Our Heat unit went out on the day before Christmas Eve, this company was very responsive to our…read moreneeds in the beginning. I had to call them back because the unit wasn't running correctly, upon inspection the tech stated that he was going to recommend replacing the unit, due to the age of the unit. and it was apparently losing Freon. He came back to the house and pressure tested the unit under the house and stated that there was a definite leak.
He left a message, that they were going to replace the coil under the house. I asked them if they performed the same test to the outside unit, he informed me that he didn't and that this couldn't be done, so my question is how was it known that this was the only leak in the 19 year old system.
I asked him if he told the home warranty company that it would require replacement, and he told me that the warranty company would make me pay for out of pocket modifications to the tune of possibly a $1,000.00 and possible more.
I told the tech that I had platinum coverage and that the system shouldn't require modification that would even come close to this figure. I asked him if he had worked up that quote..... His response was no, then how do you know the price of the modifications?
I spoke again to my warranty company and they advised that the tech or company told them that the system was checked inside and out and that this was there determination that it was the inside coil only that needed replacement..... Then you lied to me when you were asked if you pressure tested the system, you told me that it wasn't performed, but you tell the warranty company that it was.
I don't appreciate being lied to, if what I asked of hi would have been done this wouldn't even be an issue right now, however I think this is the companies way of getting every Nickle and dime they can without having to replace the unit, which was the initial statement from the tech after checking the unit.
I hate writing reviews on companies, I would prefer to leave good reviews for outstanding service, however, this time I won't because, I don't like being lied to.
Bottom line, don't tell me that the unit needs to be replaced and then tell the warranty company a totally different story, this was just poor business, poor work ethic and bad practice. I don't even want to use them now, because I don't trust them.
And before its said that I'm no AC tech, and they are. I have a relative that had advised me on this, and they are a certified AC tech. I didn't want them doing anything to the unit because I didn't want to mess up my warranty coverage, I also don't want to be charged several times for faulty issues from not performing the correct testing of the indoor as well as the outside unit.
Way to go. I hope that nobody else has this experience, it hasn't been a pleasant one.
