Terrible. I called to talk to the guy and left a message because our A/C had cut off on a hot day. It was a new home for us, but they had done some of the work for the previous owner, so I thought it was a good starting point. I left him my name, number and the address of the house since I thought he'd be familiar with it, in my message. He never called back. Just came out and replaced a fuse while I was at work. Then he charged me over $100 including an hour's worth of work (for 10 minutes worth) to replace a fuse, plus a "travel charge" to come from Bahama to North Durham. It's only about 10 minutes away and absolutely ridiculous.
Description of Work: An air conditioning fuse was replaced.

Response from SHEPHERD HEATING & A/C INC
WE APOLOGIZE THAT THE CUSTOMER IS UNHAPPY WITH OUR SERVICES. WE RESPONDED TO HIS CALL WITHIN 1 HR WITH THE USUAL MINIMUM CHARGE OF, 1 HOUR, AS ANY HEATING AND AIR COMPANY IN THE TRIANGLE WOULD HAVE AND WILL DO. SIX MONTHS LATER, THE CUSTOMER PAID 1/2 OF THE INVOICED AMOUNT AND INCLUDED A LETTER AS TO WHY HE SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO PAY THE TOTAL AMOUNT. YES, OUR BUSINESS IS 10 MINUTES AWAY FROM NORTHERN DURHAM ALTHOUGH WE SERVICE THE ENTIRE TRIANGLE AND CHARGE A TRAVEL FEE TO ALL LOCATIONS. CONSIDERING THE CURRENT GAS PRICES, OUR TRAVEL FEES HAVE REMAINED THE SAME FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS, NOT PASSING THAT ON TO OUR CUSTOMERS. DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE PROVIDED A SERVICE AND WOULD EXPECT PROMPT PAYMENT FOR AN INVOICE IN THE TOTAL AMT OF $105.00, WE ACCEPTED THE 1/2 PAYMENT, AND DECIDED NOT TO PURSUE THE BALANCE OWED. AS FAR AS PHONE CALLS FOR SERVICE WORK, ALL CALLS ARE RETURNED TO OUR CUSTOMERS. SHEPHERD HEATING AND AIR PROVIDES A QUALITY SERVICE THAT WE ARE VERY PROUD OF AND IT IS IMPORTANT TO US THAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE PLEASED WITH OUR SERVICES.
