Response from Muetzel Plumbing, Heating & Cooling
The member comments are correct. I again apologize for our inability to get a written quote out in a timely manner. As I have said in past relpies, this is my hardest issue to resolve. One of the courses of action I had taken in response to past estimate issues, was to take one of our technicians out of the service call rotation and for two days a week only do estimates. This appeared to be working fine, until I received this post. I have spoken with my technician and have instructed him that he needs to communicate with the office on what his estimate needs are (more time, information, advice). I also reminded him of the importance of staying in contact with the customer every step of the way to make sure they understand what is going on and why. Things pop up from day to day that divert our attentions elsewhere, but this estimate should have been formally written up and submitted to the customer. The pricing was already given verbally, the only piece we had left was to put pen to paper. Per the instructions of the customer, we sent back their check, included with a letter of apology for our inability to get the written quote out in a timely manner. Thanks for the post and reading my comments. We will continue to strive to do better. Sincerely, Andy Muetzel Muetzel Plumbing & Heating Company
