"Since 1971, Air Control has [Member Information Removed] on fairness and integrity which is very important to us. As per our conversation, upon learning of our error in diagnosing your unit we happily gave you full credit on your invoice. We continue to provide top training to keep our technicians current with the latest methods to diagnose and service equipment. If we can be of any further assistance or you would like to discuss this matter please contact me on my mobile 859-621-7522. Herbie McGaughey, Owner"
Here are the things that were commendable in their service:
1. Since it took more than 3 weeks to get the work done and get coordinated with the repairmen to actually show up, they did offer to lend us a free-standing AC unit for our living room. This was helpful since it was a very hot summer and our upstairs unit had also failed during this time so we literally had NO ac at all.
2. Although the owner was condescending to him, one of the repairmen was very nice and tried to be helpful. However, the owner second guessed everything the repairman told him, trying to undermine his 25+ years of experience. The owner actually came out and re-did some of the diagnostics because he wanted a different finding.
Here are the things that were unacceptable in their service:
1. They told us they would be at our house on a date and time. Several times they just didn't show up and I had to call the office to see where they were. (I actually had someone waiting on them to let them in, and they never called or showed up). (This happened several times over the 3 summers they serviced our unit).
2. The owner got involved because we were adamant that they cover the part replacement under warranty since it was probably the original problem. He was very rude and condescending each time we talked and it was obvious that taking care of his long-term customers was NOT a priority for him. We finally came to an agreement on work and price and had the work completed.
3. The company kept calling to set up a time to come and pick up the ac unit they had lent us, but they never came to get it after 3 arranged times. Finally, in November they called again because they "Needed it for a customer" (In NOVEMBER) and I told them I was tired of being harassed about it, that I had agreed to meet them three times and they had not shown up. About 30 minutes later, an older gentleman arrived to pick it up. (I think it may have been the original owner of the company? Apparently the original owner was the current owner's father. Maybe the company had some credibility when he was in charge).
Due to our very disappointing experience with this company I would NOT recommend them at all.
"WOW- I have just been made aware of this review. Although it is unfortunate, it is painfully obvious we dropped the ball for you. I certainly wished we could have resolved our shortcomings to your satisfaction. I the owner, am now personally examining the details of every review to ensure that we are interacting with all of our clients in the professional, respectful manner I demand. I have implemented a new dispatching process to aid in eliminating late or missed appointments. We have uncontrollable situations when the weather is extreme and we are forced to prioritize service calls, including running behind due to work loads. I have also put into place the practice of keeping in close contact with the client to keep them updated on the ETA. I welcome your discussion. I can be reached directly on my mobile 859-621-7522 Herbie McGaughey, Owner"
