      11/9/22. Richard came and cleaned my furnace and water heater. He left. 11/1022. I turn the heat back up from the night before and cold air. I feel this is too coincidental. It was fine the day before. 11/10/22. Jake arrives. I need a New board. Should be here tomorrow or latest Monday he says. I am now using 3 space heaters.!!! 11/14/22. I call and ask for part. She says “when it’s in we’ll call you.” Nothing. Still using space heaters. 11/17/22. I call. I am holding for 20 minutes. While holding I email. See all attached for emails and phones. Oh miracles do happen because they have the part. How convenient is that!! No customer service. No phone calls 11/17. Mr C**** comes and fixes board. Works 11/20/22. I keep hearing this sound in the basement. The furnace is just running. No heat. I check my thermostat and I turned it down to 61 so it would go off. It did not. Kept running. No heat. I email again. They send a manager. All he said was He forgot to plus something on. What!!!!! My furnace was really running 24/7 since Mr c***** I complained about my electric bill. First the heaters and now the furnace. I have no idea when the part came in. He gave me Covid for the delay. I call b*** ****. Everything they happened was just terrible. They will never touch my furnace again. I have not paid the furnace cleaning bill. I did pay the water heater. 4 people. Thank you for cooperation. I just want to be made whole. $$ ***** *******

      I recently needed service. I was charged between 2 and 3 times what I could buy the part for online. I called and complained and they couldn't be bothered to call back. I called again and they had the service person call me. Management didn't even have the balls to call and try to fix my complaint. This type of price gouging should be unacceptable.
