David Moody quoted the job on May 28th 2012. Assured me, in writing the he could complete the job in "two weeks give or take a day." He further assured that I would not be with AC for more than 12 hours during the replacement.
On July 17th, seven weeks after the quote date, and with no communication from David Moody, I called him to express my displeasure. He assured me that he would get to the job on the next day, which he did, at approximately 6 PM. Two young men worked in my house until after midnight on that day. The next day was a repeat of the same except the upstairs unit was left not functioning. On the next day, Friday, one man showed up at the usual 6 PM, told me that he need to work about 45 minutes to get the upstairs unit working. He worked for the 45 minutes but left with the unit still not working.After 4 days in above 100 degree July heat, relentlessly leaving messages on both numbers that I had for David Moody, I was forced to contact another HVAC company to come get the units working properly at a cost of $2000.00.
Subsequently, David Moody refused to negotiate his contract price and filed a legal action on me for breach of contract. What a mess, don't ever use this guy!
"Our company did install a hvac system for the customer at his home. He did experience a problem with the upstairs unit, but instead of calling our business number over the weekend and leaving a message on our office machine where we check messages and take service calls, he insisted on only calling what he thought was private cell phone numbers for David Moody and one of the installers. David was out of the country during this time and if the customer did call his number he would have gotten a message stating that he was unavailable until the following week to please call the office for any problems or service calls. He did contact the customer as soon as he knew there was a problem. The customer refused to let us come and take care of the problem and finish up what little was left of the job. We contacted him as soon as we got back into the office the following week to try and work things out again. David offered to let the customer take out the amount that he paid the other company to finish the job from the total cost of the job - he thought this was only fair. The customer's reply was that he wasn't playing that game, that he knew what the equipment cost and he would pay him for that only. David told him that we would not be able to do that and would have to turn it over to our lawyer. He told us we could lawyer up if we wanted to and quote "I've got more money than you'll ever have and a better lawyer". We tried again to work out payment with the customer before we went to court, he again refused. When we went to court the judge was told the entire story from both sides and the customer was ordered to pay his bill."
The Scenario:Moody's came highly recommended.I noticed my energy bills were crazy high (300-400) and the ac just didnt keep up.Any thing below 80 degrees would make the unit run constantly.In the winter anything below 50 outside would make my house cold and the heat couldnt keep up.
The calls:I called Moody's on a recommendation to report the problem.A young man was sent out that plugged up the gauges said "yep, needs a bit of freon. Not too much just a little low"Filled it and left $65.00Felt mildly better but still not great
Called Moody's in winter, reported heat wasnt keeping up. Asked for David himself to come, he did not.Again some other young guy. Same deal, gauges yep needs a little freon. Here ya go 65.00 bye.
Called Moody's in 105 degree weather, house wont get below 88 even at night.Asked for gold service as it comes with a "thorough inspection of your system" also known as a service agreement.Some other young guy shows up, same deal freon, here ya go bye.
The confrontation:The last gentelmen said I could either pay him 150 for the "gold package" or 65 for a service call. I said well what else do you do with the gold package. He said pretty much what I just did. This infuriated me to no end that I didnt receive an inspection and heleft doing the same thing.
I called Moody's to talk to David after leaving a detailed message about my displeasure for the Gold service, which he did reply but I was unavailable at the time. Instead I got the receptionist. I explained who I was and said my air was still not working to which she replied.. "The technician was at your house and did not detect a problem. If you want someone to come it will be another service call." I replied, "MAM, I was standing right next to him the entire time and he didnt do a thing other than check the freon level." She got upset cause i through a "D***" in there somewhere and hung up on me.
Refusing to ever do business with Moody's again and swearing to tell every living soul my story I called another company that I found on Angie's list who did a great job. The problem ended up being a service valve being mostly closed on the outside of the unit.
The conclusion:For two years I have called Moody's and complained. No one ever checked the system for a problem other than freon. The other company said "There is no way anyone who knows what they are doing could plug up these gauges and not detect a serious problem immediately." David Moody, I'm sure your a great guy but your helpers are BRAIN DEAD. 5 calls, 5 different young idiots. Not professional, didnt even fix the problem and cost me 300-400 dollar a month power bills for 2 years. I am seriously considering legal action. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY...unless you need freon and thats it, cause they are GREAT at that. Call Alto instead.
"I spoke with the member on the phone and would not take his verbal abuse and hung the phone up. We have serviced the address he is referring to 4 times. Once on 8/31/09 we replaced a capacitor the total bill was for $ 90 and was paid by her. We serviced the address again on 11/12/10 where freon was added and the charge was $110 and the bill was paid by her. We serviced this address again on 7/12/11 where freon was added and the charge was $110 this bill was never paid. Even though there was an outstanding bill due on this account we again went back to this address to service the system on 6/29/12 when the member called and expressed he wanted someone to come and check out the system on a house that he had bought. He was never billed for this service call nor the freon that was added."
"Good friends. Thanks. David Moody"
"Thanks very much to take time out of your day to make a very nice post about our company. I know we all have so much extra time on hand so this means alot to us. Thanks very much. David Moody"
