Response from East Coast Mechanical Inc
This was a Home Depot installation that we did not want to do, but had to do as a Home Depot partner. The customer bought their equipment directly from Home Depot at the store retail level and we had to install it, please know the customer signed off that they refused to have us replace any of the connecting piping, fittings and electrical, etc. The customer was made aware of all of this in a completely transparent multipart contract. We were called back multiple times as the old failed to work with the new, as we said it would. Ultimately they did not want to pay us for the additional work outside the scope of work the customer signed for in contracts. We did call Home Depot who was looped in on the phone with the customer, while our technician was there at this last visit while getting the new boiler working. As we addressed with customer originally the system it needed some compatible supporting items that the customer just did not want to pay for. Very unfortunate for us to have been caught in the middle. Over the past 3 years we have been given the Angie's List Super Service Award and maintain a 9.8 out of 10 rating with Home Depot too for customers ratings. Being given a review like this, is also unfortunate. We may not be perfect, but the customer was the one who chose to gamble and when it did not work out she tried to say we had to upgrade items and she was refusing to pay. Home Depot let customer know her contract was very clear and we had done all were contracted to do. After the call the customer did pay us and last we knew the boiler was working.
