    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    Very poor customer service and lack of accountability from the owner, Bob B******. On 01/27 I contacted Air Specialties (AS) to help with a furnace issues in which our furnace stopped working. AS tech diagnosed the problem being a Gas Valve or a Circuit Board. He recommended purchasing both since it is hard to determine which one is causing the furnace not to run properly and discharge heat since the fuse continued to blow once turned on. AS informed us that he believes the issue is the Gas Valve so once the part arrives, he will change that first in order to receive a refund for the Circuit Board. I received a call that the parts arrived on 01/28 and AS will be over to install the Gas Valve. AS installed the Gas Valve but he mentioned that it should not take 3 cycles for the furnace to finally push out the heat. AS sat down trying to figure the issue out for a couple of hrs but was unable to have the furnace run at it's full potential and kick on right away. In total, I paid $1,345, including the refund of the Circuit Board. Labor was $1,000 and the part was $345. Prior to installing the Gas Valve we were informed that it should only take an hour. Given the initial diagnostic and install, most of the time was spent just looking at the issue and YouTubing the issue without any results. On 03/01 the furnace was no longer turning on again so I called AS requesting they take a look at the furnace with the possibility of a more senior HVAC who may know what the issue is which caused the furnace to turn on after 3 times since 01/28 and now on 03/01 running through all 4 cycles and then turning off without producing heat…VEIW SCREENSHOTS OF THE CONTINUED STORY AS THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH CHARACTERS TO EXPLAIN EVERYTHING. ALSO, I PROVIDED SCREENSHOTS OF THE BILLS AND NEVER WAS IT INDICATED THAT THE GAS VALVE WAS ADJUSTED BY AIR SPECIALTIES AND I ALSO DID NOT WITNESS IT WATCHING BOTH JOBS. LIES BY THE OWENER AND AIR SPECIALTIES.

    There comes a time in everyone’s life when we have to make decisions on who we are and what we want to represent to the world. In both our professional and personal lives we must stand for something and stand behind something with integrity and honor. I hired this company to repair my boiler as the previous owner had a service contract with them so I found it only right to keep it. Recently my boiler has been experiencing problems so I called the company I could trust. Their fee is $179 to have the technician come to repair the boiler in addition to parts & additional repair time. As a business they are entitled to charge whatever fee they want and as a consumer I can accept or look elsewhere. I decided to accept but I asked that they simply Not simply turn on the boiler temporarily at a fee of $179. Let me make one thing crystal clear I am in no way expecting everything to be repaired for $179 I was expecting and willing to accept additional charges for parts & the technicians work. But what I did not expect was for the technician to turn on the boiler and for it to stop working three hours later. My conversation was that my boiler is fairly new and there was two parts that needed to be replaced assured me that his work would keep the boiler running and the parts that needed to be replaced were to prevent the boiler from failing in its entirety. Three hours after the technician left the boiler stopped working. I called the office and left a voicemail. I informed them that the boiler as well as the hot water was not working and I waited for a return called. my illness was triggered by the extreme cold and I was hospitalized that evening. When I called the office back a day later I was told that I had to pay another $179 for the technician to return to “fix” the boiler again all this while they work on invoicing and ordering the parts that I needed. I know I’m from a different time when integrity was more dominant, and people backed their workmanship with guarantees.
