"Thank you so much for taking time to review our company! We are so pleased that you were satisfied with our services. We look forward to working with you again! Thank you for choosing us for your heating and cooling needs!"
In February, I had purchased a coupon with Conn Mechanical Systems for a heater and AC checkup. I explicitly gave direction over the phone that I would need an oil change as I had never done it. I also made it clear that I would like my plastic PVC pipe coming out of my oil tank converted to metal. Obviously, I expected to pay more for the piping change since it wasn't included in the coupon.
When Conn Mechanical had came out, the engineer noticed that my oil filter was not standard and could not be changed easily. He said I should swap it out for a more contemporary filter and I agreed. He just didn't have the tools to do it at that point. He also didn't have the tools or material to change the pipe. So basically, at this point in February, they were supposed to call back and schedule a time to replace the oil filter and piping and eventually check up on the AC.
I called roughly three times to schedule the follow up and was given the "we'll call you back" deal (never happened). On one call the lady on the phone seemed frustrated and told me she would give me a call in May (that never happened). Finally, in June, I got a hold of someone and got the follow up appointment scheduled. The guy comes out and doesn't have the filter nor the tools and material to do the piping. He checks up on the AC and everything is fine. I ask when he can come back and do the filter and piping work. He says they'll call me. As you might of expected, that never happened.
I am now out $200 from Conn Mechanical for someone to come out and look at my systems and tell me everything is fine. I will probably have to do the piping and oil filter work myself. I thought this company might have integrity given their high score on Angie's list and website, but it seems like they were just trying to make a quick buck on the Angie's list coupon.
"Dear Mr. [Member Name Removed], We are very sorry to hear that you had an unpleasant experience with our company. We understand that there seems to have been some miscommunication as to exactly what you were seeking to have done and that this was more of a custom job that would have to be looked at first and then rescheduled at a later date. The Service Manager was under the impression that you agreed to have the oil line done at a future date. We try to stay on top of calling customer's back, Ed Conn is a huge Customer Service oriented owner and he believes that his customers should come first. It seems you may have called while our Service manager was out and that is why the call backs were delayed. I can assure you that we never take a customer’s payment without the intention of making good on what was originally paid for. We are currently learning a new dispatch system and it seems that not all of the job details were transferred over to the Tech during your scheduled AC checkup so our Tech was not aware that the Oil lines still needed to be redone. It was our mistake and we wish we could have provided you with that Service at the same time as your AC checkup. We have tried to call you and explain and we will absolutely perform that Oil Filter swap out and Oil line conversion for you. We are not in the business of "making a quick buck" on the Angie's List Coupon actually we have many times where we have done work for nearly 0 profit through these coupons but we feel that promoting our reputation and the positive exposure through Angie's List is an important part of our business. Conn Mechanical is in no way the type of business that takes advantage of its customers and we are very honest and forth coming when it comes to how we handle our operation. We hope you will have a change of heart and let us come back to complete this work. Many thanks, Conn Mechanical Systems"

The first people I called after the gas was shut off was Conn Mechanical to diagnose the system. They came out and claimed that they repaired the leak. That day the gas company was back at my house saying the unit was pouring gas into my home and shut my gas off again. Conn Mechanical came out a second time and took the unit apart, stating something had "cracked" and my best option would be to replace the entire unit. They never even put it back together. Just left the burner assembly and gas valve laying on the floor next to the unit. The owner came out and said it would be in my best interest to replace our American-Made Weil-McClain unit with a South Korean $10,000 unit.
I had insurance coverage for any crack in my heating system, so I contacted my insurance company and they sent investigators out to inspect. Much to my surprise, the insurance company deemed the unit repairable. I called another HVAC contractor who stated they could repair it but I would of course have to pay them to also reassemble the unit first so they could diagnose what the problem was. Well $2,000 later the unit runs perfectly, we have had no lock outs and my home is safe from gas leaks.
They lost my trust. Conn tried to up sell me an entirely new unit when all I needed was a repair, that was likely a result of a poor installation in the first place. Their technician and owner were unable to correctly identify this problem. Be cautious, and make sure they put you unit back together when they say you need a new one, and get some quotes from other HVAC contractors before going with them. The only thing they did to me that was fair was not bill me for NOT FIXING my unit two times, had they I would probably be taking them to court.
"Dear [member name removed], We are very sorry that you seem to have had a dissatisfactory experience with Conn Mechanical Systems. We work very hard to be sure that our customers are satisfied. We feel a great responsibility to our customers to be sure that if there is anything that may not be satisfactory may be rectified and a customers safety is a top priority! It is unfortunate that not every job is a standard text book case and sometimes there are obstacles to get through before we fix the issue completely. We wish there had been opportunity to help with your situation but you did not contact us after the estimate you requested from the owner was given to you. It is very unfortunate for both of us as there must have been a breech in communication between us on how you wished to proceed with the situation you were having We are sorry that you felt compelled to publicly display your displeasure with our company and services."
