Supplier won’t return my calls

Before you select a dealer, it might be worth asking whether any other dealers will honor his warranty in the unlikely event that he can’t do the work, last year, I had a heating & air conditioning business install a new cooling system in my home.

One month later, the cooling system stopped working.

I had a warranty on the dealer’s labor, so I called him to request his services. For many nights I called him, but he never returned my calls. After doing an internet search, I found some rather downside comments about his work on review websites. I finally found out that he had gone out of business, so it looked like I might be spending the Summer separate from air conditioning. I decided to contact the manufacturer of the cooling system to see if there was anything they might be able to do. The supervisor suggested that I call many Heating, Ventilation & A/C companies – those with superb reputations – to inquire about specialists who could repair my cooling system. Thankfully, there was an air conditioning specialist who was kind enough to come & repair the system, charging me only for parts. As I paid him, he indicated that the original Heating, Ventilation & A/C guy was well-known for his bad supplier practices. Lesson learned the strenuous way, I thought to myself. I now tell anyone who is looking for a heating or cooling specialist to be sure to get references before selecting one. I listened naively to the claims that were made by the business himself, including the fact that he had installed hundreds of cooling systems. The only superb that came out of this experience is that I won’t be fooled again.

Looking for the ‘V’ in Heating, Ventilation & A/C

When it comes to the acronym ‘Heating, Ventilation & A/C’, most people refer only to the ‘H’ (heating) & the ‘cooling system’ (air conditioning), and but the ‘V’ (ventilation) is pressing too – especially with new homes, which are built tighter than ever, then energy codes require higher levels of air sealing & blower door tests to verify air tightness.

And tight homes need mechanical ventilation, especially in bathrooms, but imagine stepping out of a nice warm shower, wiping the mirror with your towel in order to see yourself… Of course the warm steam produced the foggy mirror, but where does the excess moisture go? Without proper ventilation, it goes behind the walls, the tiles, & the floor, all of which can lead to mold & mildew.

Any Heating, Ventilation & A/C specialist worth his weight in salt understands the importance of proper ventilation fans that protect against the harmful effects of the mold & mildew! They understand that a fan does more than just remove steam, proper ventilation needs to be powerful enough to remove all of the steam. And if a bathroom is not located on an outside wall, an Heating, Ventilation & A/C business can definitely run ductwork to remove the moisture, but finally, an Heating, Ventilation & A/C specialist should offer a brief explanation of how long to run the bathroom fan in order to respectfully ventilate bathrooms, most people leave the fan on only while they’re still in the bathroom. But the best practice is to leave the fan on for up to an hour in order to respectfully ventilate the room. A ventilation expert should emphasize that by venting out the excess moisture, you are entirely contributing to your family’s health. And if you can’t rest the noise that the bathroom ventilator fan makes, for a few extra dollars, you can have a quiet bathroom ceiling fan installed.

Industry won’t return my calls

Before you select a business, it might be worth asking whether any other businesss will honor his warranty in the unlikely event that he can’t do the work. Last year, I had a heating plus air conditioner business install a new air conditioner in my home. One month later, the air conditioner stopped working. I had a warranty on the business’s labor, so I called him to request his services. For numerous mornings I called him, however he never returned my calls. After doing an internet search, I found some rather downside comments about his work on review websites. I finally found out that he had gone out of business, so it looked like I might be spending the Summer without air conditioner. I decided to contact the manufacturer of the air conditioner to see if there was anything they might be able to do. The manager proposed that I call numerous HVAC companies – those with superb reputations – to inquire about servicemans who could service my air conditioner. Thankfully, there was an air conditioner specialist who was kind enough to come plus repair the system, charging me only for parts. As I paid him, he indicated that the original HVAC guy was well-known for his awful business practices. Lesson learned the tough way, I thought to myself. I now tell anyone who is looking for a heating or cooling serviceman to be sure to get references before selecting one. I listened naively to the claims that were made by the business himself, including the fact that he had installed hundreds of air conditioners. The only superb that came out of this experience is that I won’t be fooled again.
