Honeywell Provides No Support After 1 Year Is Up. Thermostat Was Only 4 Years Old. What A Piece Of Junk! I Will Never Buy A Honeywell Product Again...ever!
Customer Service Scoreboard
I called Honeywell customer service about my new Thermostat. I spoke to someone from India who could hardly speak English. After a few minutes I hung up the phone and tried again. I called 4 times and got someone from India who could not speak English.
First of all, I prefer to speak with someone from the U.S. and not a foreigner. Secondly, these are American jobs that Honeywell is taking away from Americans.
Honeywell should be ashamed of themselves for transferring all the U.S. calls to India.
We all need to boycott Honeywll.
Bought Honeywell THX 9321 Thermostat with EIM, outdoor temp sensor, and other acc. I am not a contractor but did install my own heat pump 3 years ago. Bought this new High tech pos in Dec. I have installed many thermostats and never had a problem. The EIM powered up fine but the thermostat would never light up though it had power at the thermostat terminals. Called Cust. serv. got the two step run around from some off shore guy named "Jack". They obviously sell them to places that retail them, and immediately blame any problem on the customer. Needless to say after buying almost $400 in their products I will never make that mistake again.

My new Honeywell thermostat seemed flaky and the instructions were vague, so I contacted support. The treatment was insulting, my questions were ignored, response was slow and then failed to address my questions, instead telling me I didn't know how to use the thermostat and that I should hire a contractor. When I requested escalation to someone technical the support rep was angered and stopped responding at all. Stunningly poor support!
DO NOT purchase an air cleaner. So loud you can't sleep and people on phone want to know what the noise is. I called company because I wanted know about high/low settings seeing as there was not paperwork. On the third time of telling the woman there was no paperwork, I said that I was a intelligent person and could not only read but could see paperwork missing she gave me attitude. This is what you purchased. I told her I was returning it and she hung up. So much for company good will. Seeing as I work with ill people all day and muster up a great amount of patience when I think I don't have an ounce left in me, maybe she should think twice before she hangs up next time. You just never know what that person on the line has been through before they spoke to you.
My Honeywell carbon monoxide detector started "chirruping" and the British Gas engineer said I should ring and arrange replacement as the detector clearly stated that it was guaranteed until September 2017.I rang the advice line, spoke to Caroline who told me that the warranty did not apply as they replaced a faulty detector on a previous occasion and the original date had expired-How ridiculous the warranty must relate to me rather than the product-I have had to pay for a new one and guess what it's not from Honeywell.
I called customer service to get help on changing the temperature setting on my thermostat so my propane would kick on at 34. The people I talked to could hardly speak English and know one could help me. They said I had to get a contractor and I was not aloud to do that myself. Honeywell is ran by incompetent people and they do not tell me what I can and can not do with my thermostat. How stupid can a company get.
I have found that printing the manual helps. I have to play with it a lot to get it to work. There are a lot of complicated settings for each day. I wish that I could skip all of that and just have it ON. My advice is to find a temperature that you want by using the buttons to the top right and then hit run program. That usually helps. It usually takes about five minutes to get it going, but seriously, download the manual!
Your company sucks! I will NEVER BUY A THING THAT SAYS HONEYWELL ON IT. Your recording asked for three digits 1/1/9 after which it says you are experiencing high volume at this time so "please call again later". My problem is NOW-NOT LATER with that thermostat not working correctly.
Recently my 6 month old Wi-Fi thermostat (RTH6580 WF)began losing wireless connection and then randomly reconnecting, many times during the day. I called customer service and was directed to Paul Arntzen
Honeywell Customer Care Lead
who apparently arranged to send a replacement. After 30 days I cannot contact anyone who knows anything about it.
This Paul will not respond to email and will not reply to phone messages (It's always "leave a message")
I think I will just have to write off this Honeywell thing and NEVER buy anything with the Honeywell name on it.
I can't believe that there is ONLY ONE person handling (or mishandling as it is) all warranty claims.
Attention Paul Arneden
Recently tried to install one of your WiFi thermostats and discovered after the installation that it only works on hard wired routers. You don't advertize that on the box or materials inside the box; BAD MISADVERTISING. I spent a whole morning installing and trying to make the thing work,wasted time. I don't know if the retailer will allow a return and then I will be really mad(pissed).
Having problems with a Honeywell Elrctronic whole house air cleaner. Spoke to someone in India who didn't even know what it was and had no idea what to do. Called Honeywell Corp headquarters in Minnesota and they promised they would have a qualified technician call me. It is now 1 week later and no call,I arranged this weekend to have this Honeywell piece of crap removed from my HVAC system and replaced with a quality product from a reliable manufacturer.
Have honeywell wifi thermostat that controlled everything, but would not turn on blower when AC compressor went on. Obvious wiring issue. Waiting 30 minutes on hold on a Saturday morning. Then guy cant even figure it out and suggests I call a professional...good advice. Not friendly or helpful. Get the nest thermostat next time!!
I have been on hold for over an hour, after calling two contractors the company gave me previously and neither one of them installed my thermostat. Shouldn't this information be on file so we don't have to call every contractor within a 5 mile radius? The ones I called wanted to charge me 85.00 to come look at it and it is under warranty. The installed that put it in in the first place did one heck of a job. It is now falling off the wall. I am dissatisfied with your work.
of the situation we are continously following up with the Honeywell automation team. However so far the problem had not been sorted outby them.The communication of the team also needs to be improved as at times we felt that it was rude which does not align with service standards of company having such a huge reputation.
It's a wonder that Honeywell is still in business. Tried to find a particular home thermostat and no one at Honeywell could direct me to a retailer or supply house. I suppose no one in India has any concept of customer service, knowledge of what Honeywell sells or care if someone is interested in buying their products.
I too have issues with Honeywell. I prefer to speak with someone from the U.S. and not a foreigner, hard to understand them when asking complex questions.
My electronic air cleaner (F300E) now 4 years old has begun to MELT. I called Anish from India and he emphasizes to me, turn the unit off, it is a fire hazard. OK
Honeywell has not responded yet. That was several days ago. My son is a severe asthmatic and has not stopped sneezing since it was turned off. So, this unit does its job when functioning. But, so far poor customer service on Honeywells part.
I purchased (2) Honeywell TH8320U VisionPro thermostats in summer 2008. One of them went bonkers last winter; the screen showed jibberish. I called Honeywell Customer Service - got the India center and explained the problem. The first response was "You must call your installation Contractor to remedy the problem". I have run across this scam before; with a water softener, so I read the person the Warranty from the box and said I would sue if they refused to honor it. They got a Supervisor on the phone and agreed to replace the unit.
Well, the second VisionPro has just failed.
It started making loud clicking noise when calling for heat and would blow the fuse on the Air Handler control board.
I called India today and explained the problem. The initial response must be a canned Honeywell Program; you must call your Contractor. I continued to try to get them to diagnose the problem...5 times put on hold.
They tried to convince me there was a wiring problem...I explained that this unit worked fine for years. No progress. They refuse to honor the warranty.
NEVER PURCHASE HONEYWELL PRODUCTS. tHEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THE CHINESE JUNK THAT THEY SELL.
