I was promised from **** that they were going to inspect all ductwork and all areas of my house. They were going to check the opening at my master bedroom and open it to give more airflow. She promised me this as a representative. I asked her if I needed ductwork She told me not to worry, and when we come to that point, she will take care of me. No one inspected any ductwork they sent athird-party out to do duck cleaning. They told me the ducks were in bad shape and they broke one of them from the Cleaning Now Im concerned about the rest of the ducks after the cleaning. I tried contacting her. She told me I will be responsible for paying any fees. She basically gave me a warranty and Express warranty telling me she would take care of me if we had any issues she sent. The job is complete to the thunder when the job was not complete. She did not wait until after the ductwork was completed this is part ofthe job scope. I need them to honor what they told me or give me a full refund.Business Response

Started having air conditioning problems on 10/2/2024, and unit was not fixed & running until 10/18/2024!!!!! AZ was having extreme heat at that time in October!!!! During the 2 WEEKS & 3 DAYS, tech #1 diagnosed the issue but didnt turn in request for a portable unit & then ordered the wrong part! Plus, he tried to sell me parts I didnt need ( I dont think he knew what he was doing!). I had to call & request portable unit! Plus every 2-3 days I had to call to see at which stage my repair process was in! Tech #1 quit or was fired & the company NEVER called his customers to see if their unit was working!! Tech #2 basically came out to collect ******** new part, no repair! I paid 1/2 of the invoice. Tech #3 brought correct part ordered but it was the wrong part for my model, so we are back to square 1!! Tech #4 was sent, which I had some faith in, as he had 25 years of experience! He zeroed in on a COMPLETELY different problem, ordered the correct part. Tech #5 showed up the next day to FINALLY fix the a/c!!!! The portable unit would only cool the bedroom! If my neighbor had not let me borrow their portable unit for the kitchen/living room areas, I would have been STUCK in the bedroom for 2.5 weeks!!!! Im 76 years old, live in a park model in a 55+ park..a home that is NOT insulated like a regular house..I dont handle heat well like I did when I was younger! Without the additional portable unit, the living room/kitchen area would get to ****** degrees! Semper Fi is threatening collection action for the balance of the bill..I told them I dont pay for such horrendous service, especially after I had to CONSTANTLY call them (I feel they should PAY me!!).Business Response

Ad on ******** saying you can enter to win an item. Replies from company after people have sent in question to inform people who act on this ad inform potential customers that the winner has already been chosen. Because of this they need to take their ad down. This is ethically a wrong way to lure customers into their company by say lies.... this ad is now a lie because there is no way to win anything. Basically a scam/lie and appears just to try and draw in more customers by am ad that is not true. I feel this company needs to pay for their lies. Bottom line. I will never use this company and will inform everyone I know to also not use this company.Business Response

Unit was purchased as a 3.5 ton Heat pack unit, when the installers showed up it was a 4 ton. None of the duct work or brackets fit , they supposedly had everything remade for install and than installed unit. Prior to install we had all duct work cleaned as they suggested . Within several weeks after install we incurred lots of dust in our house, after several visits one of the repairmen said the unit was never properly sealed , He supposedly sealed around the roof this still did not stop the excessive dirt in house. Visit after visit every tech had a different opinion. Then they said our feed duct was to small for the 4 ton unit and replaced the main duct and fell through the ceiling during install . the dust still continues and is still very excessive This year we had a service warranty manager come and said the seal around unit was missing or never installed. He ordered the seal to be installed, and said that if the dust continued his boss told him the unit would need to be replaced. The seal was installed and this didn't work. Every time we call we get put on hold and then told the manager will return our call. Which never happens . What we would like for resolution : The unit needs to be as ordered 3.5 ton variable speed , our ducts need cleaned and our roofline evaluated for any damage from unit not being sealed properly . we have tried for 2 1/2 years to get this resolved from trust , and we keep getting pushed away .Business Response

On March 26th 2024, we had (2) new AC units installed at our home for $28,346.50. We had many issues including: - They installed one unit tilted because they didn't take the time to level the ground underneath - There are dents all over that same unit,- They covered the side of our house in silicon to try to hide the poor installation - Everything in the closet and throughout the upstairs of our home with covered in insulation because it wasn't properly covered or cleaned up after - The attic access paneling was broken. They returned to try to fix their mistakes but then: - Tried to clean the silicon from the house and damaged the stucco - Tried to level the tilted unit but ultimately just created more damage to the unit and broke the new pad the unit sits on (and didn't tell us). Units then weren't working when we tried to run them and so a THIRD visit was required because they forgot to reconnect the units after the second visit. Now the damaged unit makes an odd sound in use. They never followed up with us for a state inspection. We had to call for that. We tried several times to try to get some compensation for the damaged unit and pad and all the issues and we were offered $346 (off almost $30k). Now they are Sempre Fi vs. Summit and they call and text insensately for a "tune up" appt. We had them come back to do a tune up (which was nothing) but the tech was told he was here for a repair. Now they still call and harass us constantly for a tune up obviously reflecting their system hasn't been updated.Business Response

Very very similar issue to others I see here. AC installed and had various issues with it along the way but nothing that wasn't resolved. Most recently they were called to come out and check my vents because it was blowing insulation into my kitchen. The guy wrapped things up and checked everything and said it was good. This time of year the **** isnt being used at all, so it wasn't until a few days later that I went to turn it on and I noticed the downstairs thermostat was not getting power. I called them and scheduled and appt. The guys came and confirmed there was an issue and most likely related to the board in the attic.Didn't hear from them for a couple weeks so I contacted them again and was told they are looking into it and didn't know why I wasn't followed up with. Few days go by and I call to check (ive been without downstairs heat for over 2 weeks now) and I'm told that my warranty is void because someone else came out and worked on the system. No one worked on the system. Another licensed professional inspected their work because I was having numerous issues and wanted a resolution.Nothing was altered, nothing was abused or neglected. The terms of their warranty still apply. Not to mention if they are trying to blame this on someone else, the issue happened before anyone else even looked at the system. They seem to be trying to get out of their warranty.Business Response

The company came out on the 28th of June to check our Ac. They recommended we replace our unit and we agreed. They came out on July 2nd to install it. We had them out again on July 11th because the unit would not stay cool. It was set at 78 and instead of cooling, it was blowing warm air. The house temp was over 82 with a brand new Ac. The tech came and replaced a part. Still it did not work correctly. It was doing the same thing. They came out again July 20th. Did something supposedly but it did not work. They had to come out again Aug 2, 5, 6 and 15th. At one of those appointments they replaced the thermostat 2 times during this ordeal, and made another hole in our ceiling for ventilation. Still it did not work. At this point we were needing to turn it off and on several times a day just to get it to blow cool air. In September they decided they needed to replace the metal on the roof. They came out Sept 3 and 5th. Still the unit did not work correctly. In October they came out 4th, 10th, 11th to fix the same problemwe have had since day one. It got cooler outside so we were not using the Ac. I shudder to think what will happen next summer if they do not replace this broken unit they sold us! The last 2 nights we have tried to use the heater at night and guess what, it's blowing cold air instead of hot. So now we have to have them come out to fix the heater. This is ridiculous for a brand new unit!! Never have we dealt with such incompetence in a company. We want it replaced since the one they installed is obviously not working.Business Response
