I got two Lennox systems, which were supposed to have 10 year warranties. One of the thermostats failed after 5 years and 10 months. I called Lennox and they said sorry, we can't help you. The warranty on the thermostat is only 5 years. They said the 10 year period applies to the rest of the system. I asked if they would replace it anyway, since it is just out of warranty and I paid a lot of money (over $40,000) to get Lennox quality. They said no. "Sorry I don't have better news for you" was the precise language they used. This is not how a quality company responds to a problem. So, their equipment breaks too early and their customer service is sub-par. I wish I had known before. ******.Review from James C

I had a perfectly working 18 year old furnace and ** unit. I decided to purchase a lennox system due to the fact that I wanted a reliable system. Within the first month the ** compressor went bad and they did replace it, Now Several days into the heating season I sit here with no heat. I paid a premium price for what I thought was a premiun product. I wish I had my old **** system back. I was told by one of the instalers that these systems were not what they use to be, I should have listened. Aslo when the installers opened up the sealed undamaged boxes both units were damaged and they had to get repalcements.Review from Jordan S

I waited on hols for 90 minutes to speak to someone on the wifi team. After 90 minutes it finally started ringing as if someone were finally going to pick up, and it immediately hung up on me. I am livid.Review from David F

I purchased a Lennox Heat Pump unit in 2018. In May 2024 the thermostat began having issues with loosing time and wi-fi communication. The dealer informed me that it would cost $1200.00 to replace the thermostat. It began working correctly in June. On September 20 (98 degrees outside) 5:30 pm afterhours my unit stopped working. Thermostat stated System Waiting. I bought a ********* Thermostat and it turns out the installers replaced the wiring and the only thermostat that works is the Lennox. The ** dealer came out on Monday and replaced the thermostat at a cost of $1300 which was out of warranty and stated it was a communication problem with the unit and that the thermostat was proprietary to this unit . The unit came on for a brief time then stopped, further troubleshooting reveled the module in the three stag blower motor was at fault. The technician told me the motor was under warranty but it would be $300 for labor. He also stated that there was a motor in ******* and we should have it in a day or two. On 1 October I called the dealer and he stated it was inbound and should be her by the 4th. I called Lennox corporation customer service and told them about the above. I also told them I spent $600 for two portable ac units to try to be as comfortable as possible. I was only asking them to reimburse me the labor fee for the motor. The response was sorry but that is the way the warranty contract was. The dealer called me at 6pm on the 4th of October and was on the way to install the motor. It took him less than 30 minutes and was finished. He charged me $335. I still have four more years on the unit warranty. The technician told me that there is a waiting list on these motors and there are lots of failures. Lennox knows about these issues with the thermostats and motors. They should do right by the customers, fix the problems and treat it have recall to replace all of the defective parts. I will never buy a Lennox product again.Review from DENISE M

Lennox customer service is a ZERO !!!!!!I have had a warranty claim submitted by Lennox authorized dealer in *********, ****** (Jonaire) since June 13/2024. On Jonaire's behalf, I believe they could only do so much and then the warranty decisions are made by Lennox. I had to take it on myself after the local dealer was told this was not warranty coverage. We purchased 16 Lennox A/C units through our business for our one single residence and made this purchase through the Lennox Territory Manager, **** ***** that is currently remains in this position. After multiple phone calls directly to him, email to him NOT ONE RESPONSE in a month! Corporate customer service, that typically takes 1 hour on hold before you speak with a human, I have made 4 or 5 calls and they continue to tell me that the only way they can contact this Territory manager is through the company portal, they refused to give me any additional phone number or supervisors over him. On 2 phone calls , after insisting on speaking to a supervisor, I was sent to a voice mail of ***** ******. I left 2 or 3 messages for her in a weeks time....NO RESPONSE!!!I even cc emailed to her with the email I sent to **** *****. This purchase was made with a 10 year warranty that corporate customer service says, he has authorization to extend typical warranties....but why not allow a claim to the warranty he sold us. The case # ******** is in their system but they are ignoring me. This is only the first review I have written on them and definitely not the last.Lennox Industries, Inc. Response

Lennox is not a good company to work for. I worked *****/ week there and had impeccable attendance and cause I told the ** that the new 2nd shift Supervisor wasnt doing anything. He retaliated against me and got me fired. A lot of employees who work there for 10+ years are looking for different work cause they are changing things that dont need to be. Like they say if it aint broke dont fix it well thats not the case here. Now they aint paying me my last check for some reason. I wouldnt not recommend working here and thats hard to say cause most companies Ive worked for Ill go back or they would take me back cause I work to the fullest.Review from Virginia S

By far, the worst company and customer service I have ever dealt with. The Lennox telephone **** could care less about trying to help and they were downright rude, you have to wait a half hour to speak to a person and once I did, he said he would transfer me and then just hung up. I called back, waited another half hour to once again speak to another very rude service ******** purchased a brand new house 7 years ago that had two separate Lennox units, one for upstairs and one for downstairs. Both systems have failed after only 7 years and both had to be completely replaced. This was diagnosed by an authorized Lennox Premier dealer (who has done our annual service maintenance for the last few years). We just spent $658 last month replacing parts at the annual service call and in addition, were told it would be thousands of dollars to replace the coils AND there was no guarantee that more parts would not fail and also need to be replaced. Lennox told us our warranty is for five years. Our builder never told us that we had 60 days to transfer the warranty directly into our names and we would then have a TEN year warranty. It's a matter of simple paperwork. Why can't Lennox honor the ten year warranty? I have called and emailed Lennox Consumer Affairs and they've all told me, "too bad and tough luck". I've always thought Lennox was a reputable, well respected company with a good reputation. I sincerely doubt if anyone will bother to respond here and if they do, they will be unwilling to step up and try to resolve this.Lennox Industries, Inc. Response

**** please help us. I am from ******. In my home your Lennox air conditioner is installed in few years back. The unit is under warranty. 20 days back, the ** stopped working. I called one of your preimer dealer in ******, who visited my home and informed that the fan motor of the outside condensor unit is not working and they need to replace the fan motor. You know very well that in ****** now the temperature is more than 100 deg. F. In my home my aged parents and kids are frying without air conditioner working. Every day I am contacting to the dealer, but they informed that the fan motor is in back order. ***, please help us in getting the fan motor at the earliest. We trusted in Lennox products and hence we replaced our old system with Lennox. We are in big trouble now. I hope you will help us from this bad situation please. I am eagerly waiting for an early response from you please.The above request letter I posted in Face Book. I received a reply in face book informing to contact consumer department over their email and provide necessary details. Accordingly I have contacted to the consumer department. But, they informed me to contact their dealer. Now their premier dealer is not helping me as well as Lennox. Lennox and the dealer told that the part is in back order. If they are not able to keep sufficient spare parts in stock, why they are selling their products to the public. We are struggling. I humbly request Lennox please help me in getting my fan motor at the earliest. Hope you will help me.Lennox Industries, Inc. Response
