WARNING: Service Abandoned During No-Heat Emergency (Post-Surgery/Child in Home)…read more
Contractor: Royal Class Service (RCS)
Issue: Breach of Membership Service, False Advertising, Extreme Unprofessionalism, and Refusal of Service.
Timeline: 3 days (Saturday, October 25th - Monday, October 27th, 2025)
I signed a membership agreement with Royal Class Service in September 2025 based on their FALSE Google advertising of "24-Hour Emergency Service" (I have screenshots documenting this claim). My experience revealed this promise is a dangerous lie.
Saturday, October 25th: The Initial Failure
Called for emergency service when our heat went out.
Received a text back after 10:00 PM informing me that no technician was available until the morning, effectively denying the advertised 24-hour emergency service.
Result: The household, including a recent surgery patient and a child, spent the night without heat.
Sunday, October 26th: Unprofessional Conduct
Technician Craig arrived and was immediately confrontational and angry, stating he was not the on-call technician and complaining about being called in.
He claimed we failed to inform them that the boiler would not turn on, which was false, that information was provided to the office.
Following his rude and highly unprofessional demeanor, I asked for the boiler's serial and model numbers to contact the manufacturer (Rheem) myself. He became increasingly hostile and left the property.
Monday, October 27th: Office Obstruction
I attempted to contact the office multiple times that morning. After several attempts failed, I had to use a family member's phone, which connected immediately, indicating my number was likely screened or blocked.
I secured a part lead from an outside vendor. The office needed to approve the purchase; despite being told the order was pending approval, the necessary action was not taken.
Tuesday, October 28th: Office Obstruction and Cancellation
I again attempted to contact the office multiple times that morning. After several attempts failed, I had to use a family member's phone, which connected immediately, indicating my number was likely screened or blocked.
Chris (the only staff member who demonstrated professional manners) confirmed the purchase was approved and the part was ordered, promising service within 48 hours.
4:30 PM: Service Unilaterally Canceled. Project Manager David called to cancel the entire part order and sever all ties with us as customers, citing "rudeness and disrespect" as the reason. I explicitly told him I still required and wanted the overpriced service completed immediately due to the emergency nature, but that I would seek other contractors afterward. David refused to complete the paid service, even after I repeatedly informed him of the post-surgery patient and child in the freezing home.
When I informed David I would report this experience to the news and file reviews, he falsely claimed I was "threatening" him and immediately hung up.
Conclusion: DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.
This company is not only guilty of false advertising and employing unprofessional staff (Technician Craig), but their management (Project Manager David) made the egregious, unethical, and dangerous decision to abandon a customer who had been without heat for three days, refusing to complete a paid-for emergency repair, despite knowing the vulnerable situation of a post-surgery individual and a child. Their prioritization of a petty disagreement over human safety is unforgivable.
