  Horizon services has been to my house probably 20 times in the last 12 months, with the most recent of which being 3 times within the last 72 hours.. they installed a brand new system about 2-3 years ago. Never really ran perfectly, fuses blowing all the time for apparently normal reasons or no reason they can address. I demanded they replace the thermostat, was told they cant or they have to rewire it and charge me a lot of money. Instead they offered to just replace the existing one with the same unit just new, which also didnt work. They replaced it 3 days ago, just came back today as it was completely not working, black screen, no air. I told the guy my wife is 8 months pregnant and I need it to work once he fixes it. Not even 8 hours later and its 2am in the morning with no AC for my wife whos suffering. Its absurd, absolutely horrible service, will never ever use them, or recommend them to anyone ever.

As a gesture of goodwill, we offered one year of free maintenance, which Mr. ****** accepted. He also requested pricing information for an air scrubber, which we promptly provided. We are pleased that we were able to resolve his concerns and appreciate the opportunity to continue serving him in the future.

  On April 8, 2022, Horizon's technician came to our home for a routine HVAC tune up. The technician stated "temp split is very low and coil is freezing up, outdoor pressures are very low along with negative subcool." He did not show me any of this in person or by photo. I relied on his expertise since Horizon had been tuning up our less than 2 year old system at that point for the past year. He told us, "Both outdoor units showing the same problems with low charge in a brand new house leads to believe system were not properly charged from install. System not believed to be leaking." He then charged us $1,000 for refrigerant and forced us into a 1 year service contract to save some money on that day's repairs. I have the invoices. We moved on from Horizon several months ago when they told us we would need a whole new system as the one in our 5 year old home was undersized, when another company fixed the issue with a simple fix. This past weekend the system started to fail, and today we found out it was because the system was overcharged and about 2 lbs of refrigerant was removed. Our system has been running inefficiently since we were duped by Horizon in 2022, and this weekend their negligence caused our system to fail. I want my money back for the unnecessary refrigerant they charged me for.

  This letter is a formal complaint against Horizon Services, citing numerous issues with an HVAC system and customer service. The grievances begin with misrepresentation and inadequate system design, where a salesman overcharged for an insufficient Daikin HVAC system, failing to address upstairs temperature inconsistencies or consider crucial factors like an uninsulated attic and high ceilings. A dual-zone system was not offered as an alternative.Installation and Post-Installation Problems The complaint highlights a missed inspection, causing the customer to lose time and wages. Following installation, the system was faulty and inefficient, running loudly and constantly, leading to health issues like dry mouth and asthma exacerbation. Horizon initially dismissed these concerns, blaming the "nature of the Daikin system" and lack of a dehumidifier.Root Cause and Delayed Resolution It was later discovered in June that the system's problems stemmed from a faulty electrical kit and a complete lack of refrigerant, causing high electricity consumption. Despite this critical omission, Horizon took several days to deliver and install refrigerant after the system failed to produce cool air.Substandard Repairs and *********************** Horizon Services further exacerbated issues by losing a cap to the brand-new system and using duct tape for a shoddy, non-airtight repair instead of replacing the part. The customer has made over 10 attempts since mid-June to contact a manager, but concerns have not been escalated. Technicians were repeatedly sent to "pacify" the customer, and a manager made only two unreturned calls. Emails have gone unanswered, and the initial salesman left the company. The customer also reports being upsold another unit despite the ongoing problems.The customer seeks a fair resolution, including a thorough system assessment and correction, compensation for financial losses, and a formal apology for the "egregious customer service."

Our Field Supervisor recently visited *** and Mrs. ********* home to review the concerns they had with the heat pump installed on March 6, 2025.

  1. Failure to keep appointments. 2. ********************** claims. See explanation below.

  Business Response

We sincerely apologized for the inconvenience and assured him the matter would be addressed internally.

Mr. ******* expressed that he is satisfied with the resolution at this time, pending the completion of the scheduled service on June 17.

  Better Business Bureau:
  
  I reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, which has 2 parts.  Part 1, failure to perform scheduled service has been resolved as the postponed service was performed on June 17th as scheduled.  We'll see what the future brings.  However, Part 2 regarding marketing claims is more complex and I can not say it has been resolved or not at this time.  The company's response did not address my complaint regarding the continuous marketing for 'same-day' service, a claim which is doubtful at best for good reason.  I pay for an annual 'priority service contract.  I have had 'no heat' emergencies.  I did not get 'same-day' service, and the technician was unable to resolve my problem for days, in one case for weeks.  So, it will take some time for me to trust Horizon to honor commitments to existing customers while they are trolling for additional work.  I hope I don't need to but rest assured that I will file additional complaints as warranted.
  
  Regards,
  
  ***** *******

  I purchased a HVAC unit from Horizon Services that includes a 10 year warranty. In addition to the warranty, I purchase an annual maintenance package as per Horizon Services contract requirement. I received my annual AC maintenance service and was informed there was a system part that failed and would need to be replaced. On 4/9 the technician came out to complete the repair and told me that the part is not covered under the warranty because in the system Horizon Services has my warranty for 1 year. I explained that I have a 10 year warranty and have never paid for any repairs or parts for the unit. The technician was unable to explain the why his system says I have a 1 year warranty and was completely ignorant of the warranty and coverage. I called Horizon Services requesting to speak to a manager because if the system says I have a 1 year warranty when my contract says I have a 10 year warranty that is a bigger issue. It appears to me as the customer that ********************** is not trying to honor the warranty outlined in the contract signed. It has been 3 weeks and several calls to Horizon Services to get this issue resolved and I have been unsuccessful in getting the matter resolved. Horizon Services in in breech of the signed contract and refuses to provide the appropriate customer service to resolve this matter.

  Our Service Manager spoke with Ms. ***** regarding her concern about the warranty for the gas furnace and air conditioning system installed by Horizon on June 10, 2017. Upon review, our Service Manager confirmed that the equipment is under warranty and identified that there had been a previous input error regarding the warranty details. After receiving the BBB complaint, our Customer Relations Manager promptly reached out to Ms. ****** confirmed her warranty coverage, and ensured that the necessary work was completed at no charge under the terms of her warranty. To acknowledge the delay in our response and her understandable frustration, we also offered Ms. ***** a complimentary one-year maintenance plan. She expressed satisfaction with our follow-up calls and efforts to resolve the matter.

  I had Horizon come out around March 12th to set up service accounts with them. A tech replaced a nozzle on my oil broiler. Since then it went south. I had a leak in one of my pipes so a gentleman came out to fix it. Ended up needing a new shut off valve since ours was broken. The plumber that came to replace it all increased our water pressure by a lot. We started to have issues with our hot water that evening. Left it for a week since were getting other work done in the house. Finally had enough and called them out. Someone came out and told us our mixing valve was now faulty and we needed a new one. ***** later and we still dont have hot water but now our psi is to high and our pressure release valve dumped out about 3in of water by our new walls. Called horizon and they sent someone out. Told us we had an auto fill and the previous guy didnt empty out the water in broiler so it caused to much pressure, later find out we dont have an autofill as they said. Got the psi down and the hot water was okay. But then it wasnt. Our pressure release valve again dumped out water all over the floor and our psi was back up again. Called another company to come out and check the work horizon did and was told we didnt need. New mixing valve and that we had a leak in the main coil, that hes confident happened when they replaced the pipe and upped the pressure(since this all coincidentally happened after the pipe repair). So now 3k later we have to get an electric water heater. I was told I would hear from someone in 12 business hours but here we are 48 hours later no response. This is the most unethical company *** had come to my home.

  It's incredible. In August i buy an annual membership, and try to schedule a maintenance service which they say this membership pays for. Well. the earliest date i get is December. So i book December. The day before the service they leave a voice mail that they can't come, they are overbooked. So i call back and rebook. The earliest is Feb 10th, 2025. Of course i stay home from work to be there for them. Would you believe it, in the middle of the window they gave me, they leave same voicemail as in December: they are overbooked. I have to call and reschedule. I am ******** is obvious: they take your money, making promises, and then are unable or unwilling to actually follow through.

  I signed up for Horizon's yearly maintenance program. I am supposed to have a winter and summer service. In November, I tried to schedule my winter service and didn't get an appointment until today 2/3/2025 which was supposed to be from 8-12. I got call at 8:00 saying they had to reschedule my appointment due to too many emergency appointments for the day. That would have been understandable if, when trying to reschedule my appointment, I didn't have to wait until July 7th for my reschedule. I paid in advance for a service that Horizon doesn't prioritize and doesn't care about since I already paid them. This is unacceptable to have to wait this long for a reschedule. Since my first appointment is not until July, I have no time after that to schedule my second maintenance appointment before my year is expired. The person on the phone with whom I rescheduled was apologetic but that doesn't help the fact that I paid for a service I am not getting.

Additionally, our Customer Relations Manager followed up on 2/19/25 and again on 2/20/25 to ensure everything was completed to his satisfaction. We encourage Mr. ***** to reach out if he has any further concerns.

  Horizon home services came out on January 16, 2025 to service my furnace. I paid them $652 to replace the igniter in the furnace. my dispute with them is due to the fact that they left override cables on my furnace. Which overrides the thermostat and left my furnace running for a day and a half. This is a home that I dont live in all the time. This could have potentially caused fire her as when I got to the house a day and a half later the walls were so hot. You couldnt touch them. I filed a complaint with Horizon services two weeks ago and Ive attempted to reach out to them multiple times and they will not call meback. Im concerned about damage that was done to a 37 year old furnace along with the wasted propane due to their technicians fault. Ive been trying to handle this on my own, but its been two weeks and they wont return my phone calls. Hopefully I can get some helpand some resolution on this matter. Im just trying to get some of the money back for the propane that was lost due to their technician Overriding my thermostat causing my furnace to run for a day and a half.

  My heating system is constantly shutting down in the middle of the winter, triggered by a failure in the humidifier. Horizon has commercials on TV claiming that they would fix any problems within 24 hours and this is and he is leading commercial. My system shut down on Monday, They came to fix it yesterday and they promised To send a crew to continue fixing the issue and they never showed up. They didnt call either. I just called them and they said that they dont have people until next week and I am concerned because the humidity Is low and Winds are high, which is a perfect environment to initiate fires. This is exactly what is happening in **********. I am tired of Horizon because is the same story all the time?
