This was a 5 star company in my opinion until my recent experience. Let me first explain why I was…read more5 stars:
My brother and my parents both used Seasons Change several years ago and were happy with their experience. Levi was the salesman for both of them. We ended up having Levi come to our house for a quote and had them install a couple of heat pumps soon after. We have been very very pleased with this service. Levi and the crew were top notch.
Now why I have to drop it down to 2 stars based on a 1 star experience....
A family property recently flooded and is undergoing restoration through the insurance company. It was obvious the HVAC system failed during the flood due to the timing, that it was in a shared wall with the water hose that burst, the initial moister meter deemed the wettest part of the entire house was in the furnace closet, and the sheer amount of condensation all over the house indicated it wasn't working during the flood (over 57,000 gallons of water).
Our contractor had seasons change come out to inspect the furnace to see if they could determine the cause of it failing and to see if it could be repaired. He had been working with Victor (a salesman). Our contractor reached out after they issued the $120 report and said they were unable to determine the cause, that water was unlikely, but they couldn't inspect it due it "safety concerns." So basically the report was as good as me looking in the closet and saying, I have no idea what I'm looking at, can't tell you what happened.
I started to investigate through the City Water department (who determined the exact date the flood started), Pacific Power (17 outages leading up to the flood), Avista gas (the gas usage suddenly stopped on the exact date the flood occurred). Now anyone can look at this and say this is not a coincidence. I called Seasons Change, not realized I had the location in Redmond, and the technician literally said that while they can almost never determine the exact cause, if it is possible, they would put a clause in the report for insurance purposes, stating the cause was unable to be determined, but flooding/power outages could not be excluded. This is literally all my insurance company needed to hear. So I got on the phone to the Klamath location...
Kiki answered the phone. I tried to explain all of this to her and asked to speak to the technician. She told me "I'm sorry the report didn't say what you wanted, but we are not in the business of committing insurance fraud."She would not let me speak to the tech. Now I am very familiar with insurance fraud, little does she know. Asking for a sentence to say "flooding cannot be excluded" when they literally couldn't determine the cause, is not insurance fraud. It's what insurance companies need to process a claim. If it could be excluded, then great, I completely understand. But that's not what the report says. Kiki literally told me if I had any additional questions, I needed to direct them to my contractor. EXCUSE ME!? This is my house and the $120 for a bs report is coming out of my pocket.
Anyway, Kiki is a terrible person and shouldn't be in charge of answering phones. If the technician, Matthew, would like to clear up what was in his report, I guarantee they know who we are and how to contact us. This is extremely unfortunate for them, because regardless of the insurance company approving or denying the claim, we were prepared to have Seasons Change install an entire new system at this location. Big loss for them.
If you need an install, make sure you get ahold of Levi for your needs. He's clearly the only person I can trust there.
