I am a property manager with several properties. I'm also a certified AC tech. This was my second system order with Ingrams. I ordered a Trane runtrue system because it has a full 10-year warranty on the entire system. I had a simple question about charging the system with the weigh-in method. I called in and couldn't get anyone to answer, so I left a message. I finally received a call a week later from a young lady that said she was going to open a ticket for a tech to call me. My thought was what is the purpose of that? I just need a tech to call me. Another week passed and I called back multiple times trying any and all extensions to get anyone on the phone. I finally got a salesperson to answer. He said he would have a tech call me back shortly. Several hours later someone called me and couldn't answer my simple question about charging the system. I asked if I needed to add more refrigerant due to having an inline filter dryer. He couldn't answer the question and referred me to Trane. I felt he should call Trane, get the information and come back to me. If he was concerned about providing a full resolution, that is what he would have done. Instead, he gave me a phone number for Trane support. The number was invalid and was out of service. I called Trane directly and asked for help and they refused. I explained that the dealer directed me to them, but they would not help citing they didn't want to talk to homeowners. I explained I was a property manager with AC credentials and my question was an easy simple one. Still the lady would not budge or offer any help.
Basically, Ingrams tech support is worthless if you can get them. Customer service is lacking to the point it's hard to get anyone on the phone. If they can't handle the easy stuff, how will they handle the difficult calls? Now, Trane has a big reputation. I'm very disappointed they won't offer any support unless, you are a registered dealer. I will have to reconsider if I buy from Ingrams or even Trane for my next project. What good is the warranty if there is no support.
