I purchased a brand new HVAC unit from horizon iand it was installed in April 2025. About 2.5 month after having it installed it stopped working. It has now been about 3 weeks and the unit is still not functional. I have had 15 phone calls with Horizon, ive files complaints to speak to customer relations and havent heard back from them. Weve had probably 7 different technician visits and they provide patch solutions that fix the unit for a few days then it stops working and we have to call and repeat the process. This *** happend at least 5 times in the last 3 weeks. I am seekimg a new HVAC from horizon and or a complete refund on my purchase. I would like to speak to someone woth decision making authority there, however they have been non responsive from the customer relations end. We are told the manager will call us back and we never hear back. I feel like we are being ignored.Business Response

We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience Mr. **** experienced with his new HVAC system. Upon receiving the complaint, our Customer Relations Manager reached out to him to review the concerns and coordinate next steps. We dispatched our HVAC Warranty Manager to the home to conduct a thorough site visit and evaluate the system. During this visit, our team adjusted the airflow, installed a jumper on the blower motor, and adjusted the *** valve to ensure the system was operating correctly. Following these adjustments, the unit was tested and confirmed to be functioning as expected. We remain in contact with Mr. **** to reach a final resolution based on the overall inconvenience experienced and are committed to ensuring this matter is fully resolved to his satisfaction.Initial Complaint

The issue involves repair of a water heater. In January of 2025 the units pressure relief valve was leaking. The technician replaced the part. I paid for part and labor. In May of 2025 the unit was leaking severely. At this point the unit needed to be replaced. Horizon provided a quote of three different price options. On both occasions Horizon failed to inform me that the unit was under warranty. The unit is a ******** ***** and Horizon is a ******** ***** distributor. Horizon failed to provide adequate recommendations and was merely attempting to steer me towards a sale of a new unit. In my opinion I feel they intended on submitting the warranty to ******** ***** and changing full cost for a new unitCustomer Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to this complaint. Our Customer Relations Manager contacted *** and Mrs. ******** regarding their concerns with the delay in completing the repair to their air conditioning system. We sincerely apologized for the delay in our response and any inconvenience this may have caused. On June 20, 2025, Horizon Services replaced the drain pan as part of the necessary repair. Since the repair, our Customer Relations Manager has made three separate attempts to follow up with *** and Mrs. ******** to ensure their satisfaction with the completed work. Unfortunately, we have been unsuccessful in reaching them. If there are any outstanding issues or further concerns, Horizon Services would welcome the opportunity to address them promptly. Customer satisfaction is a top priority, and we remain committed to resolving any matters to the best of our ability.Customer Answer

We have received several voicemails from the customer service manager with phone number to call. Unfortunately every time we try to reach the manager we have not been able to get past the company customer service firewalls. The ** mgr needs to provide a direct line for callbacks.
The tech team did replace the cracked tray but could not rebalance the air flow to manufacturer specifications. We were told that a new work order would be issued for follow up service.Initial Complaint

Had a unit installed by Horizon 8 years ago. Have had nothing but trouble with the unit since. Had several service calls throughout the winter due to No heat. had over 4 tech's out all said the issue was something different. One technician advised he could not go into our attic due to "a bad leg" and that is where our heat pump is located. Other tech said a squirrel chewed through a wire- the next tech said screws were loose. Still had not resolved the issue. Had to put our heat into emergency back up heat which caused our electric bill to sky rocket. Asked for a service manager to call me back to discuss. He came out and said "nothing wrong with unit" and never called me back. I'm presuming because I'm a woman and he said "I spoke with your husband" thats rude and unprofessional since I am the one that requested to speak. Now, over the weekend- our unit started leaking water severely, down our walls ruining our paint- across our hardwood floors causing them to bubble. I contacted horizon immediately and was told this is not an emergency. Called back to get a sooner appointment since we were promised "priority service" which means absolutely nothing. Still no appointment could be accommodated so I called the service manager and was told "i barely have enough techs working this weekend" again not sure how that is our problem. I contacted horizon three times today to speak with a complaints manager and for over 45 minutes and three separate calls- never got to speak to anyone and got absolutely nowhere. My husband is one week post back surgery and HE had to climb into the attic to determine the problem. The customer service has always been horrible- they promise everything under the sun and follow through on NONE of it. Our newly renovated walls are ruined due to the water damage- which no one at horizon found to be an emergency. It was 75 degrees over the weekend so it is my understanding a leaking unit THEY installed would take priority over a no ac call.Business Response

Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to respond to this complaint. We sincerely regret the ongoing issues *** and Mrs. ***** have experienced following the installation of their heat pump installed by Horizon on June 2, 2016. Our Customer Relations Manager is currently working directly with Mrs. ***** to address these concerns and ensure the matter is handled appropriately. As part of our commitment to resolving this issue, we processed a refund on May 12, 2025, to cover the increased electric bills incurred due to the use of emergency heat. At this time, we are actively awaiting estimates for the necessary repairs related to the recent water damage. Once we receive those, we will be able to move forward with the next steps and work toward a fair and timely resolution. We appreciate the ******' continued patience and understanding as we work to make this right.Customer Answer

Horizon Services installed our new Heating and ************************ around ********* and we are still in warrantly. They require us to use them for our annual heating & a/c tune *** each season to keep the warrantly active. We are on their program for tune-***. The following has repeatedly happened to me and has happened again today. Please Note : They are still advertising on TV for people to get their A/c tune-*** plus I got a reminder text to schedule my a/c tune up. I called and made an A/C tune up appt for June 5. Today they called and said they had a "glitch" and have to cancel my June appt and reschedule to NOVEMBER. They said they were told to leave slots open for repairs only instead of tune ***. I suspect that they just want to recruit new customers instead of servicing their existing ones. As I said they are still advertising on TV for A/c tune ***. False and misleading. November is not acceptable after the season is over. This happened the same way for my heater tune up last year and when I pointed out they were false advertising on TV to schedule our heater tune up they said that was their marketing department. Every dealing with this company has been difficult. I need an acceptable dated appointment for my a/c tune up without having to argue with them and ask for managers who never call me back.Business Response

Our Customer Relations Manager spoke with Mrs. ******* on April 24, 2025, to discuss her concerns regarding the rescheduling of her appointment. We extended our sincere apologies for the inconvenience and confirmed that her original appointment for June 5, 2025, would remain in place. Additionally, as a gesture of goodwill, we offered a $100.00 gift card, which Mrs. ******* accepted. During the conversation, Mrs. ******* expressed some hesitation and sought reassurance that her appointment would be honored. We assured her of our full commitment to upholding the scheduled date and encouraged her to reach out with any future concerns. Mrs. ******* appeared satisfied with both the resolution and the level of care provided during the discussion.

I am a Horizon Services customer with a yearly maintenance contract. I am required to have a service contract with Horizon Services, who installed my HVAC system 02/2016, to maintain the 12-year warranty on my system. I am also required to have regular maintenance.I went online today to schedule a Spring tune up after receiving an advertising email yesterday reminding me to do so. The first available appointment I offered was in August. I called and spoke with customer service and was again told the first available was August. I complained that a six months wait was absurd, and was not allowed to speak with a supervisor. I was told my complaint would be forwarded to a supervisor. Scheduling at the end of Summer does not provide a spring tune-up. I was prepared for a 3-4 month wait to schedule, as this process of a long wait to schedule a tune-up appointment has been going on at least since 2019. On 10/2019 I called to make a Fall appointment and was told 02/2020 was the first available. Scheduling has now reached the 6 month mark.Although I was told that there would be a Spring and Fall tune-up included in the service contract when I purchased the system, I am now struggling to schedule one appointment a year. This has to be addressed. I pay $139/year for the service contract.Incidentally, I also received an advertising email today from Horizon Services telling me I could schedule a same day appointment. They have absolutely no shame. New customers need to be aware of their deception and they need to honor their service contracts.Business Response

Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to address this complaint. We reached out to the customer directly to discuss their scheduling concerns and worked with them to find a resolution. Additionally, we have provided our contact information to our Customer Relations Manager to ensure any future concerns can be promptly addressed.

I did speak with the representative from Horizon Services. She confirmed that I was able to make an appointment in April. I was given contact information to reach a **************** representative to schedule future appointments. I told the representative that I appreciated the appointment but could not say if I was satisfied with the outcome, as this is only one appointment. This problem has been going on for several years and only time will tell if future appointment scheduling will be any better. Additionally, all my previous experience with Horizon has been that it has been nearly impossible to reach the appropriate person when returning calls to ****************.Initial Complaint

A new furnace was installed in my home 3 years ago by Horizon. Feb 2024 my heater stopped working. I was told the tech had to order the part. I was left for 3 days without heat. The part came in and the representative said she had an appointment for the next day. I told her thats not happening and someone came out with the part and my heater was working. In the process the humidifier on the furnace was faulty and leaked water throughout my basement. The tech noticed it and called in and replaced the faulty part. Horizon took responsibility for the leak. A company came out with loud fans and drilled holes through my drywall to prevent further damage. Months later of back and forth I was told the check was in the hands of accounting. I received an email and I copied and pasted it right from my email. Horizon caused damage to my basement, left me without heat, I had back to back surgeries during this time and suffer from arthritis throughout my body all while being without heat for 3 days. Heres what they are asking for. I am not happy at all with Horizon and I would like resolution of this ongoing nightmare that I did not ask for. *In addition to General Liability coverage, we require automotive liability coverage, umbrella liability coverage and WC coverage in the amounts identified on the template.

I am rejecting this response because:Here are a few screenshots of the communication back and forth from ***********************. She is Horizons Customer Complaint Relations. I have been given the complete run around. I was asked to get a contractor and I did. He gave me an estimate. Now they are asking ridiculous demands about extra insurance. I saw the response from Horizon on the BBB complaint. They are working with me to resolve the issue. This has been ongoing since February. They paid the restoration company but we got the run around on that too. The adjuster came out and said the damage was close to $10,000. The contractor that I found estimated close to $12,000. The bottom line is Horizon does not want to write a check for the damage they caused due to their faulty equipment. I was also left without for almost 3 days. I will never deal with this company EVER AGAIN. They are liars and will never call them back to my home. Thank you, *******************. I have attached screenshots of emails.
