A-BOY ELECTRIC & PLUMBING SUPPLY CO

Description of Work: I PURCHASED A DIRECT VENT GAS WATER HEATER THROUGH A-BOY. THEY USE A COMPANY NAMED COLUMBIA CONTRACTORS WHO INSTALL MOST, IF NOT ALL OF THEIR WATER HEATERS. THE INSTALLATION WAS DONE INCORRECTLY. THERE WERE 3 DEFICIENCIES. A FLEX LINE WAS USED FOR THE TEMP., AND PRESSURE VALVE, THIS LINE IS SUPPOSED TO BE HARD PIPE. THERE WAS NO WEEP HOLE DRILLED ON THE T&P VALVE WHICH IS MANDATORY. NO DRIP-LINE WAS INSTALLED ON THE GAS LINE, THIS TOO IS MANDATORY. IT IS DESIGNED TO TRAP ANY DEBRIS BEFORE IT ENTERS THE HEATER. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I HAD PORTLAND'S SENIOR PLUMBING INSPECTOR, WESS, LOOK AT IT. WHEN COLUMBIA CONTRACTORS WAS CALLED THEY TRIED TO SAY I WAS WRONG. THEY CHANGED THEIR TUNE WHEN WESS GOT ON THE PHONE, AND ORDERED CORRECTIONS BE DONE WITH DOUBLE FEE AS PUNISHMENT. WHY PUNISH THEM? THEY FAILED TO PERMIT THE JOB! THEY LIED TO ME, AND SAID THEY DID. I PAID FOR IT AS PART OF THE JOB! A-BOY IS TO BLAME TOO. WHEN CONTACTED THEY REFUSED TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY.

Description of Work: WE PURCHASED OUR CEILING LIGHT/FAN FROM THIS COMPANY AND FOUND THEM TO HAVE AN EXCELLENT SELECTION AT THE BEST PRICES.
