    In 2017, **** *. Cassidy Air Conditioning (**** *. Cassidy) installed my A/C. On February 18, 2025, a technician from their company visited my home to repair the A/C. Without providing a cost estimate or diagnostic information, the technician replaced the transformer and subsequently issued a bill. After the repair, he incorrectly stated that the transformer was not covered by Carrier's 10-year warranty, leading to an inflated charge due to this misinformation. The technicians statement was false, and I was overcharged for a component that should have been covered under the warranty. This is an unfair business practice.Upon discovering the falsehood, **** *. Cassidy was contacted by phone on February 18, 2025 and informed of the false statement. An associate stated that the Service Manager would return the call the following day. Later that evening (Tue, Feb 18, 7:07PM), I sent an email to **** *. Cassidy requesting that my credit card not be charged due to the technician's erroneous statements. The next day, an associate confirmed that, after consulting with the manager, they agreed to issue an $80 credit to my credit card to resolve the issue. This conversation was documented in an email sent to **** *. Cassidy on Wed, Feb 19, 7:******* of today, March 8, 2025, the $80 credit has not been applied to my credit card. This experience has raised concerns about the company's ethical business practices and suggests a violation of fair business standards. Consumers should not be subjected to false information leading to higher charges. When such misinformation is identified, the company should act promptly to rectify the situation rather than prolonging the issue with further inaccuracies.

    Mrs. ****** we are sorry for the time it took to issue the credit. It will be done today as per your conversation with my office. Please reach out if you have any further questions.

     

    Thank you for your patience

    **** C Cassidy.After using this company for 16 years to service my a/c unit, I can't believe they do not care for their customers.. During our semi annual A/C tuneup,I was told that the blades on the drum were filthy and needed to be cleaned..The technician told me the dirt on the blades are causing an unhealthy environment in my condo. He quoted me a price of $ 650 for the cleaning which I agreed to have done.A week later, a new technician game over to do the job. After he spett 1.5 hours taking the unit apart, he told me the fan blades were not dirty and the prior technician was mistaken.**** C Cassidy charged my credit card the full amount since my card was on file in their office.I called **** C Cassidy three times and was given the run-around..I asked for my money back to no avail on an expensive job that was not needed. This should never have happened and I consider myself being ripped off by a company that has no concerns for their loyal customers.

    I signed for a Cassidy Care program contract for one year at $220.00 and it was paid to ***** "*****" ********* on 5/21/2021 by credit card. Before the 2021-2022 contract expired, I cancelled the renewal with the company. In August, ************ Cassidy's accountant ********************* sent me a bill for $220.00 and I emailed him to get an explanation about the charge. He acknowledged that I cancelled but refused to explain why I still owed $220.00. Instead, ********************* sent me a letter that he would send it to collection if I didn't pay. I cancelled my contract which is allowable by either party and it's not fair the way that the company is threatening to send me to collection.
