Qual-Tech was sent by my home warranty company to check my A/C because my bedroom zone was not working. I had another company come before and he diagnosed fully what the problem was. Unfortunately, the tech found an even bigger issue because the secondary drain pan was full of water because the primary drain pan is cracked. This could lead to major issues with flooding and rusting. The tech recommended I go through my home warranty because the potential issues would be expensive, and the policy I have in place might help with the costs.
So I called the home warranty, and Qual-Tech is who they sent. The person who came was not professional at all. First, he entered my house without putting booties on, and when I asked him about this, he said he wasn't going on the carpet so it doesn't matter (more on that in a minute). Before he started, I mentioned what the major problems were, including the zone issue and the cracked pan issue. The zone board is in the attic (which is why I was wondering why he said wasn't going to use booties since he would need to go upstairs and on the carpet), so I was expecting him to look at the outside unit and then check in the attic. Then, I showed him to the bedroom, and mentioned the zone was working at the moment, but I am concerned because it keeps going out. He then went outside and looked at the unit called his boss before coming back in the house.
When he came in the house, he said the outside unit looks fine, and the thermostat in the bedroom was working, so all seems good and to have a nice day. I then asked him why he wasn't going to go upstairs to check on the zoning board, and he said he wasn't going to. Basically, he only did half the job, and refused to go upstairs to look at the rest of the unit. When I pressed him on my concerns, and he continued to act indifferent, I then showed him pictures the other tech took of the unit, as well as the report that was written up. When he saw the water the first thing he said was the drain line is clogged. I asked him if he read the report and he said yes. I then showed him the line that said "I first verified the drain line is clear" and he said "oh". So now we have moved from unprofessional to just lying.
He then went outside and called his boss. Then, he came back inside and asked if he could use the pictures the other guy took. Again, he is avoiding doing his job. At this point I was so furious I wanted him gone, so I gave him the photos and asked what would happen. He said he would write the report that day (friday) and I would hear from the warranty company on Monday. Welp, wednesday rolled around and I had still not heard, so I called the warranty company, and they said a report had not been filed yet.
Awful service, awful professionalism, awful company. read more
