Bryant Heating & Cooling review: My evolution connex thremostadt 1

Anybody thinking of buying this hunk of junk from Bryant should read the email chain below. I redacted email and phone information. Dear : Thank you for contacting Bryant. We cannot diagnose what may be causing the problem via the Internet. Your dealer is in the best position to assist you with your technical questions because they are trained to install and service the units. They also have access to a network of factory service managers, who in turn have direct access to engineering. If you are not currently familiar with dealers inyour area, our Dealer Locator can identify some in your area. You can access the Dealer Locator online at www.bryant.com or call us toll free at Bryant [protected] and we would be happy to put you in contact with one. Regards, Stephanie Customer Relations If you have additional questions, feel free to call us toll free at 1-800-4Bryant [protected]).

We do dot not troubleshoot nor provide technical support via. telephone. Your unit has a 5 year parts warranty from the date of installation for the original owner. Labor, service and refrigerant are not covered under the manufacturer?s warranty. I have attached a copy of your warranty certificate for your reference.

[THREAD ID:1-74IV4B] -----Original Message----- From: Sent: 11/4/2015 11:43:25 AM To: "'contact.[protected]@bryant.com'" Subject: [External] RE: Customer Relations RequestV I am continuing this email chain to create a complete record of my dissatisfaction. I would like this forwarded to whoever is in charge of customer service. This morning I called and spoke to a "senior" customer service person. What a waste of time. She said she could not help with the connectivity issue unless the unit was not connected. The unit history showed multiple brief disconnects that morning, but not while I was on the phone. If I am home when it loses connectivity I may try to call again. When I asked about the inability of the unit to react to changes made through the app, the answer was along the lines of call your dealer. I do not have a contract with anyone. I dropped my contract with the company that installed the unit because they could not address this issue. My understanding is that this unit is under warranty for 5 years. I do not want to pay for a service call. Are service calls covered by the warranty? How do I get the unit replaced with a different product? -----Original Message----- From: contact.[protected]@bryant.com [mailto:contact.[protected]@bryant.com] Sent: Saturday, October 31, 2015 3:14 PM To: Paul Korman Subject: Customer Relations RequestV Dear : Thank you for contacting Bryant. I do greatly apoloize for the diffculties you are still currently experiencing. The only way to reach a supervisor is to contact us via telephone.

This unit is useless. I have been away for several days. I had to set the unit to away remotely. The setting NEVER took. My app would say it was set and when i checked a while later, the unit was back on the normal schedule. I have had several instances where I noticed the unit was not connected. It was connected to my home network, but not to your server. I was never notified of those issues and they are not in the error log.I do not want to waste my time with people reading computer genre rated responses to my questions or who will tell me to disconnect and reconnect my modem, router or the unit. I have been down that road. How do I arrange to speak to a supervisor? On Oct 30, 2015, at 7:08 PM, "contact.[protected]@bryant.com" wrote: Dear : Thank you for contacting Bryant.

A unit was first installed on July 8, 2014 by GAC Services [protected]). They subsequently, August 14, 2014, added a dedicated wireless router to try to address the repeated loss of connectivity. I had so much trouble with the unit over the winter, including the heart turning off entirely while I was away, that they replaced the unit on March 18. I have continued to experience periodic losses of the connection. I was told by GAC to not to use the vacation setting and just use the away setting and reset it on the way home from a trip. I did that last week and, as indicated below, we tried to reset it 4 times on the way home and it never worked. GAC has stopped responding to me, even though I remain completely dissatisfied. I can be reached on my cell at or my wife can be reached at . ________________________________________ From: contact.[protected]@carrier.utc.com [contact.[protected]@carrier.utc.com] Sent: Monday, June 22, 2015 8:43 AM To: Subject: RE: [External] Customer Relations Request Dear Paul Thank you for contacting Bryant.

I was already told to avoid using the vaaton setting when i turned the hear OFF last winter instead of keeping the temperature steady ay 60. Now I use the hold setting. While driving back from out of town we tried to reset the unit to cool the house before we got home. We tried 4 times. My contractor has already replaced my unit once. Do you have a unit that works?
