  Aiello performed initial full evaluation of my central AC in April 2025. Aiello said I may need a new capacitor, but the rest of the system was fine.
  A burning smell/smoke came from our vents a few weeks later. Aiello was called and they replaced the capacitor and said the rest of the system was fine.
  A burning smell/smoke came back a few weeks later. Aiello came again, inspected, and they could not identify an issue.
  A burning smell/smoke came back a few weeks later. Smoke filled the house, the fire department was called. The fire department recommended we call an HVAC technician. Aiello came and said the blower motor was sparking/ needed replacement. Our house could have burned down.
  I called ***** ********** ******* for a second opinion. The tech was almost shocked from an exposed wire left by Aiello. The *** tech refused to work on the system, stating it is dangerous/needs total replacement. The *** tech identified 2 incompatible types of freon were being used and that our air handler was from 2006 but our air condenser was from 2023 and not compatible.
  I reached out to Aiello detailing frustration/requested a refund for the replaced capacitor. Aiello requested an email with photos/invoice from ***. I sent the email last Thursday, Aiello called me back today accusing *** of fear mongering, slander, staging the exposed wire, and lying about the system's condition. Aiello accused me of lying about the fire department. Aiello accused the *** tech of being "an apprentice with no ** license" but could not show proof of how he knew that.
  My main issue is that after Aiello performed a "full system evaluation", they failed to identify MAJOR issues with our system. Because of this, we spent weeks in a heatwave without AC, had to purchase a window AC, had to miss work to schedule multiple service calls, had to spend $500 to replace a capacitor when that wasn't the main issue in our system, and had to call the fire department for the smoke.

  I bought two mini splits from Aiello two years ago. The installers warned me to have Aiello maintain the units yearly to ensure proper working condition and to avoid any problems down the road. I originally called them that first fall to report an issue. They cancelled that appointment last minute. I have since called three additional times to have the units checked and maintained and had been given three new appointment times. All three have been "cancelled" last minute (I had to call them while I was waiting for them to arrive) with them telling me they supposedly left a message on my voice mail. There has never been a voicemail from them on my phone. I wonder if my money is not as green as all the other customers they are supposedly servicing. I am so disappointed to have been manipulated by their great marketing dept and catchy jingle-I could have had these same two unit installed and assumedly maintained by any number of companies for so much less money than I spent on these units. I will be due for a new furnace soon and I can tell you who I'm NOT calling...!

  We are paying Aiello for the "maintenance program" every month we get charged and in return we are supposed to get our appliances serviced to keep them running. Aiello has canceled the last 4 appointments after arrangements have been made to be home and wait for the technician. Every time the excuse is "someone had a heating emergency". I do understand not having heat is an emergency but after the first cancelation they need to make sure they have enough people to cover both emergencies and routine checks. It sound like they are choosing to go the emergency and get paid while I still get to pay monthly with nothing being done. So they are choosing to max revenue while not providing services that we are paying for. Every employee I talk to just brush it off and they just make another appointment just to cancel the day before or the same days.
  
  What are my options? I can canceled but then I won't receive the service for which I already paid and they are not providing.
  
  I will look for other options but I do want this round of service to be completed before I cancel the service.
  
  Thanks I'm advance for your help

  I needed a repair/replace on my kitchen sewer line and, Aiello told me the cost for that would be $15,397. They offered me financing options with a loan company that they work with.
  
  I clearly stated that if what I owed after homeowners insurance coverage was under $10,000 out of pocket, I want the financing option where there was 0% interest for the first 12 months. However, I was told by an Aiello employee that I could choose another loan option today, a 12 years with 10% interest per month, but, when we find out how much home insurance will cover, I could switch to the 0% for 12 months loan if it was under 10k out of pocket.
  
  Because of what I was directly told by this Aiello employee, I chose the 12 year 10% option because at that time, I was on the hook for 15.3k. But once we find out what home insurance covers, I had the option of switching the loan.
  
  Today, 8/9/24, Aiello refuses to let me switch the loan. First they said it could be done it's just going to be a lot of hoops to jump through and tried to talk me out of it. I said move forward and switch the loans. Then I was offered $600 to cover my interest for the first 6 months on the current loan? The interest is more than $100 a month, so that was just an arbitrary number. I declined this offer and said no, I want the loan switched to the 0%/12 months.
  
  The company tells me on the phone this morning it's going to be really hard but it can be done, I said go ahead and do it, and by the end of the phone call they said actually it can't be done. The loan company won't allow it.
  
  I just got off the phone with Goodleap, the loan company, who told me it can be done, it's just on the service provider to do it. So Aiello is lying to me telling me it can't be done, because it's a hassle for them. They are refusing to switch the loan, which will result in me paying thousands of dollars in additional interest because of misinformation they provided.

  This Concern has been resolved! A follow up response to BBB was not made. Here are the notes and resolution to this concern.

   

  Ref: ******* ******

   

  On 7/25/24  

   

  Aiello Camera Technician Angelo D ran a camera down the sewer pipe and showed customer the issues with the pipe, at this time Angelo gave the customer some options on fixing the issues. Angelo also informed the customer of her options to pay for the service, such as Credit card, check, cash or financing. Angelo went over all the financing options with interest and no interest options, Customer stated she was looking more in the 12 yrs 10% choice but did ask Angelo if she wanted to change does she have that option. Angelo did inform the customer that she could change up to when Aiello completes the excavation and get paperwork signed. After that point customer will not be able to change financing options.

   

  On 7/26/2024

   

  Aiello completed an excavation at ******* ******’s home and job was completed on 7/26/2024

   

  After job was completed on 7/26/24 Chelsea was offered several options on how she could pay for the service. Chelsea choose the financing option with **** ****,  which was 12 years w/ 10% Interest per month.

   

  On 8/8/24 I talked to the customer about that she wanted to switch over her financing choice, and she wants to go with 0 % option. Told customer I would have to check to see if this loan can be switched at this time and would call her back.

   

  On 8/9/24

   

  Notes:

  Talked to customer today and she wants her finance changed to 0-12 months interest free. I explained this will be very hard to do and that Aiello is willing to give her 600.00 max to help off set the costs of her interest rates she will have. The customer not to sure if she is ok with this and wants Aiello to switch her plan. I again explained this would be a very difficulty thing to do and Aiello is willing to give 600.00 max. Customer wants us to send her in writing that we are giving her 600.00 and why we are giving her 600.00 for.

  On 6/17/24 Aiello was called to my rental home for a water drip issue from the shower faucet. The technician informed me that the tub and shower valve were bad and needed to be rebuilt, the total cost was over $650.00, he also mentioned that I would need a tile guy to fix the tile because he saw water behind a back panel, I did get a independent tile contractor in who informed me that the water behind the panel was a plumbing issue which was not addressed on 6/17/24. On 7/10/24 Aiello was called back because there was still a water drip issue and now the technician informed me that the drip was coming from a shower valve that was recently repaired and I was charged over $430.00. I contacted Aiello via text about my complaint and that I felt as though I shouldn’t have been charged again for the most recent work for something that should have been caught and repaired on the first visit, and I stated in my text that I felt pressured to authorize payment on the most recent work because of how the situation had negatively impacted my tenant and that it was my hope that we could resolve this situation. I did receive a text back stating that the text was being forwarded to the plumbing supervisor and that he would reach out shortly to discuss my complaint, I have not received any phone message or text back at this time.

  Tylon S***** Aiello Home Services Assistant Plumbing Manager has been attempting to reach out to **** ***** again, this morning he left her another voice message asking to return my call to discuss her complaint.

   

  Note; 

  Tylon has had a conversation in the past and I explained to her that the Technician found a second leak when he returned to her home and the second leak had nothing to do with the first visit and repairs.

  Lisa felt it should have been the same and know additional charges should have been given. And That was how it was left.

   

   

  I am waiting for her call back to see what we could do to make this ok on her end

  Aiello were called to repair central AC. Charged 1246.38 and AC was not working (the total included a contract to service AC and furnace). Came out the following day, charged 225.09. Central air was still not working. Came out 3rd day and claimed to have fixed AC. The attic was flooded the following day and water was dripping from the ceiling. Ultimately, Aiello arranged to send someone to fix it and had the ceiling painted.
  Requesting refund of 1246.38 as parts that were replaced that did not result in AC working. Multiple attempts at fixing the problem resulted in attic being flooded and ceiling leaking. It was very hard to get in contact with the responsible party at the company; multiple phone calls were needed to approve refund of 225.09 for thermostat that the technicians took back (as it was not part of the issue). Still awaiting phone call from company. I will not be using the company in the future for servicing either central AC or furnace and do not need plan with them.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  I spoke to Mr S**** after several failed attempts and explained my problem.  Mr S**** assured me that the pricing was determined using a “billing code system.”  
  

  I explained to Mr S**** that the technician did not preform and/or rendered the services in which he [the company] charged me for.  
  
  In the invoice/job order, the technician charges me for the removal and installation of a toilet, which is false. Why am I being charged for the service? 
  

  Mr S**** offered to have the hardware [screws, water line, and wax ring] for the toilet dropped off the following day.  After I explained that the toilet was not installed.  

  Secondly,  I advised Mr S**** that I was charged a $99.00 service call fee, when I was advised that the service fee would be waived, should I decide to agree to the service.  Mr S**** agreed and stated that the service should have been waived.  
  

  Lastly, Mr S**** advised me that he would be looking into the problem and contacting his boss.  
  

  As of this writing, Mr S**** has not contacted me , in regard's to a resolution.  In addition,  I disagree with Mr S**** stating that he offered monetary Compensation.

  I paid $1400 to have a sink faucet replaced, supply lines upgraded to current code and a replacement to a failed garbage disposal which was leaking. After the installation the sink no longer drains properly and is 100% clogged. Only one load of dishes was done and with no significant food or nonwater disposal going into the sink. I was rudely told by the followup technician that it was not their fault because the drain clog was not present before the initial service call and it must be user error. I have requested a follow up from management and have heard nothing. I would like to be contacted to resolve this issue. I should not have to pay for additional work.

  Talked to customer this morning and went over
  his issue he called into about, Explained to the customer that we installed a
  Garbage Disposal, and the customer is having an issue with his drainpipe. I
  explained these are two separate issues/problems they are not the result from
  Aiello installing a Garbage Disposal. Customer feels he wants to contact
  another Plumbing company to get a second opinion. Told customer he can call me
  back if he has any additional questions.
  
  Customer stated his Garbage Disposal turns
  on, but the water is not going down. Customer said he did throw some ******
  food down the pipe (Rice) but it was a small amount. I explained the blockage
  could have happen over time and it finally blocked up his drainpipe. After speaking to Scott C our plumbing manager, we are going to send out one of
  our Drain Techs out to cable the Kitchen Sink line for the customer and to make
  him happy. The drain problem is not from our work but want to satisfy the
  customer and take care of his issue.

  The result of the visit was their was no workmanship issues, the customer or a member of the family dropped an item in the newly install food disposer which blocked the flow of water. We were glad to be able to determinie this for the customer, however this concern should be removed from the BBB file.

  Aiello did a home energy check during the winter. I found that a can of glue exploded in my driveway. I contacted them and they sent me a letter saying they would compensate all repairs. I have had the work done and they did not honor their promise.

  Good morning,

   

  Aiello did state we would agree to reseal driveway for this customer, though employee changes disrupted this promise, and was lost in the operational switch over. This email is to attest, we will confirm our promise of resealing this customer driveway for her.
