Response from Palm Harbor Heating and Air Conditioning Inc.
In response to this customer's report, I see where he was a customer for many years, but we have no record of a service call, or request for service in June 2011. the last service we completed at his home was 1/19/2010. Our disbatch software is automated, and there is no record that he called our company on the day in question. There is another local company with almost the same name who operates out of Ozona. it is a common mistake for our customers to call this "otjer company" only to fnd out when they arrive that this is a totally different company. Regardless of which firm he called, It appears from the customer's report that the on-call service tech got back to him promptly, the disbatcher called him on time that morning after he refused the ER service the night before, and the break-down came when the technician was unable to meet the expected timeframe. Although I have no record that the call came in to us, I can just say that there are times in June, July and August when we are at our busiest, and our techs are unable to meet the expected window. There are times when the service technicians wind up making a large repair, taking much longer than we expected. We treat every call as if they are the only service call of the day so that our techs can take their time in diagnosing, and repairing each and every A/C unit.We pride ourselves at Palm Harbor Heating & A/C Inc. in having a 90% "on-time" response rate. If we cannot meet the expected time frame we do everything we can to try and make other arrangements or at the very least give our customer a heads up that we are running behind. We also offer a 30 minute "call-ahead" feature so our customers are not stuck at home waiting during peak service hours.
