Jones Air charged me half of what another company was going to charge
me. Since the first experience was without complaint, I once again
called Jones Air to fix my unit's compressor after it stopped working
properly. Jones Air's technician fixed the problem on the same day I
had called them, and much to my surprise I was charged less than what I
thought it would be. I will be definately using Jones Air as my go-to
guys whenever I'm having any a/c issues.
Chris was the technician that promptly came for the service call. I showed him the unit, and he began working right away. A few minutes after he began, he asked me if I had a pitcher of water so he could clean the drain pan. He poured that over the pan, performed several more checks both visually, and with guages, then went outside to inspect the unit. He returned a few minutes later and explained that everything looked good, but that I needed to change the filter (which I had been doing every month). I assumed a maintenance visit included a new filter so when I questioned that, I was told there are too many sizes to carry so they do not provide filters. I then asked if it needed any refrigerant, and was told just a small top-off.
I paid him in full for the annual contract, and he left. I was somewhat surprised the entire visit only took approximately 15 minutes. I didn't think too much more about it, as I was told everything was in order. I purchased a new filter and changed it the following day.
The problem began Oct. 30, one week later. I noticed the temperature felt warm in the condo, so I checked the thermostat and it was set at 72 but the temp was reading 75/76. I knew there was a problem and when I removed the filter, the coils were frozen over with ice. I immediately called Jones and was told they would have to make a service call. I explained I felt it would be unacceptable to pay for a service call when the unit was serviced one week prior and did not have a history of problems. Jose told me he didn't say there was going to be a charge (but he didn't say there wouldn't either)! I agreed to have the tech come back just to give me an opinion. Chris came back out and told me I had a leak in the system.
At this point, I felt it would be best to call another A/C company. I contacted J.P. Brett who promptly came out for the call. It was determined to be a loss of refrigerant--2.2lbs! I asked the tech to inspect the unit and tell me if it needed maintenance servicing. He said it looked somewhat dirty and yes, it did need it. I then asked him how long it takes him to perform a semi-annual maintenance, and he said about 45 minutes. It was then I told him I had just had a servicing done. He was very surprised, but to his credit, he didn't bad-mouth anyone. I asked him how it could now be leaking, when one week earlier it was fine. He said he did not know, but when I asked if the Jones tech could have damaged something, he said that if a guage was removed inappropiately outside, it could expel the refrigerant. I paid him $110.00 for the refrigerant.
I then emailed Jose at Jones (to have it in writing) explaining my position, and asked for a full refund of the $129.00 I had paid them, since I would have to have a maintenance servicing done again. Several days went by, I had no response, so I called him and asked the name and direct number for his boss. I was given David Jones telephone number and called him. After explaining my concerns, I asked again for a full refund and he told me he would have to review the records and call me back. He left me a message a couple of days later to say he disagreed with me and could not refund the fee. I called him back and insisted on a refund and he agreed to return the portion for the second maintenance visit ($40.00), and said he would come out personally to look at the system himself. I said I would see about an arrangement to get him back to my condo and call him back. After a couple weeks I still hadn't received the refund check so I called to ask about that and was told it was mailed and I also left a message for David to call me back so I could ask when he'd like to come see the system. The check came a few days later, but David Jones never called me back. I decided to write this review because I am very dissatisfied with the outcome, and still feel the appropriate thing to do would have been issue me a full refund.
"We understand that sometimes issues arise due to situations beyond our control. In this instance, we checked the GPS logs, and the technician was there for approximately 45 minutes. It is our opinion that 45 minutes falls within the appropriate time frame to perform maintenance, on a system that is not impacted with dirt. Since this customer allegedly changed her filter once a month, the coil should have not been impacted. It is important to note that according to our technicians work order, the customer was clearly advised to change her filter on a more regular basis. My technician has more than 12 years experience and is quite able to put gauges on and off a system. There is absolutely no way to put a gauge on incorrect,ly or to remove it incorrectly because it is a threaded unit. Besides that to release 2 to 2.5 pounds of Freon would take approximately 15 minutes. This is an impossible task because we use low loss fittings on all of our gauges. Not to mention that it is an EPA violation, and we are an environmentally friendly company. I feel that we handled this appropriately as a company. I also feel that she did not provide us the opportunity to correct what she felt wrong. I feel that if she would have spent as much time discussing with me her needs, as she did writing this letter the problem would have been corrected appropriately. We hope to do more business with her in the future, and we as a company pledge our sincerity and honest service. Always keeping in mind that our technicians are non commissioned. There would have been no motive to cause a refrigerant loss. Also it is important to note that there was no charge for resending a technician out the second time. Therefore we feel that we did everything we could to address her concerns. We hope to be of service in the future to her."
and they were. They arrived at 9:25 am and were done by 4:45pm. Dave
also showed up about 45 minutes after his crew. He answered all my
questions and gave the crew their instructions. His men did a fine job
installing the system I had purchased. They put down cardboard and
plastic on my steps and did not make a mess in the house. They cleaned
up upon completion of the job and took away all old units. The unit is
working quite well as I write this. I am very happy with the service
and would use them again.
"On 5/26/2012 we were called out to provide an estimate for replacement on the system. We diagnosed the system correctly, and advised that a replacement was not needed and that we could repair the equipment and save the customer the expense of replacing the complete system. Our technician did a thorough evaluation of the system and replaced the necessary parts to fix the unit at that time. On 7/6/2012 the same customer called us back, due to our ethical business practices during the last interaction with our company for an unrelated situation with the air conditioning equipment. During that service call our technician vacuumed out the drain line and made sure that it was clear and that the system was properly draining and cooling. We are sorry this customer does not understand the value of the service received and hope that we will be the company of choice in the future should the need for air conditionining repair occur."
