Do lemon laws cover items such as home air conditioning units?
My Mom purchased a new home Air Conditioning unit, a Trane, about a year and a half ago. But, she has had to spend atleast $500 every other month the past year to have it fixed. The company that installed it and has been servicing it, Snyder, has yet to be able to fix the problem. Everytime they come out they say that it's fixed but it only breaks again within a month or two. Does anyone know of any lemon laws(state of Florida) that are applicable to this situation? Are there any legal actions that can be taken to actually get her air conditioner fixed correctly or replaced?
She has spent $4000+ on this unit?? That's absurd! She needs to call the public relations director of Trane (not customer service!!) and tell them this story and if this doesn't work talk to the President of Trane. This is wrong.
I don't think lemon laws would cover this because it has been way too long. Normally lemon laws have to be acted upon within 30 days in most states.
Good luck.

That's kind of long time to have it and put up with the problem.
From what I gather, Trane's have a pretty good warranty from the factory, so maybe she should call the company or another authorized dealer/service outfit.
I doubt she'll have much legal recourse if she's let it go this long without seeking other avenues.

I don't know about the Florida law, but you should contact Trane and let them know. The system evidently was not installed properly. For more information about air conditioner installations, check out the air conditioner page at my source.
