"Great and timely"

"I was contacted by this company's owner (Steve Ford) after asking for recommendations for HVAC technicians. After explaining my situation, I was told that it would be more cost effective to replace my system. He was going to try and secure financing (my credit is not great) and would get back to me - this was on a Tuesday. When I had not heard back by Saturday (today - 12/15/2018), I contacted him and asked for his office location so I could come speak to someone face to face (I prefer this before hiring anyone for anything). He immediately became extremely defensive and evasive (I have our entire conversation saved). He eventually gave an address. I had actually driven past the location twice in the past week, and it is a vacant building with a for rent sign at the street. When I mentioned that detail, his story (and location) changed, and he became irate, used foul language, and then blocked the conversation. If a business owner is willing to be deceptive on something this simple, how can anyone trust any information or prefessional opinion he gives? I will NEVER recommend this company to anyone, and I will continue to spread my story of my encounter with him."

"My heater started blowing cold airMonday night. I called Southern Heating and Air Tuesday morning. A service technician came out and thought he had problem solved, and I signed service order. As he was leaving he heard unit go off and said I had a cracked gas valve, and in working on it he had broken a level or lever(not sure which) and that the gas valve would have to be ordered, After spending another very cold night I called and was told the part was in. About 11 am the same service tech returned. He replaced the gas valve and thought problem was fixed. Soon after he left, heater again was blowing cold air. Called Thursday morning and requested a different service technician. One was sent. He looked at heater and thought he had problem fixed. He never came in the house to check as the first service tech had been very conscientious about checking temp coming out of vents. A few minutes later, I noticed heater blowing cold air. I walked around to heater and he was not there.....I noticed the tech was still sitting in the truck in the yard. I told him it was doing the same thing. He came and looked and said let me think about this. About 10 minutes later I went out and he was gone. I called office and was told he had reported problem fixed. I said it is not and he knew that......he never came in to even tell me he was leaving. I knew the temperature again that night was expected to be 28 degrees. I called to check and found out the office had closed for Holiday until Monday, DEC 27. I had told the office dispatcher I have a 485.00 bill and my heater is in same condition it was in Tuesday morning. about 2:30 the original tech called and offered to come out, but I knew he had not been able to fix it after two visits, so I declined. The tech who came out Thursday knowingly told him it was fixed and office manager knew it was not and did nothing about it. Both Thursday and Friday nights very cold in this house. I would like to speak to owner of Southern Heating and Air as this was no way to treat a customer. I will call office Monday morning and leave my name and number. Responsiveness and Professionalism grade refers to office manager and tech who came to my house on Thursday. The tech who came out Tuesday and Wednesday very professional, but I felt I needed someone with more experience working on my type of unit. I checked I would not hire again, but I believe they need to resolve my current problem."
