In 2015, Chad's A/C installed 2 units (a Mitsubishi mini split and a regular unit) in our new…read moreconstruction home. Upon installation of the regular unit, it was installed incorrectly and caused a leak. This leak caused the entire den ceiling to have to be replaced prior to our initial move-in. After this, the company realized the mini split was installed incorrectly and needed the entire exterior wall removed in order to connect to the outside unit. Chad's A/C delayed returning to finish the HVAC system. This stalled our construction for thirty days while we repetitively reached out to Chad's in order to get them to return to finish the job. Once they finally returned, they had terrible attitudes as if it was our fault the units were installed incorrectly originally.
We were invoiced for the repairs via mail. We contacted Chad's numerous times asking for Chad to call us in order to discuss the house repairs they had caused. He refused to call me back over a span of four weeks. After all this time, Chad finally texted and stated that he was not going to pay for the repairs to our home since he claimed that the damage to our home fell under typical construction costs. Furthermore, he stated that if we deducted the amount for the repairs that he would not warranty our air conditioner even though a ten year warranty was discussed within the original quote. Finally, we were able to reach out to Dana Whiswall who came to my business to discuss the damages. We went over everything that had taken place and she agreed that the damage costs did not fall under typical construction costs and deducted this amount from the bill. We wrote her a check for the remaining amount and believed that these issues were resolved.
Since 2015, every year, if not more than once a year, the mini split required service calls. Chad's A/C requires a $79.95 service fee that has to be paid prior to schedule of service. We paid this every time in order to get our unit serviced regardless of the fact that this was a new unit in a new construction home that was recently installed. In 2022, we called to schedule a service call. Once Doug Moncrief, the repairman, arrived he stated that there was nothing they can do to fix the issues and the seven year old unit needed to be completely replaced. We reached out for a second opinion from Myer's A/C who agreed that the unit was in such disrepair that it did need to be replaced. They quoted $6800 for the job.
We began to contact Chad's A/C again in order to use our warranty and replace the unit. We originally spoke to Mary in Chad's office who said that the unit would be replaced. After this, contact from Chad's A/C was abysmal. We called, texted, and reached out on Facebook Messenger numerous times. Mary would either not return our phone calls, or she would call to state "I said I would call. I have no information. This is your call" and hang up. Chad finally sent a message on Facebook stating that he would not be replacing the unit as he had only warrantied our units for 5 years since we deducted the repair costs. We, then, sent a certified letter to Chad's with no response.
At this point, we realized our hand were tied. We realized that we had made a grave error. Upon giving Dana the check, she never gave us our warranty certificate. There is nothing we can do at this point besides warn others against this scamming, untrustworthy, unprofessional company. We are now using Myer's A/C for the replacement and having to pay out of pocket $7K since we have no documentation the warranty ever existed.
