My central air conditioner condensor coil pan began to leak condensate and Griffith Oil Co sent the regular technician who maintains the oil furnace each year. He said I should have a complete unit installed instead of attempting to replace the condensor condensate pan. He said I would be entitled to a Federal Tax Refund amounting to 30 Per Cent of the install cost. A salesman then came the next day and setup an install of a Trane XR15 outside unit and complete inside unit consisting of a new coil and pan along with condensate plumbing to a condensate pump. The total cost was $4224 and he said I could get a tax break since the Trane XR15 is very efficient. Griffith oil now tells me I would have had to have the entire system replaced including my very effient oil burner and blower fan to receive that tax break. I figured I would receive perhaps $250 to $300 back on my taxes which would buy a tank of oil this winter. After they told me on the phone that I am not entitled to the tax break, I began looking around for another oil company which is closer such as Carroll BP just a couple of miles away who also do plumbing etc. If needed.By the way, I paid off the $4224 in less than 5 months to close my account.
