"Hi Mrs. [Member Name Removed], I am truly sorry that you feel this way! Our customers are very important to us and it is never our intention to "rip off" anyone. The tech couldn't provide a cost breakdown because we don't charge hourly rates. We've chosen to go with flat rate pricing which means our customers don't have worry about the amount of time it takes to get the job done or to procure a part. We also offer an option, the membership which the technician offered to you, that would have offset the pricing and brought it below the price you paid the other company. By signing up for the Priority Member Service Agreement, the service charge would have been waved, a full tune-up would have been performed and the blower motor changed out and the $533 bill would have been reduced to almost $10 less than you paid the other company. In addition to saving money on this bill, you would have received a number of other benefits that would have made signing up well worth the investment. In fact, as a priority member, had we done the previous repair (within 2 years), this repair would have been free. Again, I'm sorry you feel badly about our encounter and we are happy that you were able to receive the service you needed. As we part ways, I'd like to leave you with a little piece of advice that we give to all of our customers; when the time comes to purchase a new system, spend the extra money and get the labor warranty! Had you done that; your bill would have $0. Take care, and we wish you well."
"Thank you for being part of the Next Generation Air & Heat Family"
"I apologize for taking so long to respond but your appointment was booked under a very different name and without having made any complaint with our office, it was very difficult to figure out what customer I am addressing. I'm sorry that you are so upset and I assure you, my technician was not trying to "rip you off." I've spoken to the tech involved and, according to what I've been told, he followed proper procedure as set forth by the manufacturer with regard to the diagnosis of your equipment's failure. He then called the parts distributor to obtain the part and was informed that it was not in stock. It is standard procedure to give the customer options in such circumstances and because your system is already 11 yrs old, and the new systems are far more efficient, he gave you the choice to wait until we could obtain the part or upgrade for efficiency. As for the simple fix, I'm happy that you found someone who happened to have the right part just sitting on his truck and was willing to install it for free, for the cost of the part alone. If you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to call the office."
John explained the Preferred Customer plan, and I'm glad he did. They come out twice a year, to do an overall check of the system, and the customer also gets priority service, and no overtime charges, and also gets 15% off labor for anything that has to get fixed. I thought that was a good deal, so bought it.
He did say they would check first thing Monday morning if the part was at the local supplier, and if it wasn't it would have to be ordered. Turns out it had to be ordered, and came in the next day. John came out that day and replaced both the motor and dryer filter. When he performed maintenance on my system, he found that my Freon wasn't charged as much as it should be and now my system runs so much cooler.
I highly recommend this company. They are honest and reputable.
He was thorough, and got my system up and running. He installed a new capacitor. I have been using Next Gen for a couple years and highly recommend them.
I don't recall the exact date of service; I am thinking it was around 9/15/15. When the service professional arrived, he was by himself and after he looked through my house at where the vents were, he said 'it would be better to re-schedule to another day when he had someone to help him move things, because he had to get right under all of the vents.' Although he was polite about it, I was not happy. I was told by the owner that the job would be done that day.
Prior to leaving, the service professional called another service person to see if they could both come the next day to clean the ducts at my home. I agreed to the change in schedule for the next day; the service professional stated he " ...would be on a job in the morning and wasn't quite sure how long it would take him, but would definitely call (me) by 11:30 a.m. to tell (me) what time they would be at (my) house..." I asked the service professional to 'start talking' if he got my answering machine, because I suffer from chronic migraines ( I had one going that day), and I turn my phone ringer off so it doesn't interrupt my sleep. He agreed to.
The next day, I received no phone call from the service technician at 11:30 a.m. In fact, it was well after 1:00 p.m. before the service professionals showed up at my home again from what I recall. The original service technician from the day before said "...I tried to call you, but I think I had the wrong number..." Although both techs were polite while at my home, I assumed they were protecting the area under and/ or vacuuming the floor under the vent areas after cleaning, and one tech did indeed ask me once, if I wanted to put down a sheet or towel on the bed in the bedroom for that vent. However- I was in for a shock with the rest of the house. They didn't put anything down to catch the dirt or popcorn pieces from the ceiling, and they didn't vacuum it up either, which would of been a cinch with the wide mouth vacuum they were using for the vents. The one that really angered me was the vent that was cleaned right above my printer; all of the dirt and popcorn ceiling pieces went straight into the top of my printer. This was absolute stupidity; I was in my house the entire time that the techs were there, and could have provided coverings anytime they were asked for.
I expected more from this company due to the high ratings it had from Angies' List. Given that they are in the business of air duct cleaning and AC work, wouldn't it be feasible to expect them to have their own tarps/ coverings for things, and/ or to make sure all areas are clean after they work on them? I was disappointed with this service call from Next Generation.
"We apologize that you are not happy with the service. Unfortunately without seeing your home before we came out we were unable to know that we needed two people to do the job. We did bring drop cloths to cover the floor and moved what furniture we were able to move out of the way of any falling debris. But, we can only do so much with the room we have to work with. We did make a phone call that morning and let you know a time frame we would be there, like any company that does service work, we give windows because we are never sure how long a job will take. We have done many vent cleanings and we have never had any issues. If a call would have been made, we would have loved to make things right for you. As you can see from our other reviews we do great work and have been recommended by many others."
