I got Giant HVAC to install AC for both my house and another family member’s house. My house had multiple mini split systems installed just two years ago and my family’s house had a central ac installed a little over a year ago.
My home installation was a mess - Joe's crew cycled in different people and some of them seem like clear apprentices who didn't know what they were doing. For example, Joe’s guys installed one large unit in the attic upside down which potentially may have damaged the unit. They also installed one of the mini split system’s drain pipe poorly that ultimately caused flooding and a pile of water in my kitchen.
To make matters worse, all 4 ac units stopped working and no longer blow cold air at almost exactly after 2 years (installed July 2021, stopped working August 2023), coincidentally just outside of the 2 year warranty from Giant HVAC. I contacted Joe and he’s been giving me a ton a attitude and unwilling to stand by his work. He’s basically responding with, “I’m too busy and I don’t have time for this. I’ll go visit if or when I have business in your area, but I don’t have any business in your area right now.”
I’m all for supporting local small businesses, but I really can’t recommend Joe after this experience.
Response from Giant HVAC, Inc
Hey Ken, again I apologize that you’re having issues with your equipment. I am also extremely surprised to read this story. I don’t ever recall hearing of any water damage, and the fan coil we installed upstairs was never damaged either. It was functioning when we installed it and apparently for over 2 years.
I’m not sure why you hire us again to install a separate system at your sisters back house if we did such a horrible job at your place to begin with. We did give you an extended labor warranty but we never heard of any issues with the equipment until just recently. You never reached out for maintenance, nor replaced your air filter regularly as we advised you to either.
That being said, you reached out to us about an air-conditioning issue this week, in the middle of one of our busiest times of the year. I did inform you that we are currently overbooked at the moment and that if I was ever near your area I could easily stop by, but I am not there anytime soon. I do have a commitments with other customers at the time.
At no point did we ever deny or decline to come out to see what is going on. All we did was give you an honest expectation to let you know that we were super busy at the time and we couldn’t show up anytime soon.
I am handling all these calls as they come, in order, and I am more than happy to put you in the queue should you choose.
