Rodrigue's Appliance & A/C Repair

Changed vanity light and replaced light switch. Did an excellent job, fast reliable, I would recommend his services.

The drain pan was cut, to install the new air mover and was never replaced or repaired. When I called to ask that this be repaired, the fix was to install a smaller drain pan inside the exsisting drain pan that was cut by this company. When I said that I wanted the water damage repaired at no cost to me. The owner stated " That aint gonna happen" I contacted a lawyer, who sent a letter to the company. The responce from the comany was " we will see you in court. THEY NEVER MADE GOOD ON THE REPAIRS. I also had to get another company to completely redo my A/C because of the shoddy work. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

After living here only 7 years, the unit began losing freon. Every summer I would have to get it re-charged, which is ridiculous. This year I had to have it re-charged twice. I had quit calling Rodrigue's for service at least two years ago because they always acted annoyed when I would call them and then they never could tell you when they were coming to do the service. Today, 9/14/12, I had another company come out and give me a proposal for a new system because we can't continue to deal with 85 degrees and 100% humidity in our house in the dead of summer in south Louisiana. Again, ridiculous. The engineer, who thoroughly examined our current system, pointed out so many defects in the installation of our unit. There is a hole bigger than my foot in the wood surrounding the bottom of the unit in the attic. They just stuffed this hole with insulation, rather than sealing it with wood. It is sucking tremendous amounts of air through that one hole. The freon line was run incorrectly. It is supposed to have a loop in it to create a vacuum when the compressor kicks on and off. It doesn't. It's in a straight line. The ducts that were used are out of code and have been since they were installed. They just used the cheapest duct work they could buy at Lowe's. The ducts are not sealed. You can feel the air leaking around the edges of all of them. They ducts are also too small. There are no flanges inside the ducts to hold them open where they connect with the vents, so in the turns they are pinched shut and restricting air flow. I asked if this unit had been installed correctly, would I be talking to this guy today about getting a new one. He said that if our a/c had been installed according to the manufacturer's guidelines, we would be having no problems at all right now. That just infuriates me. Now I am looking at probably a minimum of $15K to replace it. I would not recommend this contractor to ANYONE.
