I found the part online and the tech returned the for installation. The tank has worked fine since late November.
"Thank you for taking time to comment on our work. I'm sorry that you think the "other charge", which is called a trip charge, is unnecessary. With the high price of gas, vehicle maintenance and insurance, just to name a few items, it is expensive just to get a technician to your door. We feel that 39.95 is very fair. Once there, we still have to pay the technician for work performed. We keep him trained, insured and warranty his work, whether he replaces a part or makes adjustments to your existing parts. Our technicians respond to questions placed to them by our customers. If he spent time explaining our billing policies it is probably because your questions were about that. I'm sorry you were disappointed by your experience. As you can tell by the vast majority of comments, this is an unusual event."
Not the best use of my time here; I've never felt the need to take anyone to court in the past...
"In Jan 2008 we responded to this client's request for service on his direct vent natural gas fireplace. Our dedicated fireplace service technician, with over 10 years of fireplace experience, tried to acquire parts for the Renaud fireplace from the manufacturer or distributor, but was unable. We give our customers options, repair or replace, he decided to repair his 13 year old N.Gas fireplace. We installed a generic valve & safety pilot assembly that has been used on furnaces and fireplaces for over 50 years. Total cost for this service: $761.25 incl. tax. Standard service warranty: Parts: One Year / Labor: 30 days On Nov. 30th 2010 [ 35 months later ] was the next time we heard from the client, we returned to his house because his pilot light would not light the fireplace. The safety pilot assembly was faulty and needed to be replaced. He was annoyed that this problem occurred, we replaced the part for free, waived the service call and labor charge, At this time he asked us to install a blower unit into his fireplace for an additional $379.00. On Dec 15th 2011 [ 12 months later ] the client called with similar problems. The pilot assembly was faulty again, making the fireplace inoperable. We advised him that we could not do any more free service, and would recommend the replacement of his 1990 metal fireplace. We charged him $107.88 for this service call. In the following days, We offered the client a partial refund of his payments over the last three years, toward the price of a new replacement N.Gas fireplace, which totaled $469.00. In Feb 2012 he purchased a new fireplace from another contractor. After a lengthy meeting we still offered him $572.00 refund in good faith with an apology. One week later we received a Small Claims Court notice. In April 2012 a Judge will decide what’s fair."
After MUCH research comparing brands and installers, we went for the A/C unit Carrier 24ANB7. But then our furnace won't be compatible with it and it will limit it's efficiency. So we decided to replace the furnace too with a Carrier 59MN7 and replaced our control panel too. Tom Phillips and Mike Marcil were great. They gave us the best estimate with no surprise extra expenses. They were very prompt and PATIENT in returning our calls/emails and answering our many questions and concerns. We also benefited from a $1000 Cool Cash rebate offered by Carrier (bringing down the cost to $7,000 adding to that a $375 NYSEG rebate for a final total cost of $6,625). Complete Heat crew came in the morning at around 8, replaced our HVAC system and installed a new control panel. They were out by 3:30pm. They were very professional and courteous. They covered the floors with tarp and cleaned up after themselves very well. They even asked if we are happy with the cleaning job! They thoroughly explained how our new system operates. Tom Phillips checked on his crew during the day and made sure everything was done correctly. We are very happy with Complete Heat service and products. Mike Marcil even filled out ALL the paper work for the Carrier rebate and NYSEG rebate. All what we had to fill in was our NYSEG account number and mail the forms.
We highly recommend Complete Heat and their prices are very competitive. But then again, replacing a HVAC system with a top of the line unit is not cheap and expect to shed some $$$ regardless of what company you hire.
Recently there was unexplained water on the basement floor under and near the furnace. The water drain which accepts water from the humidifiers and furnace seemed to be plugged past the opening in the cement floor. Unfortunately a previous company had left that opening way under very low ductwork and it was impossible to access it well. The technician thoroughly explained the likely cause of the problem and the possible remedies. I appreciated the technician's politeness, patience, and thoroughness. I was very impressed at his willingness to explain and the extent of his knowledge. He pleasantly carried out the option which I chose, which was to redirect the drain line into a new hole drilled in the cement floor, right next to the low ductwork. Drainage should be fine there and very accessible if the problem reoccurs in the distant future.
It is comforting to know that we found a pleasant, competent and reliable company to go to for our heating and AC needs.
