 years I have to replace the evaporate on both units, and the fan and motor on one unit. The evaporated issue was part of a class-action lawsuit that I found out about too late, Lennox was not willing to help me out issue ... Bad timing, but no good faith effort on Lennox part. The installer felt bad and only charged me for the parts, so the extra cost me was another $2k.
The motor+fan is another bad design decision by Lennox. The motor which is typically a $200 part on most A/C unit was designed in such a way that you can't replace the motor without the plastic fan. So in Lennox world the replacement part jumps to $700. I am guessing the second unit will have the same problem shortly. My recommendation is to stay away from this brand. I recommended the installer to a friend and as the industry works, the installer of course also pushed Lennox. After talking to him, he experienced similar failures with his Lennox units. Good luck, and I hope your experiences are better than mine.

I purchased what was described a a 'Top-Of The Line" Lennox furnace with variable motor blower and a 4-ton high-efficiency A/C system in April, 2014. January 2021 - had to have a new Motherboard installed into the furnace. Cost me $200 in labor. April 2021 - had to have an entire brand new indoor coil installed on the A/C system - the 7 year-old coil had sprang a freon leak. Cost me $725 in labor. $725+ $200 = $925 in labor to repair a system that is only 7 years old. Do the math. That is $132 per year in maintenance costs for this piece of crap. I have written to their "Consumer Affairs" Department and sent them all of the repair receipts. Not a peep from them. Crickets. Lennox is a cheap brand. Poor engineering. Poor quality control. And NO Customer Service/Feedback from their Corporate H.Q. I highly suggest that you do NOT buy a Lennox product. Go with either a TRANE or a CARRIER, but do NOT go with a Lennox product.

Coil on the outside condenser unit leaked and was useless. One month later, coil on the inside unit leaked. Both problems were attributed to weak brakes which, over time, became weaker until broken. To me, Lennox used to be a no-brainer #1 choice. Not after this. Now we have to spend 5k for a new A/C unit.

If you live in Canada buy CARRIER as they have hundreds of companies that sell their products as well as have available parts. They also stand behind their product. Lennox in the city of Calgary has apparently two companies that have parts in stock. My furnace quit working on a Friday evening and I called a service man who did not have the part but said he could go to the Lennox part store on Sat. Here it is April and the parts store is no longer open on weekends for companies to pick up parts and no emergency phone # available until the next business day.
I spoke to a plumber who advised that this same situation happened to them in January when the weather was a lot colder. Equipment aside who wants it if the service isn't there at a time when it is most needed. Why would Costco promote these products with service like this? We pay more for Lennox products and also pay more for service call in my case with limited companies to choose from the difference was more than $50.00 for an emergency call out compared to other companies. As I have had both Carrier and Lennox products in the past I don't see where Lennox is any better quality. You decide but I am not convinced their product is any better than anyone else namely Carrier!

I've had my Lennox for a little over two years. From the start the outside unit had been terribly noisy when running. There are times it gets louder and sounds as if a helicopter is overhead. It is right by my bedroom and I can't sleep with it going. I leave it off and I get really cold because the noise is so loud. I have had the installing company out on several occasions and have had them listen to the noise(I record it). They have installed a new shroud twice (the most recent in December) saying that is what is causing the noise and it still is not fixed.
I had someone from a company listen to the sound and he told me that it sounded like the bearings or something else was loose and knocking, When I told the installing company they said that was not the problem. With this cold weather, it has become unnerving listening to this noise and I still don't run it while I'm sleeping. I am a senior citizen and never have had to endure anything like this and it has cost me my peace and ability to enjoy my home.

Had installers come out and check tripping breaker. Found compressor had failed. Quoted $2897.00 just in labor to change part (under warranty). Found A person to change part for $500.00.

How come, I as the legal owner have NO control of the equipment I OWN. What does it matter if I return and exchange the part? What does it matter to Lennox what I actually do with the new part? Surely it’s up to me how I use my warranty part? I understand there will be NO warranty on new part if a “non accredited HVAC tech." does the job.
Bottom line is. Why do I have NO say or input on the product (which I own) part warranty which I paid for? Do I not have any rights on this $1500.00 part. How in all that is holy does it cost $3000.00 to change said compressor? I was quoted $3000.00 to change the whole heat pump for another make. Maybe I should dump the Lennox product completely.

Specifically, on December 05, 2015, I went to Home Depot to purchase a new Lennox Air Conditions/Heat System, with an SEER of 21. This was essentially the top of the lone model in which I invested approximately $11,000.00 for the purchase and installation of a completely new Lennox system in my house. Included with this investment, was a Lennox “iComfort Wi-Fi Universal 7-day Programmable Modulating/Multistage heat/cool/auto w/ humidity Internet accessible.” Model: 103445-04, Serial Number: WS15J03170. Long story short, the aforementioned Lennox IComfort Thermostat has become inoperable within the past two (2) weeks, thus, I have no heat. This is problematic, as me and my wife are both disabled, and in our sixties.
The following authorized Lennox service company was contacted: Cochran, (770) 648-2804, **, located in the Atlanta, Georgia area for service. The aforementioned Lennox iComfort Thermostat was determined to be defective as the display screen has progressed to a totally blank screen over the past two (2) weeks. Troubleshooting solutions were attempted, with no success. Thus, I was informed by “Alex,” the Parts Manager for Cochran that the Lennox iComfort Thermostat required replacement. Although the Lennox iComfort Thermostat is still covered under a five (5) year parts warranty, I would be responsible for any labor charges incurred to replace the defective Lennox iComfort Thermostat.
Upon Cochran contacting Lennox in Dallas, Texas, it was determined that this Lennox iComfort Thermostat is no longer available, as it is no longer manufactured. Therefore, the defective unit would have to be replaced with a newer version of Lennox Thermostat. I believe it may be the “S” model? Yet, after “Alex” ordered the replacement Lennox Thermostat, order number: 0031730438, he was informed by Lennox that this newer replacement Lennox Thermostat was currently unavailable, due to a back order status, with shipment not expected until on or about December 01, 2020. Moreover, although I would incur no charge for the upgrade, which includes a new “hub” and/or circuit board, it would cost me $297.00 in labor fees due to additional wiring and time.
In the meantime, I contacted Lennox Customer Service and Lennox Consumer Affairs Department several times, Case Numbers: **. The intention was to determine if Lennox could place a priority on the replacement Lennox Thermostat as I have no heat availability without a functional Lennox Thermostat. This proved futile. I essentially got the run-around, and Consumer Affairs Department (Katheryn) was unsympathetic, insensitive, and basically had a could less attitude. I even requested to speak a supervisor, in which “Katheryn” connected me, and I received a voice mail, leaving a detailed message, along with a return telephone number. To date, the supervisor has failed to call me or Cochran to coordinate/expedite replacement. Moreover, I was placed on “hold” for over one (1) hour waiting to be connected to the Lennox Consumer Affairs Department.
In conclusion, I am very disappointed and upset the way I was treated by Lennox personnel. Additionally, no progress has been made to obtain a replacement Lennox Thermostat, and I’m back to square zero. This is perplexing and not customer friendly, and sends a negative image of Lennox on backing their warranty products.
I am therefore requesting that you please direct this e-mail to upper management to inform them of exactly how their customers are being treated. I’m sure this attitude will eventually have a negative effect on Lennox sales and their image. Additionally, I am requesting intervention in resolving this matter, especially since I have no heat with a non-functional defective Lennox iComfort Thermostat. Hopefully someone further up the chain will be able to assist me and the Lennox service dealer, Cochran, in obtaining the newer Lennox Thermostat in a expedited manner.

We bought a Lennox central air conditioner system (model number XC14S036-230A09) in August 2016 from a contractor in Montreal, Quebec. In both June and September 2019 the unit stopped working. According to the contractor, the refrigerant had escaped because there was a leak in the system. He refilled the system with refrigerant and, as it was late in the year, he told us to contact him in April 2020, to do a nitrogen split test on the compressor. This was done and we're told there was a leak in a location that could not be repaired. A new compressor was supplied and fitted under warranty in May, and we were told the unit was working properly.
On July 28, 2020 the unit stopped working again, at the start of an extended period of high heat and humidity in Montreal. We were now told the inside coil had to be changed; we waited for over five weeks in the high heat and humidity for a new coil to arrive under warranty. The contractor was not able to tell us where exactly the leak was, or how it could be found. He referred us to Lennox, and we contacted their corporate customer care team in Texas. They asked us to send all the invoices, which we did. We also asked two questions:
1. What are the industry practices for finding a leak in the system?2. What is the toxicity of the refrigerant gas we may have been inhaling if the leak is inside the house.
They came back to us with a generic and non-committal reply saying that after they sell their units to the contractors, they have no responsibility except for supplying defective parts under warranty. They referred us back to the contractor and did not answer either of the two questions we had asked. We have spent over two thousand dollars since 2019 for refrigerant and labor costs, but the more important concern for us is that we may have been inhaling the refrigerant all this time if the leak was inside. Based on this experience, we are very disappointed with Lennox. As we have no confidence in the system we will not use it anymore, and we will certainly not buy any more Lennox products.

Now 2 years later 9/2020 I am having to replace the motors on the fan units. I never had a single issue with my Carrier units in the 18yrs they were in service....not one. Let me emphasize this, BOTH OF MY NEW LENNOX "ELITE" UNITS FAILED AT THE SAME TIME! Two years into service and my new Lennox "Elite" units need to have the fan motors replaced.
The service tech who comes out to repair the units tells me he carries no less than 6 replacement motors in his truck on any given day. He said the fan motors are junk. He said in the last ten years he has replaced dozens and dozens of fan motors. He said the motors for ALL HVAC manufacturers are made by one company in China. He said it doesn't matter if it's a Carrier, Lennox, Goodman or Trane. If they were manufactured in the last ten years they all use the same motor on the fan. He said the motor burn out is a known issue by the HVAC contractors who sell the systems. They make a huge mark up on the system units and could care less if the units have defective motors. The contractors get a discount on the replacement motors they sell back to the consumer. In my case each motor cost me $380 dollars each. I asked the service tech to leave the old motors with me and he said he couldn't because they must turned in by the contractor.
It would be nice to know how many consumers have been sold HVAC units over the last several years with defective motors. Only later to have to replace the defective motor on their dime. In my case 24 months later. If this were an automobile manufacturer there would be a mass recall. The manufacturers would be issuing a rebate to consumers to pay for the cost of replacing the defective motor. Dear Consumers, please respond to my comment so me and my attorney can begin collecting data in a effort to file a class action lawsuit against these unscrupulous AC manufactures.

My Lennox system, which is just over a year old, has been a huge disappointment and has been very problematic. My first complaint was with the condenser, (the outside unit). I live in a condo complex and this condenser is the noisiest one in the community. The people at Lennox take no responsibility other than giving you a case number when you call to complain. The local dealer is responsible for all issues. The dealer seemed unable to do much of anything to lessen the noise. If the motor starts up as you walk past it, your heart literally skips a beat from the huge banging sound it makes turning on. Once it is operating, it sounds like a massive food processor. Horribly noisy and very embarrassing to have this thing banging and clanging in my community. I paid for the system and clearly had no recourse.
I accepted my lot in life with this awful system hoping it would continue to work for as long as possible. I live in Florida where we already have very hot weather. That was until last night. At midnight the system was cooling, the thermostat was set to 76 degrees and the family went to bed. At 4:30 in the morning we woke up sweating. It was 89 degrees and the heat was running.
Fortunately, I was able to get the Lennox tech here this afternoon. As soon as I told him what had happened he knew the problem. It seems there are wires that cross in the air handler and short out the system causing the heat to go on automatically. Seemingly an easy fix, but not a free one. What caused the wires to suddenly short out seems a mystery. No guarantee that it won't happen again although the technician assured me he had moved them far enough apart to hopefully prevent a recurrence. Save yourself the trouble of looking into Lennox if you are considering a new or replacement air conditioning system. I live in fear of the next problem and the next repair bill.

I had some heating and cooling issues a little more after a year of purchasing it. The parts were covered but the labor wasn't so I still had to plunk down several hundred dollars to get it fixed. The air conditioning needed a new coil (very expensive) and the heating issue was when a component collects dust, the unit doesn't turn off. The system truly needs maintenance once a year. (I didn't have to do that with my previous unit.)

I purchased a new central air system in 2017 - a Lennox system and it has been fantastic. I used to install 5 window AC's each spring to try & cool the house - this worked, but there were hot & cool spots. With the new system - all rooms are consistent and I can get the whole house cooled quickly and efficiently. My house is a ranch and all the equipment was built into my attic. It is a Variable Speed - icomfort Control - 3 Tons - two-stage cooling with a SEER of up to 20.0. The thermostat is a Humidity/Dehumidifiy Touchscreen Control.

Nothing but problems since Purchased in late summer 2016 for $4500 CDN. Never worked properly from day 1. Had to have it serviced shortly after installation and add freon, and then every summer at an expensive cost. Faulty coils causing leaks. Part is under warranty but we had to pay an additional $1300 for installation and freon. Very disappointed in Lennox, they don't stand behind their products. This issue had a class action that settled in early 2016. Last time I will buy the Lennox brand.

I had Lennox install a new air conditioner as the old one was not working. The salesperson was knowledgeable, explained my different options, and why the new models are so much more environmentally sound and energy efficient. I wanted to do further research, and get other cost options. When I did get other bids, no one else explained the technical aspects, and seemed to be talking a lot about environmental energy issues, but without much substance.

Beware of buying a Lennox system. The coils are bad and they had a class action on this issue a few years ago. Unfortunately, the coil issue continues and while Lennox will pay for the part if it is under warranty, they will not pay for the labor or the Freon.

They had a lawsuit where they settled from 2007-2015. ** I did not quailfy. They are still making defective coils. This could happen again.

If I could give zero stars I would. In the last 3 years, we have 3 different Lennox air conditioner units that have broke down on us. We previously lived in Houston and our new build home had 2 units where the evaporator coils went out on both and they were only 3 years old. At the time there was a class action lawsuit against Lennox over the evaporator coils, so we submitted claims to try and get some of our money reimbursed but we have. It seen a dime. Now we live in Missouri in another new build home and our Lennox unit that’s only 2 years old has quit working. This time it’s the fan, compressor, and defrost panel that has broken and needs replaced. Never again will we spend money with Lennox...it’s complete junk.

Purchased their high end Elite Series XP-20 heat pump. The unit is only used during the winter in Florida, so it's not used very much. Last week the a/c would not come on. I called the installer and was told the Compressor, the heart of the unit, was burnt up and would cost over $2K to repair? The unit was only 4 years old and cost over $10K! The unit it replaced was over 20 yrs old and still functioning. Lennox covered the parts, but would not pay any of the labor costs. So, to get it up and running, it would cost another $2K on top of the $10K already spent.
I told Lennox that the installer said this was only their second unit (unlikely) that had suffered this catastrophic failure. So I felt Lennox should shoulder some of the cost b/c of the type of failure and obviously a mfg'er problem. Their customer service was useless. They sounded like a broken record, "We don't cover labor costs." Never buy this junk. Stick with the lower end units for $4K; they'll provide you with reliable low cost service which is what I should have purchased from another provider.

New Lennar home built 5/2016 in central Florida. Del-Air Heating and Air Conditioning did the AC install. Less than 12 months after closing on our new home, the evaporator coil was bad in the Air Handler model CBX27UH-042-230-6-04. Lennar took care of the first replacement coil because we were inside of our 12 month home warranty (October 2017).
In September 2018 the evaporator coil had to be replaced again because it was leaking again! This time Del-Air said we would be getting an all aluminum evaporator coil as a replacement. They LIED! Del-Air installed a coated copper/steel coil on October 3, 2018. This coated coil lasted until June 04, 2019 when our home wasn’t cooling properly again. This time we hired Terry Strickland from Polar Express to help us. What a mistake that was! He charged us $536 and told us our coil is leaking again without even checking it. He recommended we try a leak sealer that he charged us $149 for and also charged us $288 for the 410A to top off our unit.
In late February, 2020, when temperatures were in the 40’s, our Lennox system would NOT heat our home! I noticed the condenser outside would not energize to run the heat pump. We called Bayonet Plumbing and AC to come check our system. We were told the condenser was shorted out. Model 14HPX-036-230-19. It tripped the breaker and would not power up. We were told it would cost $1509 just for the labor to replace the condenser! At this same time my wife was a week out of spine surgery and recovering at home. The temperature in central Florida was approaching 90 degrees and we had no AC! The tech Kassidy from Bayonet told us he put a rush on the parts. More than 24 hours passed and we didn’t hear from Bayonet at all.
My wife and I hired Duncan’s Air Conditioning and Heating Inc to give us an estimate on a new TRANE system as well as an estimate for the condenser replacement. Duncan’s estimate for the condenser replacement was >$300 less than Bayonet’s estimate! We ultimately decided to replace the complete TRASH LENNOX unit that we’ve had nothing but problems with since buying our new home. Every AC tech that had been to our home to service the Lennox told us that Lennox units are the worst in the industry and they have absolutely nothing but PROBLEMS! Every home in our new community has a Lennox unit installed, some bigger homes have two units! Every one of them have problems.
We are among the top 2% smart enough to replace the crappy Lennox unit with a Trane!!! The Trane comes with an all aluminum coil. Something Lennox still hasn’t figured out! We’re not happy about being completely ripped off by Lennox! We bought a new home in October 2016 and by March 2020 we had to replace the entire AC/ Heat Pump system!!!! Unbelievable Lennox!!! You ought to be ashamed of the complete FAILURE of your brand! I will go out of my way to make sure others know how poor your quality (or lack thereof) is and not to buy a Lennox.

Bought Lennox furnace 12/2013. Two years in it went out. Internal water leak blew out a module. Connections were never caulked/sealed. Technician said since they moved production to Mexico, quality has gone downhill. They regularly forget to seal joints, etc. Repair costs $200. November 2019 furnace went down again. Apparently there is something wrong with the heat exchanger. Took two calls to jerry-rig the furnace to work while waiting for a new heat exchanger. Some insulation baffling had fallen, and they think it may have been sucked into the heat exchanger. Two service calls $300. There is no way a heat exchanger goes out after 5 years unless the quality is crappy. Now they want $900 to $1000 to install the new heat exchanger. I've been arguing with Lennox since December. No way I'm paying more money for an obviously poor quality, sub standard product. Communicating with Lennox is like talking to a brick wall.

My husband and I built a custom home in 2016 in Mississippi. The builder, not us, chose to install 2 Lennox heat pumps- a 3 ton unit to service our downstairs of 2400 sq ft and a 1.5 ton to service the upstairs of 675 sq ft. We rarely use the upstairs and have not experienced any problems with that unit other than it is very loud when it switches off and on. The downstairs unit has had to be recharged with Freon every year. After raising these issues with our builder, he wiped his hands of it and said we had to take it up with Lennox. The coils were replaced in September 2019 under the parts only warranty and we had to pay the $650 labor cost.
This week we had 2 different HVAC companies inspect the units in preparation for the return of warmer temps. Both companies identified low Freon by as much as 30-40% low. The fiberglass sheet under the blower is also breaking down and causing an ash-like substance coming out of the vents and there is a buildup of mold inside the blower housing unit! I am aware of the 2015 class action suit, but I am appalled that any judge would agree to bar future consumers from bringing a class action suit against a company that knowingly continues to sell poorly manufactured equipment! Where is the consumer protection in that? If builders are using the cheapest well known units that ultimately end up costing the homeowner aggravation and more money in the long run, then we should be able to avail ourselves! Lennox heat pumps are junk and they should not be allowed to continue business as usual while knowingly selling consumers defective equipment!

Leaking coil 3 months post purchase. Likely selling same defective coils they were sued over. Read multiple internet reviews and lawsuit before you purchase any Lennox product. Check which HVAC system your builder is installing. Worse part about Lennox is their customer service; rude and dismissive. Remember - Why would they care; you have already bought their system. People have to put time and effort into reviewing a company; so they must be pretty dissatisfied with a product. Do not ignore the warnings from Lennox customers.
