    I had a very expensive centrally ducted heat pump installed last year by Shines. I had extensive consultation with their sales person who assured me I would qualify for both provincial and federal rebates. This sales person had been working with Shines for 8 years and he recommended the model for me to install. I am now finding out from Efficiency Nova Scotia that the model does not qualify for any rebates. I was very very clear in my meetings with the sales person that I would not be able to afford the system without the rebates and he said don't worry they will come and be based on tons. I was expecting to get about 5K back from the government and this is on my credit card now in good faith costing me monthly interest and I lack the ability to repay it so I believe that Shines should pay me the rebate money I would have received for a comparable model that would qualify for the rebates. This was completely predatory sales tactic and is hurting me very much I have lost my job and am stuck in this mess because I was lied to. I trusted the company to make the proper recommendations to me before letting me spend 18K with them. I expect a cheque for 5k from someone. I can't afford to lose that kind of money.

    I called for a quote on the install of an electric water heater. the response was great, 2 gentlemen arrived at the scheduled time looked around and provided me with a quote immediately. Great first impression. I did a net search on the brand and model of the heater quoted and found it had very poor reviews. I called Shines sales department shortly after the visit and asked what other models they dealt with, not brand, models. The person on the phone said he was not able to answer that but would forward on via email to the another individual that could answer my question. Thinking they were busy and just forgot I called back the next afternoon hoping to catch someone with the knowledge but no. I then called back the next 2 afternoons and still no joy. It has been well over a week and they couldn't find time to answer 1 simple question. Sorry folks, how do I trust a company with completing any warranty work if they can't even take a second to answer a question. No Trust there, won't do business with this company. Too bad, as the initial contact was great. Must just be the Execs, * **** *** *** *** **********
