    Customer Service Issues
    Status:
    Unanswered
    Edited length: complaint email sent to Best Burner on April 2, 2024- On April 20, 2020 your company installed a direct vent system into our Lincoln Barrière FLO 115-DR furnace. We were told by your technician, ******, that this was a safe venting system. We were again given this same information on March 22, 2024 from the same installation technician, ******, and your senior personnel staff, ***** ******. However, on March 20, 2024, it was disclosed at a regular yearly cleaning appointment by your technician, ******, that this venting was not certified for our furnace and he was not permitted to touch it, as it is dangerous. After speaking with his supervisor on the phone, he said that he smelled a leak and it was not safe to run the furnace at all. Due to his concerns, ****** also refused to service our furnace due to the unsafe venting your company installed. He advised us to turn the furnace off immediately “for your safety” and not to turn it back on. As you know via our multiple emails (most of which were unanswered), we were left without heat for 48 hours even after requesting emergency support, with temperatures below freezing both nights. Since these appointments on March 20, 2024 and March 22, 2024, we have discovered from our own research and through consultation with multiple local reputable furnace companies that this type of venting system is not safe and/or up to code for our type of furnace. We were told this has been true since its installation by your company in 2020. We have documentation stating this venting is not safe for our furnace upon your installation and to date. At this time, your company has not provided us with any documentation to prove otherwise and you have discontinued communication. We are very disappointed as this was a clear misrepresentation by your company and has left our family in an extremely dangerous and complex circumstance. (since this email we have been told we are no longer customers-this has not been resolved)

    If I could give this company no stars, I would. They are terrible to deal with. Specifically ***** ****** who has terrible customer service and no sense of how to come to resolution other than talk over you and try to gas light your issues. I was informed 2 days prior to my booked appointment that it was to be rescheduled due to their lack of staffing. I booked over a month prior to this giving them the information that this needs to be done prior to 18 October. THEIR office employee chose 05 October and I agreed that I could take HALF A DAY off work to be here when they technicians showed up. When I stated that their lack of staff shouldn't come back as my issue, I was told how much pressure she ***** was under. After asking her to stop calling me "my dear" 3 times she continued to tell me that my issues were not as important as others and I should consider the people who don't have hot water or heat, stating that there was flooding in the province (in July) and it was getting cold at night. I told her I was aware of this but was leaving for over a month with a tenant in the house that is not responsible for the short comings of their company. I requested their managers information, this was not provided " they will call you when they have time but this won't fix anything they will rebook you for March next year". This was not the first issue I've had with Best Burner and have since canceled my services from Aabel fuels as they are the parent company.
