Have been using Dale's since moving into our new house 1+ year ago. Original owners used Dale's to install 2 units (upstairs and downstairs) about 6 years ago. Dale's left a huge one foot hole around the air intake that feeds up into my attic. This means hot air in the summer and cold air in the winter come down large openings into my walls causing obvious comfort issues. I had Dale's out and they inspected and said this was a builders issue. When I asked how it is a builder's issue when they retrofitted new units and should of installed and sealed correctly, they said sorry, not our fault. Very poor installation work. We have also signed up for Dale's Comfort Care with preventative maintenance. Since having them perform preventative maintenance on our units, we have had one blower motor go out which they then replaced for around $300 dollars. Both capacitors have gone out and Dale's now charges $223 for replacement which is a $7 part and 10 minute install. Also, I asked why our downstairs was not cooling hot/humid) on a preventative maintenance visit. The technician said it was just too hot outside to keep up. I called another company for a second opinion and they found our unit 4 pounds low on refrigerant and frozen up. The other unit was 3 pounds low. $400 dollars for refills. So much for performing preventative maintenance that I paid for. Since refilling the refrigerant, it is like I have new units... Cool with no humidity. Also, regarding preventative maintenance, our upstairs unit drain pipe clogged leading to the unit shutting off. This should be part of routine maintenance that I'm paying for. In summary Dale's has cost me around $300 dollars for preventive maintenance fees (which obviously weren't done as the capacitors should have been checked and refrigerant level), $300 dollars for a new blower motor, over $300 dollars for capacitors, and about $500 dollars in other costs/repairs. Their maintenance plan is nothing more than a simple cleaning of units with no checks performed. This is a dishonest company and I have been so much more satisfied with service and price since switching to a new independent HVAC service. Please take my advice and do not use this company. I've left a message for Dale to call me, but have not been contacted. read more
