    Product Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    On April 2, 2021, Reliable Heat and Air came to my home to clean the ductwork. In the process of cleaning the air returns, a worker fell through the bedroom ceiling from the attic. Drywall, debris, and dust, insulation, and numerous allergens were spread throughout my home. I have severe allergies, chronic bronchitis, chronic sinusitis, and problems with my lungs and with breathing. Immediately, at the time of the incident, I became severely ill and developed acute bronchitis, shortness of breath, and tremendous difficulty breathing. I have been unable to stay in my home, with the exception of a bedroom that was closed at the time of the incident. Even there, I have extreme difficulty breathing. Their insurance has paid for the cleaning of the house, the drywall ceiling repair, and painting of the ceiling. I have asked them to come install us lights and an ionizer to clean the air. They refuse and will no longer even talk to me or let me talk to the owner.
