      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Unresolved
      I have a ductless system that is only a few months old. Installing company closed/moved business so I called Merz to come look at the issue. Worker said it had a coolant leak by the line connection on the outside unit. Guaranteed he could prevent it from leaking in the future with special “O” rings, he came back another day and installed the “O” rings and new coolant. Tried to pay him and was told they would bill me. Two days later my heat quit working again , only blowing cool air. Called then back , same worker came back , hung outside for two hours and told me it makes no sense cause it is a simple short run in closed system and he couldn’t find any other leak than the original one he said he fixed. He left and told me I needed to find someone else to fix it because he couldn’t get it fixed. I the received an 1100 plus bill in the mail. I called in and explained what was going on and said I would pay something but not that bill they made up. My heat worked for two days after I was guaranteed this would fix my problem. I’d gladly pay if the problem was fixed but it’s not and they left me hung out ti dry in the middle of winter with no heat.

      **** has been the most difficult heating and air companies we've ever dealt with. The tech who visits your home is absolutely fantastic. But the people who talk you into expensive yearly contracts and the scheduling for the twice yearly visits are extremely rude and uncooperative. I've had over half a dozen calls with them in the last year+, and despite signing the nearly $400 contract for two maintenance visits, I've only ever had one. Every time I call, I either receive no call back, or I am told (paraphrased) "Don't call us, we'll call you." The scheduling person absolutely refuses to give an appointment and leads you to believe there are other more important things happening than my maintenance visits. This has happened repeatedly. I've given up trying to get my second visit per my contract and will just be moving on to another more honest company with more professional employees. Despite my positive experience with the one tech I've ever been allowed to meet, the gatekeepers in the office have created a situation that I do not believe I would receive service if an emergency arose. Overall, this impression has given me a one-star rating of dishonest. They kept the contract money, refused to refund it, and refused to visit our home to do the promised maintenance checks.
