We are installing some new system that they created and they are messing everything up. We’re having to call some other contractor to come and fix their mess ups on their own system

What’s the saying with Honeywell?...”You might find a better control system but you’ll never find a more expensive one!”

Yes. I’m a builder and I’ve had more bullshite with Honeywell than any other brand. Especially when I have a cheap client and they want to do a split system on 2 stories instead of 2 separate units. Honeywell splits are fricking trash

If they have the money I push for Trane. If they don’t - I push Lennox. Both have always had good products and excellent customer service. I think Carrier is better than Honeywell too.

I find Honeywell makes a lot of products without comps too. So I’ve had projects get delayed because of a Honeywell backorder and there wasn’t a comp in their brand or any others that I could at least get to get the unit going and close people on time.

Had nothing but problems with Lennox at my old house and their CS was even worse.

Call Maverick Tech. Lots of projects fixing what Honeywell left.
Honeywell routes most stuff to Mumbai, then it comes back with errors, then they charge you to fix those back in Mumbai. Rinse, repeat.

Just put in a ticket with TAC. They’ll get back with you as soon as possible which will be in 2 - 3 months.

I work for a distributor, so I have to deal with Honeywell pretty often. They’re pretty high on the list of worst to deal with when it comes to any sort of service. What type of system is it?

Honeywell - you can buy better but you can't pay more.

I've worked with all of the automation suppliers and you need to have a staff that works with them from design, installation, commissioning, cut-over and maintenance.

I used to work with a group that all worked at honeywell BR together for 15+ years. They knew at least 5 people who died at that site during that time. One found their good friend cut in half by a rail car. Another suffocated when a relief valve popped open above his head and dumped a ton of refrigerant while he was out making rounds.

There are 2 plants in BR, you’ll need to be more specific.
