On 20 Nov, I personally visited the office of Daryl's with some pictures I took of my heating system. We had just purchased this house and I had a few questions about the way it looked. I decided on Daryl's because he is a service company for Carrier products, which is what I have. We talked for a while and I made an appointment for a service call the next day.
Two service techs showed up the next day for an inspection and service of the unit. They did in fact point out a problem with the exhaust flue and the air flow and said Daryl would send me an estimate to change out the flue pipe from a single wall to a double wall pipe. While the tech's did a fine job of cleaning the unit and inspecting the critical parts, after they left, over the course of the day, I noticed the thermostat need to be calibrated, as there was a substantial difference between the 'set point' for heat and the point at which the heat actually came on. I called Daryl the next day and asked for the techs to come back. He told me they would not come back out this way to calibrate the thermostat, unless he had a truck in the area, as there were just to many people with a more serious problem. Well, here it is, 6 Dec, and I have not heard one word, nor has he sent an estimate to change out the flue pipe. Fortunately I found the support site for the thermostat, and they helped me calibrate the thermostat over the phone. It's sad that a business expects me to do my part and pay my bill, but they have no interest if following up on taking care of the total problem. I will not be calling him again for any future needs. read more
