Edd Helms Electric and Air Conditioning installed an AC unit (Ruud RA16, 5 ton, 16 seer system for $6444) in my home on 11/18/2020. On the same day of the install I noticed that there was a problem with the AC unit. The unit was not cooling the home appropriately, the air handler was shaking, rattling and making a bothersome whistling noise. I contacted the company about these issues and each time they came to my home they did not fix the problem. They came to my home on 11/19/20, 11/24/20, 11/25/20, 12/17/20 and finally on 1/7/21. When they (the service manager, the install manager, the account manager) came to my home on 1/7/21, they collectively decided to ignore the obvious whistling, rattling and vibrating of the the unit and stated that they noticed nothing wrong and that the unit was functioning normally. Even the service manager, who while he was at my home on 12/17/20 acknowledged the whistling and rattling, was now agreeing with the other two men that he hears no whistling and sees no problem with the unit. All three of these men walked out of my house without properly addressing my concern. One of the men (Ron Thompson - the accounts manager) was seen on video footage from my door bell camera saying "man I am really going to fuck them in two". He then removed his used shoe covers and dropped them at my front door and stated "I'm going to take these off and leave them right by the front door". Then they all left. I have video footage to prove this. I even filed a report with the Miramar police department as I was not sure if him stating that he was going to "fuck them in two" was a threat to me and my husband. After they left my home on 1/7/21, I immediately called Ron Thompson to discuss what had happened during the visit and he did not allow me to get a word in. He was very rude to me. He cut me off at every opportunity during the conversation and finally (and very rudely ) stated that at this point all they want to do is "rip" the unit from my home and refund me, then he hung up the phone on me. He (and Edd Helms AC company) were not willing to work with me or help me to come up with a solution. My satisfaction as a customer meant nothing to them. All they wanted to do at that point was I get rid of me and leave me without an AC unit in my home. My comfort, satisfaction, and happiness as a customer meant nothing to them. They were absolute sharks. I was in such disbelief at the blatant rudeness and dispespect that I became overwhelmed and tearful. I could not believe that I was treated so poorly by a company that was supposedly highly rated for AC services and installation. I accepted their offer to remove the unit from my home and they came to remove the unit on 1/12/2020. Per email correspondence between Ron Thompson and I, I was to be refunded within 5 to 7 business days after the removal of the AC unit. It has been over 40 days and I have not received a refund. I inquired with Karin Larabee from accounts receivable at Edd Helms and she stated that a refund can not be processed until after the permit has been closed out by the city of Miramar's building department. How unreasonable. Why should I have to wait for the city of Miramar to close out the AC permit to receive my refund? The AC unit is in Edd Helms' possession. They have removed from me the services that were rendered to me so why can't they hold up their end of the deal and refund me my money? If the city of Miramar never closes out this permit, does that mean I will never receive my refund? If it takes the city of Miramar months to close out his permit, does that mean I will have to suffer for many more months to come (including a hot summer in Florida) without an AC unit? I am still without AC in my home right now, as I am waiting for the Edd Helms to refund me my money so that I can contract a new/better AC company for a new installation. Please spare yourself the misery and AVOID this company. They are absolutely horrible and their employees are incredibly rude. read more
