    Answered
    128 is refusing to correct their installation error at no cost to me. On 8/26/22, 128 installed a new ** condenser at ************************************************************ (project number: ********). On 11/02/22, a licensed home inspector stated in regard to the condenser installed by 128: "The condenser is not level. This can result in poor performance and/or wear to the unit. Leveling the slab and condenser now before using this new unit will prevent damage to the unit. Do NOT use this zone until that correction is made." An HV** technician who came to my home to provide an estimate on installing a humidifier also agreed that the condenser is not level and needed to be leveled. Now that summer has arrived, I have contacted 128 asking them to remedy their installation error and level the condenser. Instead 128 is denying responsibility for the condenser not being level. They are claiming another HV** company must have tinkered with the system (which is false) or the ground must have shifted (which is not true since the other condenser is level). The inspector documented that the condenser was not level on 11/2/22, two months after 128 installed it. It beggars belief that the ground would shift in 2 months yet not affect the older condenser next to it, which is still level. 128 claimed to have photos they took at installation proving that the condenser was level but refused to show me the photos. The condenser is located outdoors in a publicly accessible area, so there is no valid reason 128 cannot show me the photos proving that the condenser was level when 128 installed it.I am unable to run the ** in half my house because 128 is playing games avoiding fixing their own error.

    Horrible experience. Do NOT recommend! Called for no heat, took em 4 days to get here and was told my less than ten year old gas fired steam boiler was done and I needed a new one at a cost of $16,000. Then they presented me with a bill for over $2,500 in needed repairs so I figured, a lot less than a new boiler so i authorized the repairs and had to immediately make a $1,000 deposit against the bill of over $2,500. No heat, day 2: they send a new repair guy who actually seems to know what he is doing. He spends 5-6 hours removing buildup of soot and tells me the gas pressure was set too high so running too rich. He finishes up by installing a new thermostat and leaves: heat at last! But no heat. Third day the third tag team member, the 'comfort advisor comes out and presents me with an estimate of over $17,000 for a new steam boiler with a $1,700 credit for the prior 'repairs' oddly ending up with the same previously quoted price of $16,000.I defer and tell em I am not pleased at all and will seek another opinion: his retort: you may have to deal with asbestos and have a new flue in the chimney. But he can recommended companies to do the work.I call my son and get his heating and plumbing Absolute Precision from Middleton. One day and $1,500 later my 'broken' steam boiler is running great!!Turns out the 128 guy didn't remove a panel to expose the area which needed cleaning (and is part of the normal cleaning process) because a bolt was cross threaded. Well the only maintenance and cleaning done on this boiler since new was done three years ago by...................................128 Plumbing and Heating!
