Expensive
Description of Work: Belong to Silver Service Club for 2 maintenances per year, paid in advance. The last three or four service calls required a part replacement almost every time on a relatively new system. Excuse the fact that the service dates here are out of order. 2/14/12-Capacitor on internal fan motor was $99 in addition to the $176 for Silver Comfort Club. 3/15/11- relay on heat strip board. Customer advised service mechanic that entire board cost $68 at business behind theirs Instead of whatever the relay would have cost. He charged $76 for the info and came back and charged us a "discounted" $275 for the strip and $51 acquisition fee to get it. 9/13/12.-this time the man must have seen the note that I put on the internal unit to always check capacitor on inside fan motor - fhe guy found the outside capacitor for that fan was faulty. That capacitor cost $162.Too many repairs on such a relatively new unit the last four service calls times.

Response from Busby's Inc
According to our records, in Augusta of 2007 our Comfort Advisor gave the customers an estimate to replace their system. The customers Chose to hire another company to install their new unit in August of 2008 and cancelled their maintenance agreement with us at that time. On January 21, 2010 they reinvested in a Silver Comfort Club Agreement with us and we performed the first of three maintenance visits on 1/21/2010. The purpose for investing in a maintenance plan is to keep the system clean and operating at peak efficiency as well as identifying potential problems. The only recommendation we made was to add a Safety Switch to protect the customer from any potential water damage. This recommendation was declined. We performed the next maintenance visit on 1/26/2011. The system was cleaned and serviced and no additional repairs were required. On March 11, 2011 we received a call that the Customer's heat was not working. Our technician found that the Heat Strips were not working and the customer requested that we replace the heat strips in the unit. We replaced the heat Strips and the unit was operating properly at that time. The cost to the customer was $326.00. On 2/6/2012 we performed the next maintenance and upon checking the capacitors our technician found a 10MFD Blower Capacitor was reading 8.45MFD. The industry standard for checking capacitors is a plus or minus 10% tolerance on the capacitor. So a 10MFD Capacitor reading 11 or higher or 9 or lower is starting to lose it's capacitance and will eventually wear out. The service technician performing preventive maintenance recommended replacing the capacitor to prevent a future breakdown. Capacitors are like batteries and stored energy, when they fail or get wear it can cause motor damage or motor failure and would require another service call. Everything else was ok with the system. On 9/13/2012, we performed maintenance on the system. This time we found the dual run capacitor of the condenser weak. This capacitor helps start the condenser Fan Motor and the compressor. Again for the same reason we changed the Blower capacitor we recommended changing the dual run capacitor in the condenser. The customer has the option to decline these repairs, but it is our technicians job while performing maintenance to bring these types of concerns to the customer. The unit was manufactured in 2007 and was not installed by our company. The heat strips were the only repair due to a breakdown. The capacitors, like batteries need to be replaced when they start losing their power. There were replaced the customer's request to prevent future breakdowns. We use a flat rate pricing system where the prices are given up front to the customers for approval prior to the repair. Our pricing is both fair and competitive. It appears that the customer is upset with our company because of repairs needed to a unit that was purchased from someone else.

Great from start to finish.
Description of Work: We just had our air conditioning system replaced by Busby's. We compliment them and their employees for great, courteous, and timely service. Our old system was completely down and from first contact with the office, through service diagnostics, sales, installation and final final quality checks, Busby's employees exhibited the highest standards of quality and professionalism. They worked under adverse conditions without complaint; one of our coils was located in the attic, it was not pleasant working conditions in this heat to say the least. The crew arrived on time and worked all day to restore cooling to our home by 5 PM. Then, what a pleasant surprise-when I was asked- "when and what time did I want to schedule final quality checks"? I had never heard of a service company doing this. Once again, highly commendable. And one more thing. My wife was especially appreciative of the fact that the installers wore booties over their shoes and used drop cloths to protect our hardwood floors and carpet while working inside.

Overall, I would say it went fine.
Description of Work: This is a follow-up on my earlier report filed on July 25, 2011. It is true that my husband called at 4:45 PM on a Friday evening to report that our less than two year old air conditioner was not working. That was when we came home and realized the house was too warm and immediately called Busby's. Of course these things always seem to happen late on Friday afternoon. We were told that we could pay for a service call that night or wait until Saturday morning. It was quite disappointing to be told that after we had just purchased two air conditioning units from Busby's within the past two years. We did wait until Saturday morning and the repairman arrived on time and was able to diagnose the problem - - a part was needed and we'd have to wait until Monday. On Monday we learned that the part was not available locally and would have to be shipped in overnight. In the meanwhile, a very skilled technician was able to put a temporary fix on the broken air conditioner and we did finally have a cool house. All the credit goes to the skilled technicians who worked so very hard in the hot sun to fix the air conditioner. My husband tells me I have been too critical of Busby and so I am writing to soften my criticism. By now I do realize that Busby did the best they could. Constantly changing technology is a challenge in every field and it was in this case too. So, I have entered new ratings to raise the poor ones I left in July, with the hope that I have treated Busby fairly and given them their due.
