"Please enter what you would like the response to look like:Mr. [Member Name Removed], I'm so sorry you had this experience. I do believe though that you have us mixed up with another company. We have no record of any customers under your name or address. There is another company in the area that has mimicked our name and we have received numerous calls before from their customers mistaking us for them. They sadly have been complaints like yours. Please call me at [phone number removed] and I will do what I can to help you get them to resolve your issues. Thanks, Gregg"
I had already had a quote from three other companies. Greg's quote was not only significantly lower, but it allowed me to up the spec to 16 SEER which qualified me for a $300 tax credit.
The brand chosen (my choice) doesn't have a great reputation, but this is probably because they are one of the few that sell to the general public, i.e. to a bunch of amateurs and/or cowboys who don't really know what they are doing! The internals are mostly the same from manufacturer to manufacturer.
The installation started at 8 and they were through just after 1PM. Everything was left neat and tidy. The code inspector found one minor wrinkle (I think he was anxious to find at least one thing wrong!) but commented that otherwise the installation was very professional. The problem was fixed in a few minutes the next day.
The new air handler has variable speed, which means that for most of the time we don't even notice when the system is running. We had yet another mild winter (only one night of frost), and we haven't seen a summer yet, but I am confident that the system is more than ready for it.
I have already recommended the A/C Guy to one of my work colleagues.
I have been using the A/C Guy of Tampa Bay for a number of years to do all of my A/C servicing. Gregg alerted me early on to the substantial corrosion of my A/C unit, but it took about 4 years before the system finally began to leak. Gregg diagnosed the problem and then put in more Freon so that I would get some cooling over the holiday weekend. He charged for this service, but then reduced the cost of my new system by this amount.
As an independent company, Gregg offered me many options for a replacement system. After a little on-line research, I selected one that I thought was best for my situation. And, we scheduled an installation date.
The Freon leak, which had been very slow, accelerated and I was without A/C again and so Gregg moved up the agreed to date for the new A/C installation.
Gregg and his crew showed up promptly at 8:00 AM on the day of installation (as scheduled). They had the new system operational a little after noon. They cleaned up after themselves and I am now sitting once again in air conditioned comfort.
While his employees are just fine, Greg (the owner) is an outstanding, knowledgeable professional. It would be hard to find someone more skilled, courteous and professional. He's top notch, and we are so glad we purchased our new system from him when ours needed an energy-efficient update. I got quotes from five companies, and Greg's professionalism and skill won out. He also matched our best price, which helped so much. I'd strongly recommend The AC Guy of Tampa Bay. Ask that Greg the owner be the technician, because he is the best.
system was not cooling or dehumidifying properly, and this led to a series of attempts on his part at correcting the problem over the next several months. Nothing that he tried resolved the problem. Eventually he replaced the evaporator unit, but to no avail. Installer finally got to a point where he said I needed to replace my existing duct work in order for the system to
work properly. I hesitated at this point because my previous system had worked just fine with my current duct work. Installer said the duct work was inadequate for the new system and that he could not do anything further for me if I did not replace it. This was in July, the hottest part of summer. I grudgingly agreed to have him install new duct work, for more than
$3000. Installation took 3-4 days. After the new duct work was installed the heat pump system was no better, so I wasted $3000 on duct work I didn't need. I eventually told the installer to remove the entire heat pump system and to refund my money under his money back guarantee. I figured that I had given the installer more than enough time and opportunities to get the system corrected, even selling me ductwork I did not need, and he had not come through. Installer had quite an attitude by this
point, but he did reluctantly remove the system and refund my money. I had another installer already lined up that came in and started the installation of a new heat pump system the day after AC Guy removed his. The new system has worked flawlessly ever since.
We now have a new air handler that works well, and it will be saving us money!
