Response from One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I am sorry that it appears you were dissatisfied with our services and would like to specifically address these concerns. After initially purchasing a $49 A/C tune-up through the Big Deal, we began our correspondence on August 11, 2014. We started arranging a maintenance appointment for you, but quickly learned that your unit was not in good working order. We discussed over the phone and I followed up with an email to detail that your unit was actually in need of a service call first to see why it wasn’t working properly; and we were able to get out to you on the same day. Our service call fee ($119 in this case) provided a professional technician to your door in a fully stocked truck and full uniform. As I mentioned in the email, he would arrive, introduce himself, and assess the unit. Once he had made his determinations, he would sit down with you to discuss the findings. All of our pricing is presented upfront, so that you can make the decision as to what path you would like to follow. When our technician arrived at your home, he found several major concerns with the unit. The indoor coil was frozen (which is why it wasn’t cooling well). Upon finding this condition, the technician presented you with pricing to de-ice the coil ($202) and to perform a leak search ($202) to determine why the coil was frozen in the first place. It is our policy to present this pricing upfront for your authorization. If this was not the case, please let us know and we will address this concern. After de-icing the coil, he performed a leak search on the unit and located leaks on both service valves as well as the coil itself. Unfortunately, a coil was not available at that immediate time so we rescheduled a few days later when the part would be in. Upon receiving the part, we returned to the home to replace the coil, the service valves, and to completely recharge the system with refrigerant ($1511). (Total bill from both days, $2034) As I mentioned above, our policy is to present all of our pricing upfront for your agreement before moving forward. This started with our phone call when you agreed to the $119 service call fee and continued as the technician had you authorize the work that he was doing. In authorizing this work, we were able to restore the cooling to your home. I am sorry if you were not satisfied with our service. We would be happy to address the specifics of this call with you at any time. Thank you for your business and please let us know if we can do anything else.
