    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    Victorian Sales sold to us and installed a wood burning stove in 2013. It began to leak water during rain events in 2015. We didn't call right away thinking it was just during very heavy rains. Soon after the leaks were dripping even during light rains. We made an appointment for a service call. a tech from Victorian Sales came out and resealed around the stove pipe chimney. This was October 5 2022. The tech said that the repair was warrantied for the period of one year, and charged us $186.91. February 2 we noticed another leak in the same place. The same tech returned and tried to stop the leak again. June 11 and another rain, also another leak same location dripping from inside the top of the stove pipe. The same tech came out again, looked in the attic, and said he couldn't figure where the leak was coming from. He suggested the he come back with a helper and reinstall the chimney. He called his boss who put the stop to that. The tech then told us that he cant do that and advised us to hire a roofer to examine the roof around the chimney, at our expense. My wife called Victorian Sales, talked to the service manager who told her that they would do nothing without charging us for parts and labor.

    Then Townsend, now Victorian sales installed a heat pump in my home in 2016. I was told it was big enough to heat/cool my **** sq ft home. It was always cold in the winter, and the heat pump never shut off. It had been serviced once before finding nothing wrong. Called for a service this winter, and the technician told me that the emergency heat strips were wired wrong and never worked!!! Seven years of sky high electricity bills and propane to supplement their mistake. They have taken no responsibility even after admitting in writing that it was installed wrong. Then I get a bill for $800 of parts and labor to fix their mistake!!! I would never let them in my home or work on anything ever again. Now I have to pay someone else to come out to find a leak in the system because their technician couldnt! ****** girls are very professional, but the owner refuses to take a phone call from me!!! Pretty sad when the owner wont stand behind his own work. Absolutely pathetic!!!

    I almost forgot the five hours of labor they charged me, when they were only at my house for three and a half hours. They did fix the labor after I mentioned that I had the exact times the tech arrived and left my house from the security cameras.
