Response from Action Heating & Air Conditioning & Electrical
After reviewing all of our records regarding this customer’s project we made multiple attempts to contact her in hopes we could resolve her concerns, and find a way to restore her confidence. Unfortunately, she has not returned our phone calls. I am very disappointed in this review for multiple reasons. First, this job was finalized October 28, 2010. Almost 5 years ago. The customer purchased a Rheem 95% efficient furnace, a Rheem 13 SEER A/C package, and a Rannai Tankless water heater. We provided, and installed the exact equipment ordered to all manufacturer specifications and all code requirements. Upon completion of the installation our installer went through our normal orientation with the customer providing her with an overview of her new equipment. The customer was satisfied with everything and paid in full. Secondly, we only have one additional record of contact from the customer. In November, 2010 she called with concerns that the Tankless water heater wasn’t working properly. We sent a service technician to investigate and found no problem with the water heater. Upon questioning the customer our technician discovered that she was not running the water constantly during her shower. She was turning the water off while soaping herself, and then after several minutes turning the water back on to rinse herself. Our technician explained that to have constant hot water she would need to leave the water running the entire duration of her shower. She expressed disappointment which our technician relayed back to me. I followed up with the customer via phone to further explain, and also to attempt to convince her to leave the water run while showering. I explained that the Tankless water heater is a high efficiency unit that uses the least amount of energy possible. Therefore she would spend less money than she did with her old water heater, and have a constantly hot shower. Her response was that her reason for not running the water was due to her commitment to water conservation. I remember feeling at a loss for any additional recommendations. Finally, we have no additional records of calls from this customer. It’s always disappointing when a customer is not satisfied for any reason. We take a lot of pride in our professionalism, and our customer relations. We’re very dedicated to our commitments. If she had called we would have responded. If she had any questions or concerns regarding her new equipment we would have addressed them immediately. It’s unfortunate that almost 5 years have passed before being made aware that she feels we didn’t provide her with the exact equipment she ordered. Our records are very clear that we did indeed do everything promised. Mike Williams
