Hello PEAK HOME PERFORMANCE and Home Depot! I seldom write reviews, but in this case I make an exception. A negative star would be far too generous. Had I been wise enough the Yelp reviews, we would not be here! I'm in over $6000.00 for a furnace that I can't use. Records show that this issue has been dragging on for 9 months. Every statement in this review is; factual, documented, photographed and witnessed by; The El Paso County Building Department, two reputable local licensed Heating and Air Conditioning companies and two local reputable licensed Roofing Companies.
I contacted Home Depot in 8/21 seeking a contractor for the installation of a garage heater. I assumed that Home Depot would line up with a company that possessed a higher level of skill, integrity and competence than I would be able to find. Unfortunately, Home Depot introduced me to PEAK HOME PERFORMANCE of Colorado Springs for the install. Displays of 3rd world workmanship and incompetence screamed from day one and on.
I trusted Home Depot to stand by their customer should issues arise. Home Depot did none of this.
PEAK HOME PERFORMANCE made 4 or 5 more visits to my home after the install stating they "needed more documentation" for the county inspector. I came to cringe every PEAK HOME PERFORMANCE "A" Team paid a visit. They would climb into the attic, make noise, take pictures and leave. I was unaware they were attempting to get the El Paso Regional County building dept to approve the permit. PEAK HOME PERFORMANCE failed every County inspection for reasons of multiple code violations and failure to comply with NPFA (National Fire Protection Act) standards in installing the furnace.
Records show PEAK HOME PERFORMANCE, without concern for the safety of my family and property advised me TO operate the furnace they installed fully aware it was; a fire hazard, unsafe and not permitted.
Records show that In 3/22, an El Paso County Building inspector arrived at my home to inspect and approve the installation of a new HOME furnace by a company OTHER than Peak. He asked which furnace was to be inspected mentioning the existence of two open furnace permits. It was then, EIGHT months later that I learned by a County Inspector (NOT PEAK) that the furnace installed by Peak HOME PERFORMANCE was; a FIRE HAZARD, NOT to be used, that it repeatedly failed inspection. That was his direct statement to me (witness present)
PEAK HOME PERFORMANCE has scheduled appointments and canceled them the last moment. PEAK HOME PERFORMANCE altered documents and electronically forged my signature.
Photographs and on-site assessments by two different; Roofing Contractors and Heating and Air Conditioning companies support my assertions of the negligence and incompetence I claim. PEAK HOME PERFORMANCE butchered my roof in the course of installing the heater vent.
The above FACTS were made known to Home Depot and PEAK HOME PERFORMANCE. Their collective response was; (in other words) "STFU" (shut the Fvok up) we got this, we're the experts here and you have no freakin idea what you're talking about, Peak says to operate the furnace." Unfortunate for them, I do know what I am talking about.
This transaction was curiously absent from my Home Depot account history. Home Depot was reluctant to provide the requested information and or its existence. Many e-mails to Home Depot went UN-responded. It took about a month to acquire documentation and only after contacting Home Depot's corporate offices were documents produced.
PEAK HOME PERFORMANCE and Home Depot were given the opportunity to remove the furnace, restore my roof to original condition and refund my money. They stonewalled me and ignored my demands forcing me to hire an attorney.
Lessons learned..........
5 stars to my newest friends at the El Paso County Regional Building Department for looking out for the consumer!
Yelp reviews of Home Depot and Peak Home Performance are accurate.
Referrals from Home Depot are bottom of the barrel for a reason.
Home Depot and their contractors maintain an incestuous relationship.
Do not expect Home Depot to "have your back" when an issue occurs.
Contracts signed on an IPad are alterable. Ask me how I know.
Everything in writing and retain paper documents.
No job is complete until the work passes county inspection!
Have an independent licensed professional inspect the contractor's work before payment is made (trust but verify)
NEVER PAY until it does.
Incompetent contractors are well adept in causing collateral damage.
Never turn your back on contractors. VIDEO surveillance!
PEAK HOME Performance is a failing company.
I will never step into a Home Depot again. read more
