This is a long review, but our experience with Right Now was also long.
Our first visit by Right Now was on June 28th, 2021 when I noticed that our 25 year old A/C unit wasn't cooling our home so well anymore and we were about to head into the 105 degree heat wave. On this visit a Rejuv kit and coolant fill was to supposedly keep our old unit going and improve the cooling our home until a replacement could be installed; we didn't experience any improvements at all.
Four days later had a new A/C - Heat system installed. That evening, our temps didn't get below 80 (even though the thermostat was set to 73).
From there, we had techs come out who did an air flow redirect. But, the temps still rose 4-5 degrees above the thermostat setting. Plus, now we were experiencing HOT air coming in through all of our exhaust fan vents (above the stove, in the laundry room, and in the two bathrooms).
A few days later, we were sent another tech who came out who noticed that the vent system was set to open and needed to be closed. Filled the charge on the new A/C unit and also stated that a new TXV part and would need to be installed. Due to the hot air that was still coming in through our fan vents, temps still rise 4-5 degrees above the set temperature.
Over three weeks time, they kept finding and resolving issues. They were helpful and kind. But, it was perplexing why new issues kept happening. Eventually, they managed to improve the system and reduce the temps that were coming in through our exhaust fan systems.
We also had a tankless water heater installed by Right Now Heat and A/C. The night it was installed, I happened to go out into the garage and saw that the new water heater was leaking (not dripping, leaking). We were told to shut the water off ourselves until a tech could get out on another day.
Originally, we were also going to have a cool air return placed in our office. In August, they returned to make that modification and to also install a larger gas line for the water heater. I'm not sure how the bigger gas line helps, it now takes longer for our water to heat up.
We opted to NOT follow through with the cool air return because, due to our experiences to date, I wasn't feeling comfortable with them making any more modifications on our home. Little did I know, more were to come anyway.
Instead, we opted for them to check all of our HVAC lines to be sure they were secured and properly sealed. Of course, they found many gaps. This is something I feel they should have already done through any of their many previous problem-solving visits.
It's just been one issue after another in nearly three months time and around a dozen visits. But eventually, the inspectors came and mentioned that an exhaust system would need to be put in the garage because the system was actually too big for the size of air flow in our garage.
The result, there is now a 6" hole in the middle of our garage wall that only has a grate over it. There was no screen to keep out insects, nor a HVAC tube to keep rain/elements from getting in the walls.
I would love to let the pictures tell the rest of the story... if I can get them to load.
The bottom line is that this entire experience has been frustrating, time consuming (we had to be available around a dozen times during this process), not to mention prolonged (nearly 3 months time), and the modifications leave me wondering if they would have accepted this kind of result in their own homes.
The discomfort began with pushy sales (to sell us every thing they offer) and ended with frustration over this long drawn out process. In between, we also dealt with often (not always) being treated rudely by their customer service.
The inspector came by 3 times before they minimally passed inspection. But even he was shocked by some of the work done here. read more
