I don't recommend YMC. If I could give them less stars I would. My A/C quit working a couple of weeks ago and I called YMC, which came highly recommended by several people. They sent a tech out who, without using any equipment to check anything, told me my 21 year old A/C unit was completely out of Freon, there was a crack in the coil (because usually that's where they are leaking from), and that the galvanized tubes from the furnace to the house would need to be replaced as it was out of code. He also said all of the pipes under the house from the garage to the A/C unit would need to be replaced. He provided an estimate of a new A/C and heating system that was close to $9,500 for a 1,800 sq ft home. This is $4,500 more than two other estimates that I received.
I had a different HVAC company come out later that day - they checked and put pressure gages on the A/C unit, filled it with a couple lbs. of Freon, checked the pressure again, checked for leaks in all of the pipes and the coil - found none. They also turned the heat on and checked the condition of the unit, it worked fine and checked for CO2 in the house. Yet another company came out the next day and provided a similar quote ($4,500 less than YMC!). My A/C unit has worked perfectly now for 2 months. I paid $127 in repairs where YMC would have had me pay $9,500+ for a new unit.
I also called the YMC manager and spoke to her about what had happened. She was very nice and seemed to understand and empathize with the situation. She referred me to the operations manager who, when he called me back, could do nothing but make excuses for his 'experienced' tech. Not customer focused at all. It was so frustrating I had to end the call.
I feel the YMC tech didn't do his job and took advantage of a woman, thinking I would take his diagnostic and overly priced quote at face value. I will never do business with this company again. read more
