These people are complete scam artists & have terrible customer service. They charged us almost $4,000 to incorrectly install a water heater, missing crucial components that are legally required by California law.
Two of their technicians improperly installed said water heater to the point where we had no water within our entire house; we went from just having no warm water to having no running water within the entire house & having to replace our faucets & showerheads + repipe the entire house.
The damages caused by this company ended up costing over $18,000 to fix, and one of the technicians was being completely inappropriate & unprofessional towards myself as well.
After improperly & illegally installing the water heater, one of the two technicians that arrived to my home told me that he needed to report back to his supervisor because he didn't know how to fix the problems he caused. Then the next day, he came to my house alone, made no progress towards fixing anything, & told me to call a plumber.
Meanwhile while also charging us almost $4,000 to give us more issues than we started with, the technician made multiple uncomfortable passes at me; he called me gorgeous, and shortly after proceeded to close the door to my bathroom with him & myself alone in it & tell me that I have beautiful hair.
The next day, the air conditioning unit I have, in which this company also installed, began leaking; it was actively pouring out water. I notified the company over 15 times; I called them multiple times daily, reporting that this was an emergency & our air conditioning unit was under warranty, yet they declined to send a technician out until over 5 days later.
When they finally sent out a technician to maintenance the air conditioning unit, they simply patched it up with metal tape sealant & left. The air conditioning unit immediately began leaking again, so I had another HVAC service repair company come in, this company reported to me that the air conditioning unit had also been improperly installed by Ace Home Heating & Air. The technician from the other HVAC company notified me that the unit was fitted with an improper pipe, so that water was not able to drain properly + the unit itself was improperly sealed.
After contacting the company over 40 times to alert them of the illegally installed water heater, they eventually sent out a technician that simply took pictures, but did not install the seismic strapping or bolt down the vent at the top of the water heater.
I ended up having to rely on another plumbing company to properly install the water heater; the other plumbing company notified me that due to the improperly installed vent on the water heater, there may be a possible carbon monoxide leak within the house.
My entire family had to evacuate the house, while the fire department & paramedics were deployed to our home to make sure Ace Home Heating & Air's illegally installed water heater did not expose my entire family to carbon monoxide gas.
I have additionally asked multiple times for receipts for any of the past 5 years of services I have received from this company, & they have sent me nothing.
I have attempted to contact the company over 50 times & have been getting little to no help from any of the receptionists; they never gave us an invoice or receipt for any of the "services" they provided, & have actively been having a very nasty & rude attitude towards me.
Everyone involved in this company is quite frankly disgusting. I talked to many different receptionists at the company, but Rosa & Sophia were the most disrespectful & the absolutely least helpful, especially Rosa.
This whole company needs to be reported to the California Department of Consumer Affairs & the local Better Business Bureau for breaking multiple laws. I encourage everyone who has been negatively impacted by this company to report them.
Stay far away from this company unless you want to be overcharged for unnecessary repairs, pay out of pocket to fix improperly installed appliances, be harassed within your own home, be possibly poisoned, & also be condescended over the phone by the company's receptionists. read more
