    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Resolved
    In March 2024, I selected PlumbingToday to replace my water line to my house. I had three issues with the service. 1st was misleading sales tactics, which has been rectified privately with ********************************* in ********, *******. The reason for writing is because they have not addressed my other concerns. Another issue were the problems that the technicians created by not properly identifying all the pipes and their functions. A quoted 6 hour job turned into a 5 day job due to not identifying the correct pipes as they cut both irrigation and house line and then tried to connect one to the other which led to numerous fixes after discovering their repairs continued to leak. There were multiple times where the techs were about to clean up thinking the job was complete but because I was present and pointed out small leaks, is when they mentioned they needed more time to fix their repairs. I have photos and video to verify their problematic fixes. They made repairs to the irrigation line but I had to suggest turning it on to check for leaks. When it was turned on, there were leaks. The job was finally complete after 5 days, 3 separate techs, 1 supervisor, 1 project manager and too many phone calls to the dispatch office to get it resolved. Even after the first day of issues, the job at my house wasnt communicated that it needed to be scheduled another day. When I called for a status on the technicians arrival, I was told there wasnt one scheduled and Id have to wait another day as they didnt have time. They found time after I explained my dissatisfaction with my experience so far. Due to the inconveniences I had with this company, having to adjust schedules for multiple days due to poor planning and execution on their part, I expressed interest in some form of compensation. Ive brought it up to multiple levels of management at Plumbing/CoolToday and the idea of a credit or adjustment has been ignored as if the job was done correctly as promised.

    I had a plumbing problem and an A/C problem, since Cool Today does both I thought I use them and only get one service charge, wrong. The plumbing person came out on time and I could understand him even with his accent. We finally got the same understanding about why I called Cool Today. I just needed my water heater anode rod loosened so I could see what condition it was in. The technician got the anode loose and I could see how much material had fallen off the rod. When I first called in I was told it would probably cost $59.00. When the tech was ready to leave he stated that $59.00 figure was for the shop only, I was going to be charged $171.00 for this job. He told me $171.00 was the minimum charge for a Cool Today plumber. Soooo, if you think the job you have for them is at least worth $171.00 you might consider using them. Now the A/C problem. I couldn't understand this A/C technician, I don't know which country he was native to but I didn't speak his language. Anyway, I wanted a spring tune up on my A/C, I was given a figure of $89.00 for this. The technician did his work then the bill came due. The tech stated I needed some refrigerant, I asked him how much for the refrigerant, he entered some numbers on his computer and showed it to me. About $600.00+. Wow. I told the tech no thanks. I ended up being charged $89.00. Later I found out the system only holds three pounds of refrigerant. Cool Today's charge for refrigerant is rather steep. I'd suggest you go somewhere else for plumbing and A/C work.
