"Mr. [Member Name Removed], I'm not sure how to respond. We gave you a quote ($425.) up front before any work was done."
The quote process was a little lengthy - I think Morton could have been quicker in getting back to me with an estimated price for the work that they were going to do. They were quick to come out and go through the list we got from our home inspection, but it took a while to hear back about how much it would cost.
always used Hiller. The Morton team was very accommodating to fit me in to their schedule and came out later in the day
on Tuesday 9/9 to diagnose the issue. I was impressed with their willingness to get help to me as soon as they were
able.
The two technicians reviewed my AC unit outside and in the attic. The unit was frozen over and they put the heat on to thaw out the unit. I was informed by one of the technicians that the coil has several bad leaks and was rusted. The options were to try to fix the leak and add the necessary Freon to the unit (an estimated cost of 500.00) the other option was a new coil (the
recommended path). The team left and I awaited the estimate from Morton?s. The estimate came in Tuesday night ? and I had a decision ? to pay for a new coil or for 600.00 more a new unit. I opted for a new unit and the office would contact me on Wednesday to schedule.
The temperatures were cooling down outside and the humidity was dropping during this time period. I decided to get a second opinion from the ask an expert service (Just Answers). I had used them previously for other services ? legal, veterinarian and car trouble. The HVAC expert said, the cost to repair the leak was high and that I should try that route first. He also asked me the last time I changed my filters. Honestly, I thought, I cannot remember. Tuesday evening I changed my filters (they
were solid ? no air flow was going through the filters what so ever.) The unit on Wednesday ? cooled my place without issue ? however, I did keep it at 74 (my usual temp is 69) but I did not want to tax the unit if it was failing per Morton?s assessment. Wednesday the unit was working and cooling without issue (again was it the unit performing or the air temp outside
better?) On Thursday ? the unit was still working ? so I decided to cancel the install of the new unit on Friday 9/12). When I called to cancel ? I was spoken to in an accusatory tone and that I was making a huge mistake! That Morton?s prices are the best and they do not try to sell a unit. I was told by Mr. Morton ? I would be lucky if my unit lasted another week.
I called another group out to review my issue ? as all day the unit was cooling. The 2nd group came out ? and assessed the situation. Yes, I do have minor leaks in the attic and there is rust around the base of the coils (I was shown pictures by the technician so I did not need to venture up to the attic.) He then said, he would check the pressure of the outside unit. The results ? the pressure was within range, no Freon was needed at all. He asked when I changed my filters. I informed
him on Tuesday evening ? 2 days prior. His diagnosis ? the filters were not allowing the needed airflow ? thus the
unit froze up. No Freon is needed as the pressures were fine ? no unit nor coil was needed at all.
I would not recommend Morton?s group for HVAC repair. The technicians did not even check the
filters. The filters were solid with dust, that was caked on and more than ½ an inch thick. I cannot trust their assessments going
forward as I would question any diagnosis of an issue. I am not leery to use them for plumbing work as well.
I called on Friday 9/12 to provide the feedback to Mr. Morton ? however, he was unavailable but would be calling me to discuss. Now, over a week has passed and I have not had any additional contact from the group. I will not and cannot recommend Morton?s Plumbing as their work is lacking in expertise and trustworthiness with this scenario.
"I was told not to respond, every thing said is not true. I called and ask her th please be truthful and she refused. 1. No money was exchange. We was not even paid the dispatch fee. Not the $2300. That was stated. 2. At no time was you told how long the unit will last. We do not use scare tactics. There is no way anyone can say how long a unit will last. I ask you to wait a week before anything was done. We know it is leaking refrigerant and can not say how long it will stay charged. 3. Yes your filter is / was stopped up that will repair the immediate situation. It is still leaking refrigerant. 4. The second opinion said the same thing we did. The unit is leaking. We are a small repair shop and I hold all employees to the highest standard. At no time do we try to sell products that are not needed. We have been in business over 28 years, in that time I can not remember another customer questing our integrity. In saying this I have little experience in handling a unhappy customer."
