Response from Air Masters Air Conditioning And Heating
Mr. [Member name removed]: We do appreciate the opportunity to take care of your air conditioning service needs. Having reviewed both the work and pricing we quoted, I can only offer the following explanation. The repair we quoted for $400 was on your main air conditioning system. The work quoted involved reclaiming the refrigerant, pulling a vacuum on the system, replacing the missing valve core, and recharging the system with refrigerant. We take all of these steps on this type of repair to insure there can be no issues with foreign matter or moisture in the refrigerant circuit. It may be a little more time consuming than methods other companies use, but it is the proper way to do that type of repair. The $1,700 we quoted to replace the evaporator coil in your ductless mini-split system included an additional man to assist with the work. Our technician felt it best to have two people present to eliminate any chance of injury or damage, given the location of the indoor unit. We always take both our customers’ and employees’ safety and best interests in mind at all times. We have always found that many companies have pricing both higher and lower than ours. Some companies do work by time and material, others by flat rate pricing. We do guarantee all of our repairs for two years, both parts and labor. Most companies guarantee their repairs for one year or less. It is unfortunate that you feel as if our pricing is out of line. However, Air Masters prides itself on putting the customer first and would never act immorally in any fashion. Sincerely, Gavin Gower Service Coordinator Air Masters A/C & Heating
