  We had a new HVAC system installed by Semper Fi on July 23, 2020. The installers left an incredible mess behind after installation that took us an entire day to clean up. They also scratched a new washing machine and chipped the laundry room sink. When I emailed, texted, and called them, I got no response for a month. When I threatened negative public reviews, they sent a private contractor out to repair the scratched washer. In the middle of December 2023, a visiting contractor noticed a strong smell of natural gas upon entering the house and strongly advised us to have ************* do an inspection. On December 16,2023 the inspector found a significant gas leak on the furnace unit in the attic that had been present since the installation. A valve connection had been done incorrectly resulting in the leak. The inspector wrote a hazardous condition report and since the leak was so significant, replaced the incorrect valve fitting. He said the problem was a violation of installation 101 technique and hed seen other installations by Semper Fi with incorrect installation. We contacted Semper Fi with a copy of the hazard report along with the estimated cost of wasted gas over three years that is close to $2000. The company owner called my husband a week later and requested a copy of our bills for three years. We mailed two years worth immediately and heard nothing from the company. We called repeatedly and finally got an answer from someone in the office who could find no record of our bill copies and said we werent on their refund list. He promised wed hear something after the first of the year. We waited two weeks into ****, again called repeatedly until a man named ***** told us hed take care of it personally and asked us to submit all the information again. We did, he said hed turn it over to accounting, and weve heard nothing again for over two weeks. Ive texted this guy twice with no response. SF had done three paid inspections and found no issues.

  The claims from Semper Fi are false. No one from their office contacted us last Friday. Before the New Year, on January 29th, we recieved an email from *********************** telling us he'd turned our information, including the hazard report I sent for a second time from SW Gas, over to accounting for a refund. We heard nothing from him or anyone else in their office until 6:53 this morning, Feb. 12. We have sent a printed copy of all reports which no one could find last December, and resent the same information in January to *********************** via text message. He acknowledged their receipt and said he turned it all over to accounting on January 29 for our refund. It would seem their request for information that's been sent twice is another example of their "stall and delay" tactics.

  I was assured on first contact with Semper Fi heating and cooling, that I would not be charged for an initial consultation/estimate on my non functioning heat pump if they did the repair. The repair person told me that it could be repaired, but Semper Fi would not do it. The repairman told me I should just get a new system and estimated it would be about $15,0000. I told him that since he could not, or would not do the repair, I would investigate other companies that would. I was then charged $70 for the consultation even though their website and their call center told me there would be no charge. I want a refund. I requested one from Semper Fi but got no response.

  Hello,

  Thank you for reaching out on correction on any miscommunications, we appreciate the opportunity to make it right and taking the time to speak with us on the phone today.

  We have had the opportunity to review the phone logs, we do offer a ***** service waived with repair, this was the service provided.  We do respectfully understand where confusion could have occurred; work was not completed at the home but a diagnostic provided so the fee was charged.

  As discussed on the phone, in order to correct this for you, we will gladly refund the service fee that was charged while at your home.

  Please do not hesitate to reach out to the office directly for any further concerns.

  Thank you

  I have filed a complaint against Semper Fi Heating and Cooling to which the BBB helped me resolve the issue. I purchased an A/C unit from the company which I regret buying due to the way I have been treated and more importantly ignored. I have had nothing but problems with the customer service team as well as the owner of the business. I am a *************** Veteran and I have been continuously contacting the business above for months over damage done to the unit and a warranty complaint. I was told numerous times from the front office as well as Supervisors and Install Managers they would send a technician team out to replace my unit after I had been calling and emailing them as I said for months. My neighbor called to have a technician come look at their unit to which they responded immediately and I bought a Semper Fi Heating and Cooling brand A/C unit. I sent them pictures of the damage and the warranty issue as described and I have just been ignored. Every time I call I get either excuses or the run around. After 2 months I finally received a call from the Install Manager who told me that the front office would call me with the details and that he will be sending a technician team out but they never did. They sent a technician someone out to look at my unit and he said that this is unacceptable, he took pictures as well and reported back to the Install Manager. The technician said this never should have happened and apologized for not only the inconvenience but being treated in a disrespectful manner not only as a customer but a *************** Veteran. It came to the point that I had to block my number/call from a different number for them to even answer my call because they have notes to ignore me and hang up the phone. I have the receipts, the email correspondence and everything is recorded. There is no excuse or justification for ignoring me and not fixing this. I just want to have this issue finally resolved before taking other action against the business.

  Good afternoon,

   

  Thank you for your contact.  

  We are unsure of the number in which you are trying to reach, we do not block nor turn away any persons reaching our Company, that is not who we are.  We always recommend that you contact the office directly to ensure your concerns are being completely addressed in a timely manner, it is possible that a private cellphone was being called.  Regardless, in no way do we want anyone person to feel unappreciated or left wondering.

  Currently, we are looking into a full condenser replacement for the complaint and will reach out directly with following information.

  Thank you again for the opportunity to correct your concerns.

  Kind regards,

  Semper Fi Heating and Cooling

  I am not satisfied with the companys efforts regarding this matter. As I stated in my complaint I have been reaching out to Semper Fi Heating and Cooling for several months and I have not received a phone call back. The entire purpose of filing this complaint was due to the blatant disregard and lack of customer service as well as communication among other things. The front office have hung up on me for no apparent reason and the phone calls are recorded. I have been very nice and cordial in all communication on my behalf. I have called and had Supervisors laugh on the phone per my request. If the business will not only call me and set up a time but actually send a technician team out to replace the unit then I will be satisfied but in my complaint the company install manager already called me to do this and the front office refused to call to set up a time. It has been over 3 months now. Until the unit is replaced I would kindly ask the BBB that the complaint remain open.

  I do not trust this business after what has been done to me. Its atrocious and other potential customers should beware!
  

  Thank you to the BBB for your service, time, and consideration. I look forward to speaking with someone from the business.

  Respectfully,

  Good afternoon,

  The homeowner and Semper Fi did speak yesterday regarding the next steps forward, a full Condenser replacement will be provided on 10/12/2023.

  Our conversation has been based moving forward to resolve and not past complaints with previous representatives of the Company.  We are striving to resolve in a manner suitable to the homeowner with expedited consideration to the lack of communication that had been provided.  All contact details have been confirmed and direction provided for direct contact for the support the homeowner requires.

  We will touch base tomorrow after work has been completed to ensure satisfaction of the homeowner.

  New AC installed on July 21. Told salesperson before install that we have uneven cooling issues, and asked if a new AC unit would address this. She text me, "Usually uneven cooling is from lack of insulation in certain areas. If it's still an issue after install, let me know and we will send a tech to see why." I asked if I should talk to the install techs day of install, she said "Absolutely! Definitely talk to them." July 21, install techs said that is a separate service/charge, and not in their area. -Uneven/cooling still an issue. Another tech came out, said install techs failed to properly check for air flow out of every vent; said there were too many runs coming from the air supply box. I was told that because Semper Fi should have checked before install and I should not have receieved diagnosis via text by a salesperson, they would replace/redo runs. I felt like I was pushed quickly into a sale.-Salesperson texts: "We are able to do a supply run at no charge but as for 9 of them, we would need to charge for all of that work." Supervisor then said cost wasn't the issue, gave us different reasons, and installed dampeners intstead. Somewhat helped, so I let it go.-Sept. 7: "Dirty gym sock" smell coming from AC vents. Sept. 9 tech says smell from wet insulation in elbow since install; stand was crooked; he recommended & I confirmed ***** we would receive new stand, plenum, eblow. Semper Fi agreed to mold test. ************ said smell is indiciative of growth but company could not check duct work. New tech came out, said mold company lied about testing, AC was not wet, stand was crooked because it was the wrong size, and acknowledged smell in the house. Semper Fi now says they will only change elbow and changed tech diagnosis and recommendations. I have pictures & notes from previous techs. I'm worried about mold. I'm frustrated they keep changing the problem and reducing the work they are willing to do. I need a resolution, repairs, + mold treatment.

  Hello,

  I am rejecting this response because it does not document the dicussion that I had today with the installation manager. I was informed that they will be replacing the stand, the elbow, and the air supply boxes to address the stagnant, standing water, and to address the smell. I was also told they would also clean the coils if they need to, and if they cannot schedule the restoration company to come out tomorrow to test for mold, they will send them back out at another date (undetermined as of yet) to test. I have an appointment scheduled with Semper Fi for tomorrow (9/29) morning to replace all of the metal.  

  Thank you,

  After conversation with the homeowner, the following was determined with the Installation Manager.  We will replace the elbow, stand and supply drops. 

  The following work was completed at the home effective 10/3/2023:  

  Removed elbow and added drop boxes for duct work. Had to shift roof **** to fit drops. Resealed roof **** with black roof tar. Replaced elbow and sealed with duct sealer. Removed old stand and set unit on new roof stand with proper pitch. Made sure unit is level. Reinstalled unit and sealed to elbow. Unit is up and running.

  Please do not hesitate to reach out should there be any further information required.

  On 7/13 I was sold a new AC unit based on their diagnosis to replace a <2 yr old unit. Cost $12K, 3.5 ton, 10YR parts/labor warranty. Installed on 7/17. On 7/18 unit failed to cool. Called for repair and 7/22 the thermostat was replaced, it was replaced 2 more times but issues still remain. I have called several times to speak with a manager and finally spoke to one on 8/16 when they received my formal complaint. Spoke w/****, who appeared empathetic at first & willing to resolve my complaints. But as of 8/31 I have yet to receive any callback to discuss compensation for the numerous attempts to complete the install & repairs. Various techs have had a different diagnosis. I also have complained that I was my original unit was misdiagnosed and sold a new unit erroneously as a wiring issue was the cause of the thermostat. I also did not give permission for my old AC unit to removed from my property and no one cannot account for its whereabouts. I have asked to discuss compensation but **** in the escalation ***** said that would be discussed once unit is working. I still have rooms in the house that no air comes out. Neither of the techs keep good notes for the next one to see. No communication between depts. I ended up having to go into the the attic on 8/25 w/2 techs to see the new issues they found & lo and behold, the return duct replaced 8/21 wasn't even connected. I have video to support this. I called **** again on 8/25 & he was no longer helpful or took any accountability. I used website 8/31 to book another appointment for the rooms that are not cooling & no callback yet. There is not urgency to resolve any of the issues I've complained from their negligent behavior of selling me a unit unnecessarily, misdiagnosis, removal of personal property, missed appointments, incomplete installation and so on. I would not recommend this company with all the problems I've encountered. They have no customer service skills

  May 11, 2023 we had Semper Fi install a 14 seer 3 ton unit. The ones who installed it arrived promptly at their scheduled time and date. I gave them installers a five star+ review along with the Sales Rep who gone beyond my expectations in helping to get a new HVAC Unit into our home. Life was keeping cool. Unfortunately, it didn’t remain. Not only did near future scheduled times rapidly decline, so did their faithful to customer services. Scheduled times given for them to arrive was always stated by the office ladies 9 to 11 am. But the service technicians would never show during those hours, instead it was 5-9 PM and each one claimed they didn’t receive this work order until 5. Where is this ‘Semper Fi’ of this Company? Where is the ‘Always Loyal’ to their Services? Where is their ‘Always Faithful’ to their Customers?
  First problem arose and it was of the Thermostat that was installed, an Emerson Sensi. I was given a scheduled date and time for a technician to come have a check. 9 to 11 AM. The technician didn’t show until after 3 pm! The technician was unable to get the thermostat OFF of factory settings so he replaced it with another Emerson Sensi. This became our Second problem.
  Once again, the lady in the office set up the scheduled time between 9 to 11 AM and this time no one showed at all! Instead, I received a call after 5 PM and it was a lady giving me a reminder call of them arriving the next day! I said to her I was scheduled today! She claimed she can’t see the schedules and had no idea what I was talking about. The following day I was expecting the technician to arrive between 9 and 11 AM and once again, they technician arrived much later in the day and gave same excuse of not being given this service call until after 4. He changed the thermostat and of course it began doing the same thing. Bringing us to a Third problem
  Once again, I contacted them in July 2023 and stated I need a NEW thermostat because I am getting frustrated with this changing its own settings. When this technician arrived, he not only changed the thermostat but also took it upon himself to check the outside unit, I questioned the reason for checking the outside unit when the problem is inside with the thermostat. He stated he needs to check for leaks and he also stated he put in a Dye that checks for leaks
  Well, this caused a Forth problem and it is major, in my opinion. The unit outside started to make a strange noise. I contacted the company. They sent a technician and I explained when the noise began and it was mentioned there was a Dye put in. This technician stated they don’t use Dyes because it causes damage to the units over time. He said the motor needs replaced because it was also super hot to the touch and shouldn’t be. This tech said he will have a warranty technician install it because it is warranty part issue and this warranty technician will install it August 15, 2023. Here is where it gets to feel Semper Fi is patronizing…They call me and state they have the part and this was before the date 8-15-23. Well, the part was stated it was wrongfully ordered, they ordered a motor for the indoor unit not the outdoor unit. I had to wait more days. I get a call again and it is still before 8-15-23. Well, this time he shows and the motor isn’t the right motor for the outdoor unit. He left. The third time I received a call and this is where I feel patronized by this company! The technician showed up ON the 15th of August 2023 (As scheduled in the beginning) and he has the right motor! After it was installed, the noise continued. The warranty technician stated it might be the compressor. This Warranty Technician stated that Dye should not be placed in these Units and if it is the compressor he will need to speak with his boss. The noise continues. I contacted this technician’s boss on the 17th. He stated he will contact the Warranty Technician that installed the motor and call me back. A whole entire week later I waited for this call back. Never got it. I contacted the office and told them I have been waiting a week and once again I am feeling that patronizing bull crap. I heard from this office lady’s supervisor, she came across sounding so sympathetic and stated she will speak with her supervisor and the boss on 20th and call me back. I am still waiting for a call.
  This entire HVAC is a costly investment for me. I was expecting way better treatment than this from a company that has the name Semper Fi. They got their money and patronizes their loyal customers at a cost of losing trust and faith

  I am
  going to mention names, however, the truth be known is the names will come to
  be told from YOUR company that they no longer are employed. For my rejected
  response the reason is why do I have to be the one to CALL? Are you seriously
  going to reply with that answer to my problem? I called after the new motor was
  installed and stated the noise is still happening. I was told by Blake that he
  will have to speak with Dominic and call me back. A whole week went by with NO
  CALL BACK. I called again and I explained I was waiting for a call from Blake and
  went through the whole reason again for my calling to Alicia, and I was given
  an apology for him not calling as well as ‘I will look into this and talk with him
  on Monday’ as well as another ‘I will call you back’ too. I never received a
  CALL BACK. And it’s been another week! STOP PATRONIZING ME! I will Not Call YOU
  Back! YOU CALL ME BACK!! This
  isn’t comforting to any customer that had/has/pending a HVAC installed by
  Semper Fi Heating and Cooling LLC located at 6555 E Southern Ave #1106, Mesa,
  AZ 85206. Your technician Steven put Dye in the outdoor unit to locate a leak
  when he was only there to change the thermostat. It was after that day the
  Outdoor Unit began making the noise. This needs to be addressed ASAP.

  I am
  rejecting on reason being, I am not going to be the one responsible for YOU to
  replace this whole condenser unit. Your word’s state (We are going to replace
  the whole condenser unit for you to rectify the troubles that you have been
  experiencing.) REALLY? I have a 10 year warranty! I should not be expected to
  be the one to rectify my troubles! Why am I not given a Time and Date on when
  this will happen? What was this ‘data that was gathered’ on 9/7/23 by the
  arrogant *** you sent? Cody W. G. was rude, he stood there arrogantly stating
  he has another customer who is without air and has to go. He treated me in such
  an unprofessional manner that defines more and strengthens my words of this
  company’s Patronizing Way! All I asked that day from him was how long will I
  have to wait to hear from the company on this issue. He treated me as I wasn’t
  an important customer at all, this other customer and their issue was more
  important. I request you to call me to clarify the WHEN this condenser unit
  replacement will occur, at least you can be courtesy enough to do that!!

Had a total of 5 technicians come out to try and fix the problem and still not working. On July 28, 2023, I noticed water damage to the ceiling of my laundry room. It was determined that the cause was due to improperly placed wiring of the unit that caused water from the furnace to trickle down and leak on the ceiling. Talked to Ryan from the escalation department on Monday 8/21/23, about how the issue with the AC is still not resolved. He said he would send a "Field Supervisor" to make an executive decision. Shortly after a tech that has already been to my home shows up, NOT a "field supervisor". It as though this company is playing games and not taking the issue seriously. I have been without AC on and off for almost the entire summer in over 100 degree weather. So far since I contacted them about the issue, I have had the TXV and the Compressor replaced. Now, they are telling me I need a new Blower Motor. It makes no sense at all when this is a 1 year old unit.

  I am rejecting this response due to only having 5 business days to respond, otherwise case will be closed. I will verify that the company is working with me to find a solution however the damages still exists in my home. They did have a third party contact me to schedule the repair which I am happy with. But I am also still testing my ac unit as well to see how the repairs hold up. The weather has not been terribly hot these past couple of days, but today it should reach 110 degrees. Therefore I can't just simply accept the business response. What it will take for me to accept the response is:

  1) Make sure everything is working (as a brand new unit should)

  2) Have the damages to my home being repaired.

  Since those conditions have not yet been fully met (and I am nearly out of time to respond to this) I am rejecting the business response.

  Again, you might have missed the second part to my previous response. The damages to my home caused by your technicians still exists. HVAC repairs I would say are satisfied. The repairs to my home however, are not complete. So it is an incorrect statement to say "All repairs have been complete." Yes you have arranged a third party to "schedule" a repair, but the repairs have not been done yet. I cannot accept the business response until "ALL" (including the damage to my home) repairs are complete. Thank you.

  On August 3, 2023 Semper Fi was hired to repair our broken ** unit. The technician diagnosed the problem as being corrosive build-up on the coils that required an acid wash to fix. He charged us $265 and left. After several hours it became apparent that the problem was not fixed but I was not going to trust this company a second time so I called a reputable company - *******************. Their technician found that actual problem, a blown capacitor in the compressor motor. He also found that the Semper ******* did absolutely nothing and left the ** unit clogged in dirt and debris. He had me take a picture of the unit to show the condition it was left in, and recommended I call Semper Fi and request a refund. I called them on August 9th, spoke with ********* and she told me the manager was away but would call me back when he returned. That was two days ago and I haven't heard a word from them. I can't believe a company whose business model is built around veterans would actually engage in ripping off disabled vets.
