UNTRUSTWORTHY and POOR Customer Service…read more
Our five year old Combi Gas Water Heater/Furnace system with green technology, recommended and installed by Mast, is now discontinued and seemingly defective, leaving us with a flooded and damaged newly finished lower level.
Within only months of each other, two flooding incidents occurred from this unit. The first incident, there was no significant damage-luckily we caught it in time. Coils inside the unit cracked which allowed water to pour out like a garden hose. We had absolutely no idea something like this could even occur!
After the first flood, Mast was slow to engage while we were without hot water for 5 days. WE had to call for updates while we waited for next steps. Frustrated, we wrote an unfavorable review. We received a call the next day that was unprofessional. We were also told at this time that our unit was discontinued. My husband wanted to give them another chance, so we sincerely tried to work with Mast on a different replacement model, due to future part concerns. Mast offered us assurances and a part replacement, OR, they offered us the same discontinued unit, sitting on their floor at their site, NEW, they said. We would pay the labor. We declined to go thru reinstallation of another discontinued unit, so the part was replaced and we moved forward.
Only a few weeks prior to this incident our unit was serviced with routine maintenance by Mast.
In July, only months since the first flood, the second flood occurred. SAME ISSUE. This time it was much much worse! Even now, with a water shut-off valve installed, within MINUTES, nearly half of our newly finished 1500 SF lower level was significantly damaged-furniture, carpet, pad, drywall, paint, baseboards and trim. Again, no hot water for days and we're left with a long and costly replacement, restoration process ahead of us.
