Kraig was absolutely OUTSTANDING! Without a doubt, thoroughly conscientious and professional in every way!
Mine was a vexing problem; at the start of the summer, when I first turned on the AC for our 2nd floor HVAC unit, I noticed that, although the unit was working, the refrigerant line to the compressor was becoming iced, as was the entire line all the way up to the furnace. Suspecting the unit was low on freon, I contacted Modern Day Comfort to check it out, and re-charge as necessary. Kraig did the re-charge, which initially solved the problem, but was required to return within a few days when the icing continued.
Kraig and I were puzzled as to what was causing the problem, but agreed that the furnace coil was likely failing (since it was 24 years old), and it was then replaced. However, the problem persisted. To make a long story shorter, Kraig went above and beyond my expectations to analyze the root cause of the problem, spending approx. 10 - 15 hours cleaning the lines, the compressor, soliciting tech. support from various sources, replacing all refrigerant in the lines, and trouble-shooting the furnace....all at no additional charge. He repeatedly stated that he would NOT recommend any further corrective measures until he was sure that the problem would be fixed.
Ultimately, the problem was narrowed down to either a faulty thermostat (it had been replaced over the winter) and/or faulty relays on the furnace control board. After replacement of the thermostat and cleaning of the contact relays, the problem was finally resolved!
This situation might have tempted other service personnel to take a and quot;shotgunand quot; approach, possibly
replacing the compressor, furnace, lines, basically everything, in the hope that the problem would and quot;go awayand quot;, but at a very high price! Kraig displayed uncommon honesty and professionalism in resisting that approach, which resulted in a more certain solution, and a MUCH more satisfied customer.
Bottom line, Modern Day Comfort will be my preferred HVAC company for any service in the future, and is HIGHLY recommended!
