Review:
American Home Shield installed this unit instead of replacing it with a
Carrier which I had. The compressor just broke 4 years after. It rotted
and burnt stuff in there. Payne had me call a Carrier/Bryant dealer, specifically, who charged me a lot for the diagnostic and wants to
charge me $700.00 for the labor. Compressor is still under
manufacturer's warranty. Do not buy Payne and don't insure with
American Home Shield. They will rip you off. I hope there is a class
action suit, as well. Thanks, Rose

Review:
My Payne ac is 40 years old now and still running strong. 40 summers of
100+ heat. I've owned the house for 16 of those years and my only repair
has been replacement of the fan. I want to replace it with a more
efficient unit, but I almost hate to replace my old one, knowing they
don't make them like that anymore.

Review:
I am an hvac contractor in the Houston area. I have installed and
serviced many Payne models over the years.
The key to having no problems with these is the installation. They are good performers for the money. You won't find a better piece of equipment for the money, PROVIDED IT IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY!
If you are using a home warranty company buy a clue. The home war. cos. expect HVAC personel to install a unit for 400-500. At best these poor guys are lucky to make minimum wage working in the heat.
The home warranty people complain because they spent $700? When the average selling price for a condenser is well over $2000 Retail.
So if you were making minimum wage or less installing stuff on the cheap and got an opportunity to make more installing retail equipment you would jump ship wouldn't you?
So the home warranty companies struggle to keep knowledgeable techs because they are always leaving for greener pastures.
Remember as with any thing else "You get what you pay for." Installation is the most important part of any air conditioning equipment.

Review:
I'm a contractor that owns Payne and installs over 100 of their units
every year.
It is the EXACT same unit as the Bryant and Carrier builders model. The difference is they sell to anyone with a license, so many unqualified "furnace guys" do install these units and do a terrible job. We work for a home warranty company and not only do they only pay $400 to install an AC system, they don't even pay their bills! We make customers pay us and then they collect from them. Home warranty companies typically work with gypsy contractors (except us, of course).
If installed right, as with any AC system, it will work great for many years.

Review:
Payne equipment is Carrier. Contractors can buy the equipment without
having to be a dealer like you would for Carrier ,Bryant and Lennox.
I have been installing Payne for 10 years along with Carrier and Bryant and never had problems with them.
Most equipment is only as good as the person who installed it.

Review:
I recently had my ac unit replaced with a brand new in the box pane. It
lasted exactly 1 month and the compressor blew out. Now the insurance
company is charging me another $160 to have it replaced. I think that
pane should replace it's for free since it was less than 1 month old. I
have been without air conditioning for 1 week and I think that's bad service especially since I live in Arizona and the daytime temp is 100 degrees or greater. I expect a response immediately.

Review:
Actually, I haven't owned this unit for a year. I have only had it for a
week, and it is already gone out! Thank God that this replacement was
completed through a home warranty company, because I would have been in
bad shape. We had a storm come through yesterday evening, and before I
left for work this morning... there was no air flowing from any of the
vents! Definitely a cheap unit!

Review:
The Payne AC/Heat pump system is original equipment on my house and is
now 25 years old. It has survived extreme heat, golf balls and freezing
weather. It's still running, and I wish I could get another one just
like it because it's been so totally reliable and has required virtually
no repairs.

Review:
I have a Payne Central Air unit. It was a home warranty replacement for
the original unit. I have owened my home for 3 years, and I have
received 3 new Payne Central Air Units in the last 3 years. Payne's are
the Fords of AC units. Buyers don't waste your money by buying this
product. Save yourself from a headache.
