Response from Hager Fox Heating & Air Conditioning Co
We appreciate the feedback. Unfortunately, certain replacement parts are more difficult for us to acquire than others, particularly during the holidays. We apologize for the inconvenience this delay caused you. Replacing a heat exchanger in an 18 year old furnace is always a gamble. We typically advise against it. While replacing a heat exchanger will likely fix the immediate problem, there is no guarantee that the equipment failure didn’t cause a secondary failure elsewhere in the furnace. That was unfortunately the case in this situation. Bryant, the manufacturer of the furnaces we sell, offers a one-time option of replacing the heat exchanger at little to no charge, or a $600 credit towards a new furnace. Only one option may be chosen. If the replacement option is chosen and a second failure occurs, as in this situation, the $600 credit is no longer available, as the manufacturer has already provided additional goods. This scenario is rare. It is unfortunate, and we deeply apologize that the chosen option did not live up to your expectations. As we have previously mentioned over the phone, we will do everything in our power to continue to assist you in any way we can. We also appreciate that you have noted on your review that you would hire us again in the future. ~Hager Fox
