From the Leadership of the Gates of Praise Church in Hillburn NY. About September 2011, through Angie's List we contacted J&S Home Comfort Solutions, telephone (845) 469-4455.
In October 2011 we signed a contract with Scott Nelson, co owner of J&S. The cost of which was over $10,000. This was to install a new propane furnace at our church. That same month both him and his business partner Jason Peck begun the work. It went relatively well to completion.
However, the problems begun with Scott and his company about the first week of February this year. The furnace for the second time this winter season stopped working. It's then we attempted to contact him to either come look at it or provide us with the furnace paperwork, and or warranty information so as to proceed through a local HVAC company. The disappointment was overwhelmingly alarming: We made more than 6 or seven calls, each time speaking to his wife who can only promise to take a message to have him call. Needless to say, we waited in vain, because Scott never called, nor did his wife initiated a follow up. All this time for more than two weeks our church was with out heat. Our propane provider who was hired to service the furnace diagnosed the problem indicating that replacement parts would be high. As Scott was the installer, we wanted him to take a look at it, and repair. If he hadn't the time, then give us the warranty information. Note we never prior to this, or to this date, got any paperwork from Scott on the furnace he installed or any warranty information.
To make this narrative short. In our recent contact with Scott and his wife, we were treated rudely and lied to: He now claims that he was never an owner of J&S, but only an employee of a now defunct company, and as such has no responsibility. The facts are though: (1) 2005 Scott's grandfather give him a HVAC company. (2) In 2006 Scott partnered with Jason Peck and became J&S Home Comfort Solutions. (3) In 2012 J&S legally became "Happy Home Heating & Cooling." Yes, just a change in name, but still under the ownership of Scott Nelson and his wife, minus the previous partner Jason Peck. (4) Scott was never an employee of J&S as he is now claiming but was an owner. (5) there was no ownership argument and responsibility when he took our money. Now that the work is completed they have no need for us. Therefore, their post customer service stinks: (a) cant even innate a return call. Scott's refusal to provide us with any information on the furnace, now makes us wonder if the furnace in the first place was even new when installed. Their deception and blatant lies to a Church is beyond acceptable. His refusal to talk directly to us by phone makes it even more suspicious. We cannot refer him or his company to anyone. The rating of one Star is our effort to be generous. read more
