Compaint against:Connett Services ****************************************************************** Business phone: ************ Connett Services installed a *******/Maytag furnace in July 2023 - no testing of the unit was performed at that time. In October 2023, we turned on the unit for the first time and it did not "fire up" so placed a service call to Connett - tech came out and found that the gas was not turned back on after installation. A week after this service call, the unit started double cycling and making "clicking" noises. The unit would blow out cool air and then warm air - shut down off and on in rapid cycles. Since October to current date, we have had multiple technicians come and try to figure out what the issue is. This has been several visits by different technicians on at least 8 separate occassions. They thought the issue was the control board - ordered a new one, came to install it and found it was the wrong part. Ordered the correct control board, installed it and the issue still is occurring.The issue has not been resolved. I do not feel that Connett Services is taking the issue seriously or are just grasping/guessing what "could" be the problem. I am very concerned that we aren't even into the coldest months - and also with the double/rapid cycling that my gas bill is going to be high. I do not have documentation of the technician visits or what they did - but Connett does. I have recordings of the furnace system and what it sounds like while operating. The techs do know of this and have been here to hear for themselves. A technician was suppose to come early this morning (12/14/23) and I have not seen or heard from anyone from Connett Services. I have spoke to the General Manager and she stated that they "may" need to contact the manufacturer and that they may need to replace the entire furnace unit.This issue has been going on since October. I do have receipts and the invoice.Business response

I called on September 12th 2023 to have ************** come out to repair a piece of PVC pipe that goes from the furnace to the outside of the house. They had installed the unit in 2021 and the pipe had came loose at a joint. When the tech showed up he cleaned my outside units and didnt look at the downstairs at the problem I called in until my wife called me and I explained that was the purpose of the call out. Once he had looked at it he told her, that he didnt have the parts to fix it and charged us ****** and left. On Monday September 18 2023 I called the office to see if and when they were coming back to fix it and was told they didnt know what I was referring to. I explained what had happened and was told there may be additional charge to come out again. They scheduled for Wednesday September 20th 2023 and came out and was there about ***** minutes and the tech requested 144,00. I was called by my wife and told the amount and I told not to pay him that was contacting ******************* to have this explained to me how its costing me ****** to glue 2 pieces of pipe back together. When this couldve been done the first trip under the original call out.Business response

We would not have billed anything if you would have had your service checks done and it would have been warranty, but our warranty only covers if you have ** service your unit yearly and you did not. We installed the furnace in 2021 so even a normal 1 year warranty on labor would have expired.Customer response

On April 2022 we got a new furnace and A/C few months later during the Summer the A/C broke. They fixed it a few days later. On May 2023 they came to do the yearly tune- up they said they would need to order a part because it was not working . about 2 weeks later I called to see when they are coming to fix it , they said tomorrow morning. They didn't fix it need to order the motor, week later they came to put it on and it didn't work they said need to order another part. I want them to replace it this A/C not good . It is too stressful, my house is too hot and Ive had to take time off work to be here for them to come look at it multiple times. We are coming up on the hottest months of the year, and we can not be without A/C.Business response

We understand the frustration our customer has. We install a new unit in a customer's home with the hope that unit will keep the home comfortable for years to come. When that doesn't happen, we aren't happy about the situation either. After installing a couple of parts on this unit, we reached out to the manufacturer to see if we could get the unit replaced, instead replacing part after part. We received notification today, that the manufacturer has agreed to replace the whole air conditioner for this customer.Customer response
