"[Member Name Removed], We are glad to hear you were satisfied with our services. Thanks for trusting us to service your A/C needs! Julie Barclay American Airflow"
"I am very sorry to hear about your dis-satisfaction with our company. We pride ourselves on high quality work and honesty so it concerns me that you don't believe this is the service you received. We have never performed any repair/service for you that involved adding freon to your unit and would be happy to provide copies of your invoices if needed. I would also love the opportunity to speak with you in an effort to resolve your concerns as I was not aware of these issues prior to seeing your review. Please feel free to contact our office at 973-607-1858 and ask to speak with me personally. Bob Barclay President"
We had a leak in our HVAC unit which caused some damage to our floors in the bedroom. We had Brian from American Airflow come in and he said he fixed the problem and "ensured the leak was no longer an issue". Literally three days later, the leak was so bad that it completely damaged the floors which now need to be replaced. Brian came back, claiming that this is a totally different, unrelated issue from what he claimed to have fixed. He clearly just missed the problem and charged me twice for a problem that he failed to locate the first time. We have since then contacted a different provider to come in and inspect the work that American Airflow did. He found that they only "rebuilt" the piece that caused the leak as opposed to removing the whole system and replacing the broken piece with a brand new piece to avoid having yet another problem. So clearly American Airflow was lazy and only temporarily fixing the problem. This is not the first issue that we have had with this company. I just do not want to see this happen to anyone else.
UPDATE ------ The response by the provider just proves their duplicitous attitude and lack of professionalism. How can they possibly imagine that my tenant, who has zero knowledge or experience in HVAC repair, can confirm that the "valve stem was not leaking". Can any layman confirm that a valve stem (who even knows what that is) was not leaking?
Then they say: "The complete valve was not replaced because it was not necessary and had a 2 week lead time from the factory, which meant your tenant would have been without heat or A/C for 2 weeks."
Well, Bob - which is it? Was it not necessary or was it too long of a lead time at the factory and you didn't want my tenant to be without heat or A/C?
They then go on to say - " and even went the extra mile to get your tenant up and running the same day". Well Bob, your website says "We pride ourselves on cost effective repair solutions that are guaranteed to have you up and running as soon as possible." As soon as possible Bob ... so up and running the same day, is that considered "going the extra mile" or is that the guarantee?
Please don't be fooled by this company - here's another complaint that a resident of the same building responded to me when I posted a complaint on the building's message board about this company -
"I am glad that this was posted. We had American Airflow service our units as well and had a horrible experience. They came back 5 times, and our issue still is not fixed. Each time it was a different excuse as to why it wasn't working and none of the excuses or explanations ever made sense. We were also charged a diagnostic fee every time they came, even though it was for the same issue. I also found the service men to be unprofessional."
So - all my fellow angies list members .. just be advised of what you have in store for you when using American Airflow. If you have questions, feel free to contact me on here. I'll be happy to discuss further.
"Ms. [Member Name Removed], We understand your concerns regarding the work performed within your tenant's apartment and appreciate your feedback. We pride ourselves on quality work and I can assure you "laziness" is not tolerated nor present in our technician's performance. The valve stem was not leaking at the time of the first repair which can be confirmed by your tenant. The complete valve was not replaced because it was not necessary and had a 2 week lead time from the factory, which meant your tenant would have been without heat or A/C for 2 weeks. We inspected the valve body and found no issues which is why we replaced only the internals (as that was the only part that failed; not the valve body). In my opinion, it would have been unethical to charge you for a part and work that was not needed just because it would have been more profitable for us. We located the needed part within an hour, drove 1 hour each direction to get the part (at no charge to you), pressure tested the complete unit, re-installed, and tested the system. We understand your frustration but please know we did all that we could to perform a quality repair and even went the extra mile to get your tenant up and running the same day. If we had found that the second issue was caused or missed by us, we would have certainly completed the repair at no cost to you as we stand behind our work and pride ourselves on honesty and integrity. I can understand how the situation appeared to you which is why we prefer the owner to be on site for repairs so that we can properly explain and physically show the issue (i.e. the water leaks). We are sorry to lose your business [Member Name Removed], and apologize for any misunderstanding. Bob Barclay President"
