First off, I am NOT a HVAC tech nor do I claim to be. I'm not even a DIYer when it comes to HVAC. I am a donut maker by trade (photographer by passion), but I AM looking for some straight answers. I know I'll prolly be kicked out of here, but I would like some help from you hard working HVAC professionals.
I have a Carrier 48 ss on top of my (donut) shop that was manufactured 3-97 and installed 7-97. In '98 it worked well. Not perfect or even great, but well. From spring of '99 until present I've had to call the same company out, sometimes several times, to get it to work again, only to last the season and that's it. Every time it's "I can't find anything wrong with it and that will be $$$ dollars." I'm on my third compressor now which was installed less than two months ago and it's already dying. I. E. the Tstats set on 72 and it won't cool below 80, and is prgressively getting worse. I guess they won't stand behind thier work or product considering they keep charging me, but is this right? Is it possible to have gotten a lemon of an a/c unit? Have any of you had this kind of bad experience with this brand/model? Was there a recall on this unit or something per chance? I've also contacted Carrier about this problem only to be given the run around. Is this model one of those cheap replaceable ones that rattles it self apart after (X) years? As I stated earlier, I'm not touching it, I'm just looking for some answers. I do thank you for any help you could give me. It's greatly appreciated.
