            Status:
            Answered
            On Dec. 26, 2022 I called Gulf Shore Cooling about a no heat problem. They sent a repair person that didnt diagnose anything but just started replacing parts in the hopes it was the problem- all electrical parts that should have been tested before replacing. In addition, these three parts with labor totaled $987.00 without calling and asking me for my approval. They had my cell phone number and credit card info. The employee called me to inform me that the unit was running and the charge on my card will be $987.00! I said I was shocked at the bill amount and more shocked that 3 expensive electrical parts would all go out at the same time in a newer A/C unit and even more shocked that he didnt call first. He agreed and said he could take his parts back out and I would only get a bill for the service call. I told him to take his parts back and I will get somebody else that isnt just a parts changer. He took his parts out and dumped my parts back inside the unit but didnt put mine back in at all and left a bunch of loose wires hanging inside. Then the bill for the service call had an additional Fuel Surcharge of $15.00. This employee had racked up a $987.00 bill in 45 minutes at my property and probably does 8 to 12 service calls a day (per their phone agent) so the fuel surcharges would be more in one day than the gas that truck could use in 2 weeks. That is not even anywhere near a Surcharge but it kind of explains this companys greed and policy of overcharging for the little parts they stock on their trucks. My parts should have been put back the way they were without cut off loose wires hanging.

            Prompt response to my service call, reconnected controller boards that a previous AC company disconnected and left that way. Gulf Shore technician then cleared the condensation drain (primary problem) recharged the system due to the evaporator leaking. They said its a temporary fix until the evaporator gets replaced. They obviously know what they are doing because the system is currently working. Will have them replace the evaporator soon (pricey because system is out of warranty.) competent technicians are hard to find.
