Despite working for us on at least 5 jobs at our home and being paid many thousands, Darwin Rodriguez, the owner of AREON, left behind several amazingly negligent or deliberately unfinished problems!
The list of issues:
--3 return Vents were left without filters (which eventually would have ruined the system),
--They installed a new) condenser but left the box unwired.
--A separate AC system for our office was not cooling. When Darwin looked at it the last time he said that they would probably have to put in more freon to the cooler. So since 2 of our three systems were down and Darwin had ghosted us, we finally called another HVAC man.
--Within an hour the new man had turned the junction circuit right-side up for the office AC and it started immediately. He connected the wire in the box and got that system immediately working as well. He fixed one filter so it would fit and gave us the measurements for us to purchase new filters for all 3 returns.
The real negligence however is when they, for many thousands, installed completely new venting right on top of pre-existing copper steam heat pipes! Luckily the system isn't on at this time of year otherwise it would have completely burned through the venting. We discovered this only after our plumber pointed it out AND after we had paid AREON almost everything we owed him. Luckily I held back money which won't come close to covering the cost of fixing AREON'S mistakes.
When I tried to get Darwin back on the phone several times he wouldn't reply. When I asked a friend of his (who speaks Spanish fluently) to intervene, Darwin told this fellow to "Never call him again!" He completely ghosted us!
These problems are probably caused, at least in part, by the:
--unsupervised installations. The owner leaves his men, sometimes for an entire day, and often not showing up at all! That's how mistakes happen.
--Owner's erratic emotional swings
--the fact alt his workers speak virtually no English, Whenever asked a question his worker would always say "Call Darwin." That was always a problem as Darwin, who says he's been here for 12 years still CANNOT speak English well enough to answer questions or explain himself.
As a result, there is NO WAY I would ever recommend AREON or Darwin Rodriguez, the owner! EVER!
Lastly, the negligent work was witnessed by both the new HVAC man and our plumber! read more
