Is $410 to replace a mini split float switch a fair price?
Project Details
My Mitsubishi heat pump floor-unit head stopped working, and a technician temporarily fixed it by disconnecting a failed float switch. The HVAC company that installed my 7-head Mitsubishi system quoted me $410 for a replacement float switch (SS610E). I believe this should be covered under the 10-year manufacturer's warranty, even though my 2-year labor warranty has expired. The company claims it's not a Mitsubishi part and therefore not covered, but I argue that they sold me a $32,000 Mitsubishi system without disclosing the use of non-Mitsubishi parts. I'm upset about this and plan to escalate the issue with Mitsubishi directly, and potentially the BBB or small claims court if the installer doesn't change their stance. The technician also mentioned the float switch was poor quality and possibly an unnecessary add-on if the condensation drain is clear. I'm also trying to learn how to clear the condensate drain lines myself, as I wasn't informed about this during installation.
