Tech arrived four hours late and acted like it was our problem when we complained. Zero accountability.
Two no-shows in one week. We took two afternoons off work for a repair that still hasn't happened.
AC died at 9pm in July. Called every number I could find for them. Nobody picked up until the next afternoon. By then the house was 90 degrees.
Three different times this summer they no-showed on confirmed appointments. Finally gave up and called someone else.
Tried to follow up about a warranty issue and got the runaround for three weeks. Nobody returned calls or emails.
Said it'd be $89 diagnostic, ended up $450 before they'd even touch the unit. Classic bait and switch.
Polite when you finally reach them, but the return-call window is more like return-week.
Hidden fees on the final invoice we were never told about. Service charge, trip fee, disposal fee. The 'free quote' wasn't free.
