subject: Things To Look At When Buying Trane Ac Parts And Other Brands [print this page] There are many options when it comes to brand of indoor heating and cooling systems. The top 5 options are GE, Carrier, Barber Coleman, Honeywell and Trane. All these brands have been established for several decades. They have some of the best collections and they have a circle of authorized suppliers. Look for them and you can minimize future problems regarding the parts" quality. Nevertheless, these authorized suppliers may all have the logo or certification for being a licensed dealer but you may find differences on their operations.
Orders:
Some suppliers set a minimum amount of order. You may pay an additional fee if you will not meet the minimum amount. In some cases, the minimum amount will only allow you to get free shipping or any other perk that the supplier wants to give.
Price:
You may have read and heard it a thousand times but comparing prices of various sellers is truly the way to find the best deal. When shopping for GE or Trane AC parts, you should check if the price already includes handling, freight and taxes. It is not a good idea comparing a supplier that offers a net price of $50 for each of the Trane AC parts but will charge $30 for the handling and freight with another supplier that will sell the same Honeywell AC parts for $65 but offers free shipping.
Cancellation:
The suppliers have different policies for the cancellation but the standard policy is that customers are allowed to return defective products. Expect that most suppliers will have you pay for the shipping of the products returned mainly because of misfit or mismatch with your unit"s model. In addition, the Return Merchandise Authority (RMA) allows suppliers to charge 30 to 50 percent of the product"s price for restocking. In addition, the usual return policy for HVAC parts will allow you to return packages that have not yet been opened or the parts that have not yet been installed. Make sure to read the package for compatibility. Check the model and series. A supplier of Carrier parts may not allow you to return the part if you have already tried to install it.
Shipping:
The suppliers of Trane AC parts may ship within the state or within the country. Others even ship worldwide. You may want to inquire on how they would ship the parts. A Barber Coleman supplier may deliver via ground transportation as a standard. Normally, the suppliers would charge an additional fee for customers who want a faster delivery by air. A reliable supplier should also give you the option of Saturday, Sunday or Holiday delivery but expect to pay higher. In addition, many customers are concerned if their orders will be shipped on time. You will notice that there are suppliers that allot 3 to 5 days for shipping but others put extra days and make it a week. There is also a great difference on the shipping fee. A supplier of GE motor may charge $5 for the shipping while the other does not. You should check the total price because some suppliers that give free shipping take it from the net price.
