    We used SemperFi to install a complete new A/C unit (condenser in attic and outside unit) in April of 2024 with a 10 YEAR warranty. The condenser unit outside quit this morning a 2AM. I called SemperFi at 6:30 and 9AM and didn't get a call back until 10AM AFTER I requested an appointment online. When I explained that this is an emergency (as we're expecting 105+ temps outside), and broke A/C unit with those temps is not safe.The service lady just said "unfortunately we're booked for the next two days" and scheduled me for Tuesday (07/15) like it wasn't some big deal.

    I purchased a new air conditioning unit on April 1st. On June 2nd, my tenant informed me it was not working. I contacted Semper Fi and they had ***** come to house to repair. He repgrammed thermostat and it worked. On 6/4 the ****** contacted me that it was not working again. ***** went out again and replaced thermostat and said motor and other parts were bad. AC worked temporarily. Semper Fi left a VM on 6/10 that parts were in. I did not get message until 6/13. I had them contact ****** to arrange install. They never did. Tenant informed me on 6/20 he called and was told parts on back order (the vm said they were in on 6/10). On 6/21 AC stopped working again. I called and they brought out a temporarily unit until parts were in. I called on 6/26 and was told that repair would happen between 1 and 5. I called Tenant to see if he had gotten call for tech to be there. He hadn't. I called again at 6 p.m. and was told ***** would be there between 5 and 8. I called Tenant and no one showed or called. I spent over $6,000 on a bad unit. I want it replaced with a new, working unit.

    I contracted with Semper Fi Heating and cooling for a new Bosch ac/ heating package, with a 10 manufacturer ********, around 5/2022, with an additional LABOR warranty. I was also sold on an air purification system, that invoice for $3145.00 included; coil cleaning, blower wheel pull and clean, and dryer vent cleaning( my dryer is outside, no vent to clean) mind you the unit is brand new. Oct, 25, 2023 I was charged for evap coil cleaning and replacing condenser blower fan motor, both would have been a warranty covered ******* January of 2024 I was charged an additional $393.20 for a surge protector. However, labor wasn't charged to the warranty company. Oct 28, 2024 the system wasn't cooling properly, tect came out to find a twisted pipe that the freon escaped from( how?) Never ran it through either warranty( it would have been covered) then charged me $4220.00 for what they claim is "duct cleaning" average duct cleaning is about $200, WHAT DID THEY DO FOR $4220.00?? again I have a labor warranty, (USE IT) which included dryer vent cleaning never done,(again it's an outdoor unit). I have been asking for months for invoices, detailed work orders, how many.labor hours, job cost breakdown. Nothing! I recently received vague invoices, but nothing that denotes, what exactly was done how much for labor, or WHY WASN'T IT RUN THROUGH MY TWO WARRANTY COMPANIES!! Their lack of transparency, lack of customer concerns after purchase, errouneous billing and billing for items not done, not submitting to warranty companies for reimbursement on clearly warranty issues that would have been covered IF THEY HAD BEEN SUBMITTED and i would not have additional charges FOR A NEW UNIT, I'm on S.S and $ is Tight! I would like this resolved and will update my complaint after I receive a refund check that clears my bank account. I believe they have taken advantage of my lack of contracting knowledge, the fact that I'm elderly, live 4 mths out of state,my disabled daughter and myself.

    This company has tried to scam me out of tens of thousands of dollars twice now. The first time was two years ago we spent $17,000 to fix our ac units and they didnt fix the problem or answer the phone. This time we learned they installed things incorrectly and wanted to charge us to fix it. After we paid them $8000 their technicians no call no showed and no one will call me back.

    New HVAC installed May of 2024 - unit started having issues a month ago. Theyve sent multiple repair techs out and have not been able to fix the unit. I am without AC coming up on the hottest months of the year and they have little concern about getting this fixed. I called 3 times today and no one can tell me whats going on. I spent $14k on this new unit and now that the money is paid they could care less about my issues. They need to get someone out to fix this NOW! I believe the unit was improperly installed and now there is major damage that they dont want to repair, or they cant repair.

    I purchased HVAC system from ****************** From start to finish they were deceitful and misleading. I got a FREE inspection off Instagram. He came to my home and inspected and told me numerous things wrong with my systems. Told me I needed new ACs and this was best time to buy because everything is going up Tarrifs and such. Anyway I ended up having them install new hvac. One 4ton and one 5 ton. The inspection *** told me they were 14.2 SEER. I said my neighbor got 15 SEER and he said they dont sell those any longer. Then the installers came. He said they would be installing 15 SEER ac. I said they told me 14 SEER. He said no they are 15 SEER. I said Im pretty sure they are 14. He later said we'll whatever they are we will install and you will be better off. Always misleading and deceitful after I learned more. I researched and there was a Federal Law passed January 1 2023 saying all **** had to be 14.3 SEER2 rating. I think that's where the inspection *** got 14.2SEER. Anyway these are 14.0 SEER2 rating. I did not know I was getting ACs that were not to code or law. I called the *********** code office and he said they did not adopt that FEDERAL LAW. He sent me to R.O.C and they told me to file a complaint(in process of)

    Having odor problems from ducting when HVAC is on. Called Semper Fi 5/22/2025. They recommended duct cleaning and **************** ($3500). I ok'ed it. House is 6 yrs old. They did their thing. Guess what? No change. Problem is still there, the same. What this tells me is that they did not know or investigate the root problem, just recommended this service. No investigation of root problem leads me to believe incompetence. They had been to my home on 2 other occasions and each time recommended a pricey service. I get the distinct feeling they are recommending unnecessary services/repairs. Upsell is name of game. When they completed the duct cleaning (which I doubt I needed because when I replaced filters previously, I checked inside return duct and did not see any dust, lint or anything) I asked if/when they would come to balance the airflow as that was another issue I was having. This was related when I called about the odor. Don't remember the answer. I called 2 times to find out then they were coming out to do the balance. No answer and no calls. I guess that's not part of the service after they tear apart the ducting. That is BS. My conclusion is that there are at least 3 problems with this company: Upsell everything, unnecessary services and incompetence to investigate issues. I certainly CANNOT recommend this company. Maybe the fact that I'm 75 has to do with it, you know seniors are susceptible to these types of businesses.Upshot is after $3500, problem NOT solved and no airflow balance. What a real waste.I left this message with a phone answerer on 5/22/2025. No answer as of 5/26/2025.ThanksJohn

    -Why you are rejecting the business' response

    Missed email that said to respond in 5 days. As it happens, the response was from phone call I made to service manager. They were to arrive at my place at 10am to check it out. Did not arrive until 12:16 pm. I was on another conference call and could not answer them.

    -Mention any additional concerns you would like the business to address  Ethics and trust.

    -Restate your desired resolution Total cost minus aeroseal cost ($3500 (aeroseal cost) AND what was the aeroseal cost?

    Business Response

    Date: 06/09/2025

    The desired settlement is for the cost of the aeroseal to be refunded. The total cost for the aeroseal is $2,360 dollars. The refund will be processed and returned by check to Mr. **************

    On December 18, 2024, in an inspection by ***** Gregnier, I contracted with SEMPER FI to clean my attic air ducts and agreed to an installation of insulation per ***** saying my insulation was not up to code. An invoice was sent to me describing the work to be completed at a cost of $5600. Also, ***** said a Plenum would be installed at no extra cost to me. After many phone calls, the Plenum was installed and on 1-23-2025, all work contracted for was completed. On 2/14/2025, SEMPER FI sent me an additional invoice for work I had never heard about, did not request and did not authorize, (Low Voltage Rewiring and Condensate Drain x2 units, in the amount of $1477.50. On 2/16/2025 I responded via email with an attached letter to SEMPER ******************* explaining I had not requested nor authorized work listed on Invoice #******. No response was received.There was constant mishandling of invoices that confused me with my loan with Good Leap. The loan showed as paid, and SEMPER FI said it was paid, and then SEMPER FI said it was not paid. Through what I consider to be mismanagement of accounting and invoicing or even underhanded business practices, I paid $5600 on 2/22/2025 directly to SEMPER FI to close out Invoice # ****** AS paid. On 4/17/2025 I received via email the same invoice sent to me for payment. On 4/18/2025, in a phone call with ******, I again explained that this work was never requested and not authorized. His only resolution was for me to pay the invoice because, We dont work for nothing.I hired another contractor to inspect the work done by SEMPER FI. He reported the work described in said invoice had been done but rather poorly done. Pictures attached. Wording used on invoices did not clearly explain the work done, so I am unable to know when this work was completed. I have a timeline of work done, copies of invoices, notes on my communications with SEMPER FI. The company has not responded to me to resolve my complaint. Can BBB help?
