Disorganized, misleading, and overpriced -- do not trust this company
After the frustrating experience with Deane Electric, we tried Kane Air Conditioning based on high ratings. Unfortunately, this company proved to be just as unprofessional and disorganized.
My husband had already correctly identified the issue: the condenser fan motor needed to be replaced. We had already told the company that the capacitor was good, yet when the technician arrived, they insisted on checking everything themselves. While on site, they confirmed the problem was indeed the condenser fan motor. The technician tested it and said it would need to be replaced.
At that point, the technician said he would have to rewire the unit to confirm the diagnosis, but then insisted we pay $200 just for reconnecting three wires -- even though the diagnostics were supposed to be free. Later, the same technician returned quoting over $1,000 for the job including the condenser fan motor that costs roughly $50-$150.
After back-and-forth discussions, the technician and the manager supposedly agreed on $800, only for the manager to later raise it to $850, and then $950. Throughout this process, I was exhausted from night shifts and clearly stated I am not knowledgeable about HVAC systems. Yet the manager pressured me to pay $200 immediately, despite the work not being completed and conflicting information being given.
To make matters worse, Kane Electric never provided a written estimate or receipt. Everything was verbal, changed multiple times, and felt completely arbitrary. The management seemed to be making decisions based on emotions rather than business standards, and it felt like they were actively trying to take advantage of me because HVAC is not my area of expertise.
I also called the office back and spoke with Marissa, who promised they would follow up with me. That never happened.
It's important to note that this company is under new management. It was recently sold to Sunshine Air LLC, doing business as Kane Heating and Electric, which explains why the service, professionalism, and honesty are nothing like the ratings suggested.
It's okay, because we ended up going with Wildcat Refrigeration LLC, and they fixed everything quickly, accurately, and for far less than Kane demanded.
As an RN, I value integrity, transparency, and professionalism; none of which we received from Kane Air Conditioning. Between the unnecessary wiring charge, inconsistent pricing, shifting agreements, verbal-only "estimates," lack of follow-up, and aggressive tactics, it's clear this company prioritizes profit over honesty or customer care.
I do not recommend Kane Air Conditioning. read more
