      Pre-Summer ************ 03.2023.Overflowing Condensation Tray:Service Call: 06.06.2023.Your most recent service of maintenance on the **** unit. I humbly request explanations of the condensation tray not draining, malfunctioning of PVC pipe drainage, due to alterations/rerouting, of such mechanisms.These are the observations of ****************, who fulfilled an emergency call due the leaking of the ceilings in the upstairs bathroom, closet, and main staircase. In addition, the ** unit began making funny noises over the past few weeks (due to the overflowing of the condensation tray).****************, although very rude, seemed to do an effective and thorough job. CoolRay wants to charge me for a service that should not have been necessary, seeing that I FOLLOW ALL MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES.I want to know who is going to pay that bill, not to mention the repair of the severely damaged and discolored ceiling, which is disintegrating right before my eyes. I never received a bill, until last week, by Email, followed with a threatening telephone call from the collections department. I am being charged $380.00 for the service.Thanks for your expedition in rectifying this situation. Take care *****.*************************.*************************************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************************************

      Good morning, I have attached pictures of the unit in the attic and pictures of the outdoor unit, where the drainline had been ran with 1/2 inch PVC pipe, which had been inserted into the 3/4 inch pipe and taped, then an elbow had been added and attached to a buried 1/2 inch PVC into the ground. Note:(Coolray does not use 1/2 inch PVC to use on HVAC units).This is the cause of the water back up and leaking into the home. This work was not done by Coolray. This was  something done by someone other than Coolray to prevent the water buildup around the condenser, our tech arrived, found the drainline, took pictures to document what was causing the a/c drainline to back up, ************** removed the PVC  elbow, shortened the pipe back to where the black tape is on the 1st PVC pipe and the water drained out and the leak was resolved. Customer is refusing to pay $316.15 for our repairs  to the drainline made on June 6th, 2023. Failure to make this payment, could result in lost of warranty on equipment installed in July 2018. Coolray is not accepting damages to the home.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Cool Ray installers of the unit in *******, did add the elbo PVC pipe for drainage purposes (to drain the condensation water AWAY FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE HOUSE.  The response that *********** submitted to the BBB, is false, misleading, threatening.

      cool *** needs to be honest, and accept responsibility for their oversight during maintenance.

      Thank you for your response, Coolray is committed to customer satisfaction and customer service, however; we are unable to accept damage on work that was not completed by a Coolray employee. 1/2 PVC pipe is against code for HVAC drainage and Coolray has not used 1/2 PVC in decades. Again I apologize for the issues you are experiencing at this time. Coolray is not able to accept this request.

      During May, I requested Coolray diagnostic service since my AC/Heater unit was not working properly. The first diagnosis was a faulty inside unit (Air Handler/ Furnace). Following their "expertise", I purchased a new air handler for $4,611. The day after installation I called to notify that the unit was not working properly, it was cooling but not heating. The new unit was inspected and the second diagnosis was a faulty outside unit. This second report confirmed that the first diagnosis was inaccurate. I called over 10 times to file a claim due to the innacurate diagnosis. The response always was that the information was transferred and that I should expect a call within ***** hours but that never happened.Last week ( July) we notice that our kitchen floor had a couple of panels misaligned and when we put some pressure we notice water coming from under the floor. We rush to evaluate the situation with a water damage control company and the water source was my new equipment overflowing. The damage is significant; laundry and kitchen was affected including floor, doors, walls and cabinets. Coolray inspected the unit ( for third time) and quoting the report "Vent opening on drain line found on the wrong side of the **trap. Capped. Found zone board without a freeze safety. Installed freeze safety to shut down when required". This bad installation caused the water overflow. Currently, our priority is damage control but repairs can't initiate until Coolray remove their unit to removed all the flooring, walls, etc damaged by water. In addition, we need housing during the repairs.So far, no calls from Coolray concerns department has been received. This process has been painful to say the least.I will seek what is fair considering that they destroyed my ****************** fully renovated 3 months ago. The unit return and refund under their 1-year 100% satisfaction guarantee and damage repairs. It looks like I will need to call my lawyer since they are not proactive.

      In response to Customer's concern. Once we were made aware of customer's concern we jumped on it right away given the situation. Our call by call manager reach out on 5/9/23 to speak with Mr. in regards to equipment to schedule a technician out to confirm the diagnosis. ******* from Customer relations reached out to customer to set up time to drop off spot cooler for temporary cooling until the service visit.  After the service call the call by call manager reached back out to customer and explained in detail the findings and customer understood. Everything was okay at that time. The last communication was on 5/23/23. On 7/12/23 is when we were made aware of the water leak we sent a supervisor out same day he did confirm the vent opening on drainline was on the wrong side of P-trap and corrected the issue on site. Myself and ******* (customer relations) spoke w/customer in regards to damage. Customer was notified that we are aware of the situation and are working w/ the service manager and damage claims department in regards to damage and that we are working on the matter quickly. Customer has been contacted by service manager in regards to damage and they are scheduled on Monday 7/17 for us to return to to assess damage and have our install and restoration team out to get this taken care of.

      I am currently on day 51 (yes that is correct, 51) of not having a bathroom after their technicians caused a flood in my home on 4/25/23. CoolRay then had their restoration company remove mydamaged bathroom and have since been refusing to pay to replace what they removed. Their manager ****** would never contact me. And when he did, he offered to get an employee pick up some parts from ********** to make repairs. Never once did they contact their insurance company to fix the issue. They also offered me a partial refund for service that Ive never gotten because they are crooks. I had to get a lawyer just so they would respond back to me.

      We have been working with this customer on the main level system,  The upstairs system is working properly. There have been 2 failures on the system, we have been in contact with the homeowners regarding the repairs, we went to the home this morning to make the repair, Sr. **** was not allowed into the home, due to Ms. did not want him there. We have rescheduled the appointment for Wednesday per the Mr.to get a specific supervisor to make repairs and go thru the system to make sure nothing oblivious is causing the failures. If the system fails again after this repair, Coolray will replace the unit at no charge.

      The part that has failed is what hold refrigerant in the liquid line, when the system is not running. The liquid-line solenoid valve closes when the thermostat demand is satisfied to prevent liquid refrigerant migration. This part does not constitute a complete system replacement. The 1st time we ordered the part, it shipped incorrect, this is the 1st failure of the system, we are making the repair today. Coolray is making every effort to make the correction, we will follow up with ****************** next week to make sure the repairs were corrected.

      To The President of Coolray ,I would like to file a formal complaint against the Coolray in **********, **. On Tuesday May 8, I had two technicians come to our commercial property in *********, ** to quote ** on a disconnect. ***************************** and ***************************** were the technicians on site. After their assessment, a quote was given in the amount of $2,588.16 Neither ****** nor ****** mentioned anything else was needed or could hinder them from performing the job. My husband (*************************) who was onsite with them gave the go ahead to perform the work. They explained that we had to reach out to the office to take payment. I paid $388 over the phone so an appointment could be scheduled. The job was scheduled for Thursday May 11th. The same two technicians came on site. This time my father in-law was there for them to perform work. However, they never left their vehicle until the inspector and fire ******** arrived at our building. They then reached out to my husband and stated that the fire ******** shut them down due to more work needed to be done. They then wrote up another quote for 16K. ********************* reached out to me, and I explained that the price is a bit steep for us. He then said he can do it for 14.5K. I told him that I would need to talk to my husband, and I then asked if he could do it for 12K. He said no but we can do it for 14K even. By this time my husband arrived at our building and spoke with the inspector and fire ******** and he asked why would they shut them down if they had a permit and they didn't even start work. The inspector and fire ******** stated that they were not shut down. They in fact called and told us they felt unsafe about the job and that was the reason we decided to come over. The inspector stated that she didn't even have a permit on file for them to perform any work, so she was unclear about them calling. After hearing this information from both the inspector and the fire ****************** reached out to ***** ***** the service manager and explained what we found out and I asked had they plan to do any work since the permit was never filed? He stated that he was not aware of that, but he will talk to the inspector tomorrow. My husband and I concluded that Coolray was not the best fit to perform any job as we were deceived, and the behavior was unethical. I reached out to ********************* today and explained that we would like to be refunded and were going to take our business elsewhere. He said that he can't do that, and I said the amount for the service charge can be deducted. and the remainder should be given to **. He got a little irate and I stated that's fine, but I will reach out to someone in corporate about this incident. As a person of integrity, and who believes in good moral I would hope that's the founding principles for Coolray as well. If I can't receive my refund, I hope that the practice of the two technicians and the service manager will be investigated. I would appreciate it greatly if someone would follow up with me on this incident.Thanks,*************************

      Good afternoon, the issue is not as stated, we had made 2 trips to the job site, we gave quotes to replace total service, Customer attempted to negotiate down the price for total replacement of service, however; the price she wanted we below what our cost would have been. The customer told us to proceed with just the replacement of the disconnect as originally discussed. While our tech's were onsite to proceed with the work of replacing the disconnect, that is when the inspector came to the jobsite, no one at Coolray called the inspector, they just showed up and put a stop work on what we were there to do, Coolray actually began to run wire for the disconnect for the meter, when we were made to stop by the inspector, the wire was left behind. Our tech's were in their truck following orders from the manager, until the issues were taken care to avoid any fines. The office was on the phone with customer and inspector during the time our guys were onsite. We respectfully decline the request for refund, due to the amount of time and money spent & work completed while onsite for 2 different trips.

      Coolray is more than willing to work with this customer, amount collected can and will be applied towards the quoted estimate of work. Customer can call and schedule the service upgrade and we will apply towards the replacement of service, We can do the work at the discounted rate quoted, we will be happy to correct the estimate to new price including the credit of amount paid.

      At this point, it's more of an integrity issue that I have with the workers at Coolray.  I would not trust them to perform any job for me. To lie and state that a permit was pulled on the initial job for $2588 and then the next day say that one was not needed is beyond me. When both the Fire ******** and the Inspector states that they were called and the Coolray employees did not pull a permit to do the initial job of $2588 shows me the ethics of the workers hired. To add, when Coolray was called to  give an estimate nothing else was mentioned but what was quoted the first time.  I'm not sure if the Manager is paid based the amount he pulls in but the stunt they pulled with ** sure lead me to believe so.  

      Sincerely,

      The amount paid was ******* *********** was suppose to install an electrical pole. *********** installed a pole that did not pass regulation. When I called them to let them know that it did not pass inspection they said they would come back out for 350$ to try to fix the problem. They came out a total of four times altogether I did not pay the extra 350$. I told them it did not pass you didnt complete the job. I had to install my own post, dug my own hole for the pole and used only the hardware from the company that did not to their job and my pole passed regulation and ************* hooked up to it instead of the ******* pole that was not to code.

      Since August of 2022, I have called this company on several occasions to correct heating and cooling malfunctions. Several technicians have been out with several different remedies in repairing the outdoor Carrier package unit. Technicians have been out to my residence, every month and now every 2 1/2 weeks. The cost of these repairs/replacements have totaled an approximate $4K. At one point I scheduled for a technician to come give an estimate on replacing the entire unit, only to find that is still under warranty. I have paid to replace several major components of the unit and since a technician came out yet again last week, to diagnose same issue, resulting in a temporary fix, I am yet again without heat. It has been a very frustrating and stressful ordeal as I have had to supplement heat for myself and my dogs with my wood burning stove and space heaters, on some of the coldest or hottest days of the season. I no longer have the funds to make any more major repairs or outright purchase a new unit. Please resolve.

      Coolray 1st appt with **************** was on October 19, 2022.We  found the Inducer Assembly seized, we quoted the repairs , Returned to home with OEM order part replacement, inducer draft motor for 5ton/ 2 stage *** 115k btu Heating package unit (L.P. gas). Additional parts discovered in need of replacement after dismounting of defective inducer assembly. Customer was informed of the damage caused by rusting of the burners and rollout switch. Large areas of rust found within the burner section, concerns found during led to further inspection of the heat exchanger, no damage of heat exchanger found at this time. Recommended additional parts due to discovery, burners and furnace safety device. Continued initial services with approval order additional parts.  Installed new induce draft motor assembly, assembled control board mount or any parts removed to access location of repair. Started and tested the motor while also verifying system will not fully ignite due to defective burners. Placed part order to return and continue services to confirm full ignition. Collected payment towards initial estimated repair of $1000.00, remaining balance of $1578.00 due upon completion.
      Return to home November 11, 2022 to replace the jets, limit switch, igniter and system is functioning normally with no codes tested operations of furnace multiple times and have succeeded every time. Checked gas pressures

      Returned November 17th at no charge, Thoroughly inspected LP gas package unit. Upon my arrival found main limit fault. After further inspection found evaporator coil very dirty and filters dirty also. Replaced filters and ran system in heat mode for approximately 30 minutes without an issue. Recommended that customer have evaporator coil cleaned in place. Customer informed me she will clean evaporator coil herself.

      Returned on December 2, 2022 at no charge: Performed diagnosis on carrier gas package unit. Filters have just been replaced, however, inspecting evaporator coil, found it significantly, dirty, causing airflow restriction, drug hose out and rinsed coil. Fired system off in low fire monitored heat rise across exchanger for over half an hour. Then increase to the high fire and monitored heat rise for 15 minutes. System is operating within manufacturers specifications at this time.

      December 17, 2022, No charge visit, found: Performed diagnostic on package to determine thermostat is failing causing heat sometimes . Thermostat need to be replace to thoroughly check system for normal operation. Customer will call to make appointment when she is ready to change thermostat.

      December 22, 2022,Removed carrier thermostat. Installed customer supplied ecobee thermostat . Check temperature rise . System heating normal at this time . Charged $284.63

      January  6, 2023: Found package unit not heating and found heat or face blocked and not letting gas out ,I cleaned out LP Gas orface and freed up for gas to flow properly and checked operation and filters good. System heating fine at this time. Recommended maintenance agreement. Charged $258.06.

      January 26, 2023: Concerning no heat. Found package unit tripped on high limit fault. Reset, checked operation, filters, airflow, was unable to get problem to duplicate. Checked LP gas pressure, found manifold pressure at 12+ WC. Adjusted to 10 WC. Replaced filters. Run for 30 minutes. System working fine at this time. No charge. 

      Please see the pictures attached, the unit is 10 years old, we did all the work under parts warranty, the only charges are for labor.  Coolray did not install the unit there for the labor charges are valid.  ************ visit was unrelated to the visit before, we found different issues with each service visit. This is not uncommon to have to repair 1 thing to repair before the other issues appear. The unit may not received  proper maintained over the years with the amount of rust in the unit and the dirtiness of the coil. Coolray did do a courtesy coil cleaning a cost of $685. at no charge on  December 2, 2022.  The total Ms. has spent in labor to date id $2920.69 and we are willing to put a percentage of monies spent towards a new unit, which is the recommendation at this time.

      Coolray did the original install through ********** and the unit is still under major component warranty. I asked, back in October about replacing and even scheduled for an estimate and was advised that the unit was still under warranty. In my opinion, I cannot see the logic in not doing a full diagnostic, to resolve an issue that relates to the functionality of this unit, so I dont have to keep calling every other week. I went the entire summer with no air and now I am having an issue to remain warm in the winter. Please provide resolution.

      After speaking with ****************, getting more contact information, we found a duplicate account that is show we installed the system in 2014. The unit has 10 year parts, 1 year labor, I just left a message with **************** to schedule a field supervisor out to go thru the unit and determine what if anything could be wrong with the system, the system has not had bi-annual maintenance on a regular basis, and does contribute to the condition of the system. I have also asked our manager to review the charges to see if there is room for any discounts. Once the visit to the home is made, we can make recommendations to Ms. on what is needed to be done to help prevent further issues of the unit.

      I have received the phone call from the **************** Representative and understand that a supervisor can come out and diagnose the unit. I was also contacted by a sales representative, looking to sell me a replacement unit, with high interest financing for the next ten years. I purchased this home in September of 2018. Three of the four years, residing here, I have had to call for repairs, since August of 2019. There was one year in which I went with another company for a yearly maintenance contract, (American Home-shield) after that year, I have consistently called this company out for either maintenance or repairs. I have not had consistent air conditioning nor heat in the 4.5 years living here. I have willingly made payment for any and all recommended repairs with the expectation of proper service and maintenance. I do not have the funds to purchase another unit outright, as I have paid a considerable amount in repairs and part replacements. Please provide a solution that is fair and reasonable.

      Coolray, has done all possible for the repairs of this unit, the unit is 9 years old, very rough shape, the unit had not been maintained properly for a number of years, it has 1 year of parts warranty left and the labor warranty was only for 1 year, We refunded $750 to help assist with the repair cost. At this point we have attempted to make repairs and inspected the unit to see if there was anything more we could find that stood out that we could correct before the failure happens.

      Bought a heat pump a/c system with 10 year maintenance plan. I have far too many issues with in the first three years. Days without a/c in the summer and days without heat in the winter. Too many issues getting them out here, not replacing parts they were supposed too, not fixing the problem when they come out, and not showing up for their scheduled maintenance.

      Coolray has ordered the pan replacement, we will install at no charge, the inline drain switch was replaced on 9/16/22, gave a free 1 year maintenance agreement for the delay in repairs.

      I purchased a maintenance plan for my air conditioning unit, in March 2022. In September 2022, the same issue happened again. I called for a maintenance appointment that was supposed to be FREE. When the technician arrival, he didn't preform any diagnostic testing. He just put an compressor on my A/C unit with consent. One I told him I couldn't afford it, I asked about payment plan. He told me the company didn't do payment plans under $500. So I then asked him to remove the compressor and I seen him aggressively pulling parts off of my A/C unit. Now my a/c unit vibrates when the A/C comes on which wasn't issue before he came. I advise the company to no avail. And the technician seemed to be under the influence of something, had a really off-putting vibe.

      This was originally filed thru the BBB in ******* division, 

      Here is the response I sent to the Alabama BBB:

      Good afternoon, ********************,in regard to this complaint, the customer, ************ called in on September *******, at 1:41 pm, reported a no cool, she wanted to book a maintenance so we would come out at no charge, we cant book a maintenance for a nonfunctioning unit. We booked a call for ************ same day, with our service tech, called *********** at 4:12 pm, clearing the call to proceed to her home, once arriving and completing a diagnosis on the unit, our tech advised ************ needed a capacitor, this capacitor plugs into the outdoor unit, with just a few wires,once the capacitor was replaced, to confirm there were no other issues with the condenser motor, etc.:, ************ was advised of the cost of the repair, if accepted the service fee would have been waived. Ms. stated she could not afford the repair, our tech removed the capacitor, reinstalling the old capacitor. I have listened to all the recording on file, I cant find where *********** ever called Coolray after the appointment on September 22, 2022 at 1:41 pm, to complain of any issues with the unit. See below:

      We will be happy to refund the service fee of $67.15 from September 22, under customer satisfaction. We will process this refund immediately and will take 7 10 business days to received. This refund was completed yesterday.

      One other thing to note, this complaint came from the BBB in Alabama, this customer is in ********* **, not sure how it was filed with the wrong agency.
