Response from McQuade Heating & Cooling
Dear Valued Customer, We do apologize that you feel your experience with McQuade’s dispatching department was unsatisfactory. McQuade has been a family owned, Christian based business since 1970 and continues to maintain its fine reputation by adhering to the fundamental values that it was founded on and that is... honesty, respect, and integrity. Sadly, your complaint seems to be an ongoing trend that we attribute to a misunderstanding regarding the “Big Deal” guidelines. I will, again, review them just to clarify. As stated in the “Big Deal” criteria, tune-ups must be scheduled during normal business hours, all requests for service must be addressed within 2 business days and payment will only be made to the service provider after the service has been completed. McQuade happily met its obligations by responding promptly to your service inquiry and offering you an appointment within our normal business hours that are outlined on our business site through Angie’s List (Monday through Friday from 7:30am to 4:30pm). Additionally, in our dispatcher’s initial communications with you we requested a valid phone number with which to contact you - that of which you failed to provide. When we were unable to contact you by phone prior to dispatching your technician our dispatcher attempted to message you through Angie’s List but received no response - at which point, it was impossible for McQuade to contact you or to dispatch your HVAC specialist. Like all businesses, we do have simple yet critical protocol we must follow - our dispatchers are not authorized to send our technicians across town without confirmation that the homeowner is there and waiting. Be assured that our first priority is to make sure that our customers get the necessary care that they require. We hope that you will consider McQuade in the future - we feel confident that, like many of our other happy customers, you would be extremely satisfied!
