We had Weston Bros. install ductless splits throughout our house five years ago. There have been problems with a few of the units since installation.
I've been in the building trades for years and I'm appalled at the poor level of service and lack of knowledge at Weston Bros..
First, they installed incorrect parts which caused an a unit to fail. They repaired that free of charge. When their tech told me the installers used steel fittings to connect to a copper pipe I was surprised. If you've been in the trades as a plumber or electrician you know that dissimilar metals corrode and fail. The dissimilar metals are what cause the failure. They said they got Mitsubishi to replace the part free of charge under warranty. That's pretty dishonest since their installer caused the issue. That's between them and Mitsubishi.
The biggest problem is, our basement unit has consistently leaked from the drain hose connection. Initially, it caused a small flood and damaged some musical instruments. Finally after being ignored by them for two weeks I got Joan to respond. She told me she had never been given the message that I called them. I had called three times. I assume she was being honest, who knows?
They were not able to provide a service tech of their own to solve the issue. They ended up sending another company to deal with the issue. This was after they sent techs who were not knowledgeable and could not fix the problem. One who was insulting toward me and laughing as he told me about choking his wife. Oh yeah, he was making antisemitic jokes as well. Lovely.
They sent a company who seemed honest and knowledgeable to repair the drain problem. This was after I told them they better not send the previous tech back. The new company they sent was surprised the Weston installer had attached the drain hose the way he did, since it was done incorrectly. The hose was reattached and the leak stopped. Until today, a year later.
Today I came home to find a small flood. Soaked carpet, a damaged $400 headphone mixer and a wood table that is now waterlogged. I don't know how much water is under the vinyl plank flooring, I guess I'll know how much if I start to smell mold. Luckily, I do not have a working basement unit now, so I cannot do much to dry the room.
Our bedroom unit has spit water ever since installation. I've paid to have the drain lines blown out so I know they are not clogged. The new company Weston sent after their own techs couldn't solve the problem told me the air handler was oversized for our room. That seems odd since Michael Weston himself came to look at the job and plan what was needed to properly cool each room prior to installation.
We don't run our units very low, daytime at 76 or 77 and nighttime at 74, always on low fan. The bedroom unit spits so much we move our bed in the summer because the water landing on my face when I'm sleeping wakes me up. What a surprise!
Our dining room unit spits sometimes too. Again, that unit is set to 77 and low fan, so we're not trying to get the room to an unreasonably low temp.
Outside our house they used indoor drywall screws to fasten equipment to an exterior wall. Eventually the screws may rust through and let go, hopefully not. Outdoor screws are so very expensive.
Their install techs were very nice, but clearly do not know their trade. Their service guys are nonexistent as far as I can tell.
Weston will be very personable and seem like they know their business. They've been around a long time. I assumed they were good at what they do. Five years after install we're still having problems that date back to the first year of use.
Another thing I've wondered about is the rebates at the time of install. Those rebates went to Weston, not to us, the customer. I don't know if that is what should have happened?
I've held off putting up a bad review because they fixed the leak and failed unit free of charge. Now that the leak has come back worse than before I'm fed up. DO NOT USE WESTON BROS. read more
