      I canceled the service because thet weren't able to keep the timeline they gave me. Talked to two different people on two different days to say I was canceling. They cashed my check 2 days later $6800. Now they say it will take 2 weeks for refund. They cashed after knowing I canceled it and they had already came to pick up the temporary air units. That's fraud

      WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! Called for a maintenance check up as I was a member of their loyalty program. I did notice my upstairs unit was running a lot and it froze once and I wanted him to check. Kirk Ballard came out as my technician. Told me my compressor was close to death, my coil in the air handler was leaking (by saying that he felt "oil" in the pan). He is good. Told us the whole unit needed to be replaced, priced us $10,300 and pressured for me to sign right then in order to get $1,000 discount. We asked the guy to put a "band-aid" fix on it for now (cost us $903 for 3 lbs of freon and a capacitor that he said we needed - found out that those items only come to a grand total of $45 when you buy them yourself). Less than 24 hours later my whole upstairs unit stopped and there was no power to my thermostat. We got a second opinion through Krug & Sons, THANK GOD! They came out, were here for about 20 minutes. He said my compressor was fine, my coil was fine. Found that the common wire to the thermostat fell right out when he touched it. He fixed it and put a new fuse in. Didn't charge us a dime for this. I found out that HEP gives their service guys commission for each new unit they sell. Well, they will NEVER get another cent from me. I pray they see the error of their ways and realize that intentionally ripping people off will hurt them BIG in the long run.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered and the dissatisfaction you felt with our service. At HEP Inc., customer satisfaction is our top priority, and we are disheartened to hear that we fell short of your expectations.
      We have reviewed your account and our service records, and we would like to address your concerns:

      Refrigerant Level: Our technician, Kirk ******** identified that your system was low on refrigerant and added 3 lbs to ensure it was cooling properly. The refrigerant level in your system was indeed low at the time of service, which can cause the unit to freeze and run inefficiently.
      Compressor and Coil: Our technician's assessment was based on his observations and experience. We understand that another service provider gave a different opinion, and we respect that. It’s important to note that different technicians may have varying diagnoses based on their inspections.
      Repairs and Costs: We aim to provide transparent and fair pricing for our services. The costs for refrigerant and the capacitor include not just the parts but also labor, expertise, and warranty. We understand that these costs may appear higher compared to purchasing parts individually.
      Employee Care: At HEP Inc., we make sure our employees are well-compensated and not just some executive bigwig. We share profits with our employees, which sets us apart from our competitors. Taking care of our team ensures they are motivated to provide the best service possible.
      We regret any pressure you felt during the service visit. High-pressure sales tactics are not in line with our values. We have addressed this internally to prevent similar situations in the future.
      To make things right, we would like to offer you a complimentary maintenance check and service on your upstairs unit. Please contact our customer service team at your earliest convenience to schedule this appointment.
      We genuinely hope you will give us another opportunity to serve you better. Thank you for your previous business and for providing us with the feedback to improve.
      Sincerely,
      The HEP Inc. Customer Support Team

      I signed up for HEP's loyalty program to regularly check the HVAC system to make sure it was functioning correctly. I tech came out and said that their was an oily leak in the outside compressor and needed to do a dye kit for ******* to determine exactly where the leak was. He said that the unit was not functioning well. I agree. He returned a couple of days later to say that the condenser unit in the attic needed to be replace for approximately *********  Knowing that the original heating unit is 26 years old, we discussed the cost of replacing both the heating and AC units, which would include the compressor outside, for just under **********. It would all be warrantied for 10 yrs. The next day, I called Krug and Sons, Inc. to come inspect for a 2nd opinion. He said that there was absolutely nothing wrong with either of my units, the AC was functioning perfectly!! He went on to say that some companies offer bonuses to their technicians if they can sell units. HEP is a total rip off. I immediately cancelled my loyalty plan and will never call them again. TOTALLY NOT TRUSTWORTHY. DO NO USE THEM FOR ANYTHING!!!

      07/15/2024

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand your concerns.
      First and foremost, we want to clarify that HEP Inc. does not offer bonuses for selling new units. Our primary goal is to ensure the safety, comfort, and efficiency of your home systems, and we always strive to provide the most accurate and honest recommendations.
      Our technicians are trained to identify potential issues that could lead to larger problems if not addressed. In your case, our technician noted an oily leak and recommended a dye kit to pinpoint the source, followed by a discussion on replacing an older unit. We understand that a second opinion provided you with different information, which can be confusing.
      We appreciate your feedback and would like to investigate this matter further to ensure our service standards are met.
      Your trust is important to us, and we hope to have the opportunity to restore your confidence in HEP Inc.
      Sincerely,

      On may 4 2024 Courtney and I called this company to snake our main sewage line that was clogged and would drain very slow. Told us *** service call plus whatever work required since it’s Saturday, plumber shows up snakes the clog within 30 mins and I hear the water rush through the pipes. He tells me to flush the toilet twice and says we are good to go. Plumber tells us that’ll be ****… So Courtney and I go to dinner and come back about 1.5hrs later at 7:45pm, I flush the toilet and it’s backed up again with a very slow drain!!! We call HEP and they say they will send some one out right away. 9:45-10pm. they call and say they don’t have anyone available with a camera and will have to send someone with a camera first thing next morning. We are the first call. Finally at 11am the next day a different plumber shows up. After pulling the toilet and only trying the snake for about 15-20 mins. He tells me he tried TWICE to get the snake through it…..He *THINKS* it’s a bad clog or a broken sewage pipe. Says he sees tire marks where a vehicle could’ve rolled on the ground and the pipe probably broke under ground. He was just guessing!!! I asked about the camera, he said no need for camera, it’ll just show him a bad clog or a broken pipe….. says the line must be dug up. He gave me a quote on digging up a 5-7ft and 2ft deep section of plumbing on what he **THINKS** is wrong!!!! calls his boss to tell him and his boss gives him the quote of ****** over the phone. He told his boss to bring in a machine to dig up that small of a section. Well I called a REAL local plumbing company 2 days later for a second opinion and he immediately said I’m going to lift your septic tank lid and see what’s going on and go from there. 45 mins later and for **** our main line is unclogged!!!! This plumber knew what he was doing. he turned all the faucets and showers on and even flushed toilet paper down to be 1000% sure it was unclogged before he left!!! ****** **** **** **** *** ******* ***

      On 4/18/24 I called this company to come out and find out why my moms drains were clogs. They came out the next day and quoted my mom ******* ** ******* *** *** ******** ***** *** ****** ***** * **** **** *** **** **** **** **** *** **** ** ***** ** **** ** ******* * ***** ***** ***** We agreed to it, and they were going to send out someone the next day to replace the pipe. When the second guy came out, he said it could not be fixed and that the first guy never went under her home to properly inspect it. All the second guy did was put a shop vac to a pipe under the sink. I called the company to request a full refund to be returned to my mom. I got the run around for a few days and then as of today I received a check for ***** 5/10/24. They took out **** for what the girl said on the phone that half the work that was done! None of the work was done and if they had cut the pipe under the house, there would have been human waste under her home and we would not been able to live in the house!!! Do NOT consider this company, they can't even give you an itemized bill for what they do. Beware, don't use this company.. I want the **** back, for the work that was not done!!!!

      4.1.2023 : Unfortunately, my first time trying HEP and my last time for sure. I had a sewer leak, under a rental house. HEP came out, said I needed to pump water from under house before they could fix the problem. I AGREED to their ******** pump charge, but stressed they had to be ready to correct issue immediately following pumping. They agreed. Service tech partially pumped , then the process started! HEP next said I needed SERV PRO ( Alcoa) to do remediation before they could determine where the leak was, which I agreed to. HEP General MGR. John proceeds to tell me I need to replumb both toilets for a cost of *******! I refused! HEP then tells me they don’t want to coordinate with SERV PRO if I only want to fix the leak. After several discussions with several HEP associates, I gave up on them. Two weeks later, problem solved. I hired SERV PRO (Alcoa) to clean up, and coordinate with United Plumbing to correct the issue, which turned out to be a washing machine drain line! NO sewer leak. Completely satisfied with SERV PRO and United Plumbing. HEP definitely dropped the ball, still charged me ***** for 1/2 pumping the crawl space, never even saw the leak they wanted to charge ******* to repair. Those are the facts and HEP KNOWS IT.. Please never use HEP for plumbing issues.

      The worse service. The first time the technician suggested snaking and jetting of the drain lines. He asked for 50% upfront plus charged me 58 $ for the visit. The second time the technician didn’t show up. He was late. The third time the technician said that they did not have the appropriate size of jet. He had already received photos by the first technician. The fourth time they said that they did not know that they had to use the smaller jet. The fifth time they told me that snaking will be good enough and will reimburse me for the jet. At 7:45 pm I got a call from their technician to tell me that he is 1:15 hr away in Newport and that he is willing to come to address my problem. Of course I couldn’t ask for something like that. He was tired and was late. I asked that his manager gives me call. Nobody called. Draw your conclusions.
