****************** installed a heat pump at our residence in September 2024. During installation they also changed the orientation of the furnace feom vertical to horizontal. We experienced issues with the system in June 2025. We called **********, they sent a ********** who said the registers were closed which created the issue. He also said the unit needed to be cleaned and a track needed to be built to hold the filter in place. We paid over $600 on advance for the service call and the cleaning.A second ********** then came out, found water in the drip pan and said ********** must have driven a s**** into the drip pan when they changed the orientation of the furnace, resulting in a steady drip. He informed that the pan would need to be ordered and agreed that the track for the filter and drip pan were ********** responsibility because they changed the orientation of the furnace. There has been no follow up or response to text messages to the ********** (******) and no resolution when calling the office. The customer ********************** representative commented that even she count figure out what was going on with the request. Highly unsatisfactory.Business Response

We are scheduled to return on 8/22/25 to replace the drain pan and put in a filter track under warranty. I have spoken to our customers about the return trip and they are satisifed with the solution. The money that they had paid for a repair was actually for a blower pull and clean on the furnace, which was not installed by us and was not under warranty.Initial Complaint

I have a very large house that is a licensed assisted living facility. It gets inspected annually by the state. This includes temperatures of all the rooms I have never had a citation.With that said one of my furnaces needed a replacement part which cost about $1000 I talked to a couple different companies. Because of the temperatures rising in **********, I decided to inquire about an AC unit and was told by all the companies, it would be better to put in an AC unit with a new furnace instead of connectingit to the old. After months of talking to people, I went with ******** because of their 12 year warranty they promised. After the furnace was installed, they said they checked all of the vents and heat and cold was coming through to all of the vents. Within a month my furnace was not getting heat to the furthest away room, which I never had problems with the old furnace getting heat to all of the rooms. They came out couple different times and said it must be something with my venting and didn't fix anything. Did not give me a bid to fix anything ********** my ac is frozen and it is not working at all. I called, the lady said no charge. The service tech said there would be a charge if it is the vent. This cost me $30k it is not ok to charge more fore a non working unit. When he left he told staff he doesn't know why it has ice all over the coils inside and outside and we will have to call back and do without ac u till it thaws. No I just got a bill for $109. Nothing is fixed on this brand new unit. Crooks! All I am asking for is what I paid for and I relied on the professionals to make sure $30 gave me working ac and heat .Business Response

We have spoken with our customer and have solid next steps in place to address her issues. We are scheduling a senior technician to her home with management oversight to ensure that we address her concerns. We are also reimbursing her for an invoice, and have given her a 3 year membership as an apology for the experience she has had so far. We will be working with her further to ensure that her needs are taken care of.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:
As of today, I still do not have a working AC unit. ******** is at the property and said the unit it the correct size for the house and the reason for it not working properly is because of a dirty air filter which they replace the last time they were there on July 2nd. I have spoke to ***** at ******** to let her know this is not a solution. I am wanting a refund as discussed above which ***** said it will be in the mail. I am of course happy to accept a 3 year extended parts and labor warranty. However this is useless if they are not going to fix it. I feel they are trying to come up with any excuse. The bottom line is I want what I paid for. Today I gave them proof the State of Washington has not cited me prior to the installation of this unit for incorrect room temperatures. I also provided them with a copy of the *** 388-78A-2990. That shows the required room temperatures of assisted living facilities. ***** stated they are going to have a discussion and get back to me with a better solution.
Sincerely,

The customer and I have spoken over the phone and I scheduled out Installation Manager and Service Manager to the house. They will be there this afternoon to meet with our customer, review the existing install and home, and then provide solutions.Customer Answer

I did not realize it has been 7 days. Mercurios still has not fixed the problem. They are scheduled to come out again tomorrow to close of a ceiling vent in the basement and install a new thermostat with 2 sensors one for each floor. They said they are hoping this will regulate the temperature on each floor. I am sceptical but agreed to try it. I don't understand how the cooling will reach the upstairs with a sensor telling it the temperature when it has been on all day during hot days and it still does not cool the upstairs and main floor below 77 Fingers crossed Complaint ******** ***** WetterlindBusiness Response

We have actually completed all of the work that we promised the customer. We were clear that the additional steps we were taking for free would not 100% solve what her expectations were since this is an existing home design issue, not an equipment issue. Heat always rises, and with a multiple story home, the upper levels will naturally be warmer than the lower levels. In addition, some of the residents leave their windows open to smoke, which allows the rooms to warm up while the windows are open. The customer also acknowledged that the old system did not have air conditioning for the last 10 years, so there is no comparison that can be done with a previous system. We have performed multiple evaluations of the system and the home and have determined that the equipment is operating as intended to manufacturer specifications. There is no further work to be done at the home.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:I do understand that you have tried different things to fix the situation. The reason why I am rejecting this is because I paid $30,000 for something that doesn't work for my house. I don't know what the solution is. You did say that you were giving me three years of the warranty at no cost. And then I will pay for the extended warranty after that point.
I will also continue to try to find other solutions to heating and cooling my house. I will let you know what I find out.. I understand that there's probably nothing more to be done with this case with a Better Business Bureau other than if you could respond to let me know if you're still going to honor that #Warranty.

I purchased a new heat pump for $18k Nov 2022 from ******************. The initial install went well but the furnace did not heat our home properly at the start. It took multiple visits over 2 months to finally get it working properly, eventually we were satisfied with the system. Nov. 2023 we had the annual maint. performed as per our warranty, and the unit continued to perform well. On Tuesday Dec. 17, 2024 we came home to no heat. We checked the breaker box to see if the switch was tripped but it was fine. There was power to the system including the thermostat. However the thermostat was giving an error code. The next morning I contacted **********. Coincidentally we had previously arranged a maintenance appointment for Friday Dec. 20th and I wanted to make sure the tech arriving could assess the situation. Initially I was told that the maint. appt would need to be cancelled and a new appt. for repair would have to be created. They said they could schedule that for Dec. 30th. I insisted that they keep the appt on Dec. 20th and they sent an outsourced tech from "G and G Heating"on that day. The tech was able to confirm that the inside unit was functioning but was not communicating with the outside unit. I was with the tech when he was working on the outside unit when there was a loud pop and then the tech said the board was fried and he would have to order the part. I explained that the unit was still under warranty. The tech called Mecurio's to confirm the warranty and then ordered the part. We paid $140 for the service call. Today is January 4th, day 19 without heat. We have called ********** multiple times and were told they are still waiting for the part. No attempt to expedite the repair. They offered to bring us space heaters, even sent a confirmation email, and then never showed up. Calls to speak to a manger were not returned. Next week temps are forecasted below freezing and we still don't know when this 2 year, $18k, under warranty unit is going to be repaired.Business Response

We have contacted the customer and left a message for them to return our phone call about their complaint.
Previously, we were waiting on the part to arrive from the supplier and when it did on 1/6, we called the customer and left a message to schedule a return. We are returning on 1/9/25 to put that in.
In addition, we should not have charged the diagnostic since the customer was under warranty. We have requested that our accounting department refund that to them.
We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate you letting us know about your concern so we can further assist you. You are welcome to call us at ************.
Thank you,

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. Mercurios is scheduled for Thursday to do the repair. I will contact BBB if the repair is unresolved, unreasonably delayed, or we do not receive the refund due to us.
Thank you for addressing this issue in a timely manner.

On February 1, 2023 we went out in response to a no heat call on the customer's 2007 gas furnace. We diagnosed that it needed a new control board in order to get it fired off and determine if there was any additional repairs needed. On the 6th we went out and replaced the control board. Once the furnace was operational, we were able to look at other parts to ensure they were working correctly. We determined at that time that the furnace also needed a new inducer motor. A proposal was left for the inducer motor at that time. The customer chose to not get the work completed. On Aug 14, 2024 we went out to do a tune up on the furnace. At that time, we did a thorough cleaning and again recommended that the inducer motor needed to be replaced, as it was pulling the incorrect amperage. We again left a proposal to replace the inducer motor. Our technician stated that the system was functioning, but will eventually have other issues as time went on. On September 17, 2024, we went out for another no-heat call. The inducer motor, that had been pulling the incorrect amperage, then caused damage to the control board. The customer now needs another control board AND the inducer motor that he chose not to have us replace. Since we made the recommendation multiple times that the customer needed to replace the part but he chose to not do the repair, our company is not at fault for that specific part failing and causing additional damage. We are happy to have a manager discuss this further with him over the phone.

First off, I do not have an extended warranty plan with Mercurios. My thermostat quit working. I called the manufacturer to get warranty info. It is covered for 10 years parts only but have to go through the original installation company to obtain replacement. I then called ********** to schedule a service call and was quoted charges that I agreed to as I don't have a service plan. A few days later the service tech came out and verified that the thermostat was in fact defective. Something that tech support and I had already concluded. . This is my complaint. He did not have the thermostat on his truck knowing that he was coming to my home for a thermostat issue. As such he quoted me a return trip fee and a $50 charge to fill out the *** for the manufacturer. There was an additional 1/2 hour labor to replace. No issue with this charge. In this scenario, I cannot get my thermostat replaced under warranty by the manufacturer without paying a double trip charge and a $50 RMA fee. I know that companies vary greatly but as an ****************************** the field for 34 years and filled out 100's of ***'s, I have never seen an RMA admin fee. I offered to mail them the defective unit and have them send me the new one but they declined. It seems that the only way forward is face down over the barrel.Business Response

The customer was completely correct, we should have had the thermostat on our vehicle the first time we came out. In addition, we should not have charged a warranty processing fee. There was an internal misunderstanding about our warranty process and we have provided additional training for our employees to ensure that this does not happen again. Last week we returned to the customer's home, replaced his thermostat, and removed the incorrect charges. We apologize for the inconvenience to the customer and appreciate that he brought this to our attention so we could fix the process.

12-26-2023 A Tech showed up at my house first thing he tested (less than 5 min) my ignition switch was faulty. He removed it in less than 2 min the told me it would be $500 to replace. This was a $45 part that would take him 2 min to install. Beware!!! This company is taking advantage of senior citizens. I went and bought the part myself ($45+tax) and in 2 min my furnace was working. Never using this company again!!!!Business Response

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. It is certainly not our practice to take advantage of any customer, regardless of age. Our pricing is carefully calculated and based on a variety of factors. You're paying for our company to provide you with a service, not just a part. That service pricing includes technician wages, extensive training to ensure they are able to diagnose and repair your system, their vehicle, fuel, vehicle insurance, employee benefits, support staff, company building, utilities, etc. In your case, we performed a diagnostic based on the pricing that we quoted you up front over the phone. We determined what the problem was and quoted you the repair, which you declined having us do. However, you used the information about the problem part that we provided you during our service and replaced the faulty part yourself. Since the evaluation that we did provide was helpful to you and you only disagree with pricing for work we did not perform, we will not be issuing you a refund for the evaluation fee. Should you wish to discuss this further, you are welcome to call us at ************. ThanksCustomer Answer

That's fine! I will NEVER use your company again and I will let EVERYONE I know how dishonest your pricing is. No matter how you try to justify it, it is wrong!Initial Complaint

On Friday, 02/24/2023 at 9 AM PT, a technician from Mercurio's Heating & Air Conditioning came out to perform a routine cleaning of our ductless mini-split ************** The mini-split is 3 years old and was in fine working condition prior to the technicians arrival. After performing the "routing cleaning" the heater was disabled and would no longer turn on. The technician pulled up 3 year old error codes on our mini-split's remote control and said that the mini-split was "broken beyond repair. I have no idea how it even turns on". The technician and ********** management then asked me to pay $200 for the cleaning, again which resulted in the technician breaking the only source of heat on 1 floor of my house during the 4 coldest days of winter. I declined to pay. They offered to have a "more experienced, veteran tech" come out to look at the mini-slit the following Tuesday, who had a much more expensive hourly rate and another trip charge. *****, the office manager, stated that I would not be charged for the maintenance trip, because the technician broke my heater.On Monday 02/27, my wife and I made explained the situation to our neighbor, who is also an **** tech. He came over, cleared all the alarms on the mini-split, and within 5 minutes the unit was producing heat again. Our neighbor stated that ********** technician intentionally did not clear the alarms in an attempt to convince us that our **** was broken and needed to be replaced. Apparently this is a dishonest sales tactic that he's seen companies use in the past, trying to take advantage of people less with less knowledge of ****. Upon learning this information, I called ********** back and cancelled the appointment to fix the **** system that they broke, scheduled for 02/28.On 03/16, weeks later, I received a bill for $189 from **********. ***** reached out and said that because I didn't complete "the repairs" with them, I would have to pay the trip charge for ******** breaking my heater.Business Response
