      Complaint Type:
      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Answered
      This complaint is based on a failure to provide appropriate service of our heating and hot water system which we pay $250.95 annually for that service to be available. On January 8th 2024 a technician came to our home from Petro to do a routine cleaning of our filters do to low water pressure in the home. That technician damaged our drain box which Petro communicated they would order a replacement and return (this never happened) After the cleaning of the filter days later our system began to shut down when running hot water in the shower and showed an error code 11 which we called Petro to have another technician come to resolve this issue. From early January onward we had 5 separate technicians come to our home and explain to us 5 different root causes with each visit requiring the technician to return at a later after ordering necessary parts. On multiple occasions throughout this process we were given dates that a technician would come for a follow up visit and 3 separate times those appointments were either canceled day of (plumbing issue sited, not their responsibility) or were never scheduled by the original person who said they would schedule the follow up. This past Friday was one such exchange where we were told after a cancellation on Wednesday they would reschedule to Friday the 9th and then on the 9th when we called to confirm they did not have us on the schedule. The technician who came to our home informed us once again the issue was not what was previously shared and he needed a different part, he stated he would submit the order and assured us he would contact his boss and make sure he was scheduled to be at our home first thing Monday morning. Today Monday February 12th my wife called in and sure enough no scheduled appointment and the part had not been ordered and the earliest they can have it is Tuesday or Wednesday. We have had cold showers since January 8th and Petro has not met their obligation based on our service contract.

      EXTREMELY UNETHICAL COMPANY**DO NOT SIGN A CONTRACT WITH THEM*** Received an offer in the mail in Nov. 2022 for $125 off my first delivery if I signed a 1 year contract for auto deliveries. I asked at least **5 TIMES** if the rates would be comparable to what I was now paying with my local company. I was repeatedly assured that their rates were comparable! They would also cap my price at the going rate which was ****. Price would go down if rates dropped but would never go higher. Like I said, assured repeatedly that they were priced the same. I just had a delivery last week and was charged the cap price of $****, checked with my local company and the price that day was $3.38!! When I phoned to inquire why the rate was so high, she stated that they will ALWAYS be $1 - $1.50 more per gallon!! That is in complete contradiction to what I was told when they were convincing me to sign the contract! It has cost me well over $600 so far to save that $125. No idea how this company is continuing to get away with basically stealing from people. Also going to try filing a complaint with the BBB. This company needs to be stopped. Do yourself a favor and read the reviews, I am not the only one. Shame on them to lie to people like this at time when most are struggling.
