  Thank you for the opportunity to respond to this complaint. Our Customer Relations Manager made multiple attempts to follow up with Mr. **** regarding his complaint but was unsuccessful. We would genuinely like the opportunity to discuss this further with Mr. ***** as we do not want to leave him dissatisfied with the heat pump installation completed on February 15, 2025. After further review, it appears that our dispatch team is working to coordinate the remainder of the work with Mr. ***** based on his availability. We encourage Mr. **** to contact us so we can address any outstanding concerns he may have.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  The business contacted me approximately a week ago after numerous days of "someone will call you back" responses and I gave them my availability, and was told they are still waiting on a part. It has been just short of a week with no further contact from the business to reschedule the remainder of the project.

  Our technician installed a line set cover over the drain on the right side of Mr. ****** house on March 19, 2025.

Our HVAC Manager, ***** will be going out to address this concern. **** called Mr. **** yesterday, March ******** and left a voicemail. Performance is dedicated to addressing all of Mr. ****** concerns, and we look forward to resolving this matter promptly.

  On 1/12/25, I contacted Performance Air Conditioning regarding my heat not working. The repairman came out to fix it and said that it needed two sensors to resolve the problem. The two sensors were not in stock and they would have to be ordered.Since then I have made four phone calls regarding the sensors. First call, 1/12/25, I was told they didn't know when the parts would be in stock. Second call, 1/15/25, I was told they still didn't know when the parts would be available. Third call, 1/19/25, still no answer on parts but the Customer ********************** Manager would call. (No one called.) Fourth call, I was told the parts wouldn't be in until 1/29/25. I asked to speak to the Warehouse Manager but he wasn't available and may call within a day or so.This wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't for the extremely cold temperature in Florida. My house temperature hasn't been over 68 degrees since this heating issue started on 1/12/25 and is currently at 63 degrees (today 1/22/25) and the temperature outside is 44 degrees.I don't understand how a heating company does not have parts to fix a heating issue in January in Florida. The company should have parts available to correct a heating issue. I am asking for your help to resolve this issue. Thank you.

  Thank you for the opportunity to respond to this complaint. Our Customer Relations team spoke with Ms. ******* on January 22, 2025, regarding her concerns about the repair delay due to waiting on parts. To ensure she had heat in the meantime, we promptly scheduled a technician to perform a temporary repair on the same day. We followed up on January 24, 2025, and confirmed that she had heat, with the understanding that we would return to complete the full repair once the necessary part arrived. On January 30, 2025, we completed the repair as planned. Our Customer Relations Manager reached out again on February 4, 2025, to confirm her satisfaction with the service. We will continue to follow up with Ms. ******* to ensure her concerns are fully resolved and encourage her to reach out if any additional issues arise.

  I am in receipt of your email saying you have closed this case because on non-action. There wasnt any action be it took Performance Air regarding the new $1,003.00 invoice.
  
  The first phone call, the Customer ********************** *** wasnt up-to-date on the current situation. She thought the problem wasnt fixed. During phone tag which became email tag, her and my husband finally came to a conclusion regarding the $1,003.00 invoice. They finally came to a settled amount of $503.00 and the invoice was sent on 2/19/2025 which we promptly paid on 2/19/2025.
  
  Now you can close your file as we came to a settled amount. I hope all of this shows other customers how ineffective and inefficient ******************** Air is.
  
  Thanks.

  My air conditioning unit that Performance installed 6 years ago broke. Performance gave me a quote of $3300 to fix even though I still have a 10 year warranty or they said I should just get a new unit for $14,500. I have tried multiple times to reach a manager and no one calls me back. I currently have no air and my house is 90 degrees and all performance says "I'll send email to manager". I have 3 kids, 2 cats, 1 dog with no air and not one person from Performance has assisted with this problem.

  Thank you for the opportunity to address this complaint regarding the heat pump installed on July 9, 2018. Our Service Manager has spoken with Mrs. ******* and confirmed that we will honor the parts warranty for the equipment. The repair has been scheduled for tomorrow, November 16, 2024. Following the visit, our Customer Relations Manager will follow up with Mrs. ******* to ensure her satisfaction with the resolution.

  Complaint: 22512890
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  It was brought to my attention that when I had my unit installed in 2018 Performance failed to register it so we can get the 10 year manufacturer warranty. Yes, after multiple phone calls and messages the manager did agree to only charge me $1600 instead of $3300. Performance told me it is too late to register my equipment because it had been 6 years. What happens if my air goes out again before my 10 years is over, will we be back this same situation where I have to fight for someone to honor our warranty? Also, NO manager has called me since my equipment was fixed on Saturday 11/16/2024.
  
  Sincerely,
  
  **** *******

We will continue to monitor the situation and maintain regular follow-up with Mr. ******* until the issue is fully resolved.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  My husband did speak to someone but he is not satisfied and he did express this. We were supposed to have a 10 year manufacture warranty but performance neglected to register my equipment 6 years ago. I received a call over the weekend stating we only have a 5 year manufacturer warranty.  She also said she would send this to me in writing, but I have not received anything.  I have had multiple managers from performance tell me it should be 10 years. Why am I continuously getting conflicting information??

Performance showed up the following Tuesday & brought like 5 different people all to tell us that we needed to have a mold remediation which should have been told to us 2 weeks prior & we could've had that done by that time. We called for a quote on the mold remediation $8700,& it was done the next wk after a *************** Test $382.50 that we were told about 2days later. We called that Friday & was informed that they could come after the mold remediation was done and we gave them the completion dates. Next wk we received a text from *** that the manager ****** stated that they were waiting for permit. We asked wasn't there already supposed to be a permit since you supposed to be doing the work when you came out after the vacation,& the *** said the permit was closed. As part of the plumbing job the bathroom was essentially to be gutted and ***laced and they were to access the concrete slab to flush the sewer. The ************ removed the bathroom fixtures to check & clean for mold & this was supposed to be removed from the plumbing bill, they also removed the lower kitchen **************** We have been out of our home since the wk of 8/16/24 and the company is not calling, returning calls,& when we call them, they give the same story they're waiting on permits and now it's slow because of the hurricanes; yet our permit should have been in the works prior to both local hurricanes.

  Date of transaction: July 2020 and May 2023 New 2-ton heat pump (replacement) installed in July 2020 by Paradise Air which was bought out by Performance Air shortly thereafter. Compressor under 10-year warranty failed in May of 2023 and was replaced at a cost of $1,100 (labor only) to me, as labor warranty was for one year only. The thermostat set at 78 runs continuously and will not shut off on days when temperature and humidity are high. I have attempted to resolve this with Performance Air several times, to no avail. Last attempt was on May 28 by phone. I suspect the current unit needs to be replaced with a 2.5 ton heat pump that will keep up with the demand. I made an appointment for the annual cleaning in February for a May 15th service. Performance Air called me late afternoon the day before to cancel the appointment and told me they could not reschedule until September.

  In November of 2022 we discovered that we had water damage to our air ducts and we contracted Pinellas Comfort Systems (PCS) for repairs as we had used them for 10+ years and were always pleased with their work. After the inspection it was determined that the air ducts needed to be replaced. PCS installed brand new ducts in the crawl space. About a year later, November 2023, we had insulation material blowing out of all or vents. We contacted Pinellas Comfort Systems to come assess the damage, and provide us with an explanation of what could have occurred along with the quote for repairing the damage. We expressed concerns over the fact that the ducts were barely 1 year old, and that the company should bear partial responsibility for the cost of repairs as air ducts are not something that should require annual replacement. The technician assessed the damage, but was unable to provide us with an explanation for the damage or an estimate for repairs. We were assured by the technician that our concerns would be forwarded to the supervisor who would personally contact us within 5-7 business days with an estimate and discount options for repairs. Four weeks later, and we have neither received an estimate, nor an explanation.We contracted a different company to repair the damage. When the ducts that were installed by PCS in the crawlspace were pulled out, it was pointed out that the wrong type of ducts were installed. The ducts that Pinellas Comfort Systems installed were not appropriate for the crawlspace as the majority of them did not have a moisture barrier. This can shorten the life span of the ducts and also lead to health issues. We were told that air ducts, when properly installed, should last about 10 years, not barely 1 year.

  Our Customer Relations Manager reached out to ********************** to discuss her concerns with the duct work installed on 11/02/2022 for $7,283.00. ********************** requested a 50% refund due to a possible improper installation of the duct work.  After further investigation we found that the issue was due to a rodent damaging the duct work. During the time of installation, the duct work passed all inspections required by the city. As a good faith effort, we have offered to refund ********************** $910.37, which is half of the amount she paid for two duct runs in question that were damaged by the rodent.  If ********************** has not received this check; she should be receiving it in 3-5 business days. She is satisfied with this resolution.

  I spent over $15,000 on new air conditioning units in 2019. This past weekend on 8/12/23 we noticed the air conditioner was leaking into the downstairs ceiling. This is the 4th time in 4 years this has occurred and yet the unit is under warranty. I called Performance and they sent a technician out and he saw the unit raining into my ceiling but was unable to find the cause. He said they would escalate it and send out someone else. I called them again Saturday afternoon and they said they needed to inform a supervisor and the supervisor would call me back on Saturday. That never happened. Yesterday we called twice and today twice and they gave us the same BS story.
