tidy work, no mess left on the floor, a quick demo so I wouldn’t be fumbling later. If a friend asked, I’d tell them to think about comfort first, budget second. Overall I’m glad I went for it. It’s practical, and a tiny treat too.

Right in the middle of a freezing week I remember standing there, hands in my pockets, thinking this is a nightmare. I’d first noticed this model at my neighbour’s place and even recommended it to a coworker, so I felt stupid when the two‑year old unit died. The turning point for me was when the installer finally owned the mess — they rechecked registration, admitted they’d missed registering it properly, and agreed to push the part forward with the supplier. It didn’t fix the fact that warranty time got reduced and the compressor was back‑ordered for weeks, and yes I still had to cover some labour costs, but that moment — when someone took responsibility and gave a realistic timeline — was when I felt satisfied. Small relief, but real. The manufacturer’s initial runaround was frustrating, and the wait without heat wasn’t great, but getting straight answers and a clear plan from the dealer made me trust them again enough to recommend they handle the install for the friend I tipped earlier.

once fixed it works fine, but getting there was a mess.

30 and wrapped up by mid-afternoon, which honestly made my whole day easier. They kept me in the loop as they worked, which I appreciated — the kind of updates that stop you from worrying. It's a straightforward setup: one control for temps, no gimmicks, and they still walked me through simple upkeep like clearing the drain plate so I actually know what to do. The materials looked solid, installation went smoothly, no big surprises. Now my mornings are quicker, less clumsy getting in and out, and it's easier to clean between jobs or after the kids use it. Price was nicer than other quotes I’d gotten, so that helped me decide. Small things could be tidied up later but nothing major. All in all, good product, good crew, and I’d tell friends to go for it — satisfied and relieved, really.

would the company actually listen to me, or assume my husband was the decision-maker? Seemed petty to stress about, but I’ve learned to trust small gut feelings.
Scheduling went fine online, but when they called to confirm they kept insisting that my husband had to be present for the appointment. I tried to explain calmly — I own the rental, I pay for repairs, I make the calls — but their reps kept repeating their policy like a script. I even said, “He’ll be there, but he’s working with the landscaper, I’m the one making the choices,” and they still said no, he needed to be standing there while they went over everything. That moment was when the little worry turned into real irritation.
I get policies; I really do. But this wasn’t a credit card issue or a warranty question, it was a simple install walkthrough. The idea that because I’m married someone else has to be present felt outdated and honestly kind of insulting. It left me feeling dismissed, like my ownership didn’t matter. Small human detail: I laughed out loud at them telling me their rule would apply even if I came alone — “because you’re married.” That’s a sentence I did not expect in 2026.
In the end I cancelled. Partly out of principle, partly because I didn’t want the awkwardness of having my husband play a role he doesn’t have. So my initial doubts — would they respect me as the buyer? — did not disappear. They were confirmed. I felt annoyed and a bit disappointed, not dramatic, just tired of archaic assumptions. If you’re solo-owner or the one paying for things, be ready to push back or walk away.
