You be the judge...
I Have an AC unit low on freon and freezing up. I called my AC guy and he was afraid to come out because he's a high risk fo da'rona. So I called a different company.
Guy tells me yesterday that he'll call me yesterday afternoon or today to schedule a visit. No call until 12:30 today when he says he's on his way. Calls me 10 minutes ago saying he can't do anything. The unit is frozen outside. Ice in the way and he doesn't have time for it to melt. It's 82 outside at my house. I can run the heater to melt the inside (takes 20 minutes max) Nope, he has to go has a full day and his day is set before he leaves in the morning. I said, if your schedule was set, why didn't I get a call this morning with a time for your visit? I could have made sure it was off for a while. "Sorry man" I can come back tomorrow. So barn jury...I'm letting you decide (yeah, I'm bored) His fault for not telling me when he's going to be there? My fault for not already having it shut off because I knew inside freezing was happening? (didn't know about outside) I don't think I should pay for today's trip charge to my house. Lesson for me: Buy gauges and ebay freon and fk the service guy. |

Did he know it was so frozen he wouldn't be able to do anything before hand?

nothing reversing the cycle and a small heat gun couldn't have cleared up in a few minutes. Tell him to eat a bag of dicks and call somebody else.

It's not a heat pump and he tried to tell me that turning on the heater inside would not work because the heater will shut itself off when it senses low/no airflow.
Total BS. I've been cycling it that way for two days. It thaws in about 10 minutes or less. |

I never willingly use any service a second time if they try to jack me around.

If he wants to charge you for a service call for today's stop, I'll tell him to get a job in a foundry and pound sand.
He stopped over and refused to spend 15-20 minutes for the unit to de-ice so that equates to a freebie. IF he would have allowed the unit to de-ice and continued the service call, then he would be entitled to full payment. |

Just get a hose and top off the freon with propane. Should be no problem.
