    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    Arnold and Son's employee came on 10/27 to inspect tankless water heater. The following information was gathered: problem statement, servicing history, length of installation. I was asked why I called them and not another company. I was also asked about the water softner: How old it was, etc? Which has nothing to do with the error code of the hot water heater. 3 Options were given for repair: 1. Replace Copper Piping with Black Iron, replace valve, flush tank - $3006 or $35/with no payment terms 2. Replace Valve, Flush Tank - $1431 or $17/month with no payment terms 3. Flush Tank - $638 Don't sell it as a repayment option if its a loan. Call it a loan. Option 1 was highly recommended for the optimal solution to the problem. This is the option that was chosen. On 10/30, the following was repaired/replaced: Pressure valve at water inlet, copper piping replaced with black iron for gas line, and a water heater lines flush to correct the problem. On 11/1, the tankless water heater blew the code of ER 29 again. On 11/2, I called Arnolds and Sons to make them aware of the issue. Service returned my call and left me a message. On 11/3 I returned his call and left him a message. I have never heard back from Arnold and Sons. Thus the reason for my claim. I had to call ***** *** to get my payment terms, since I never got a copy of them at the point of sale. Upon doing more research, I learned Arnold and Sons offers 4 types of loans (not repayment plans). None of the 4 options were discussed. The loan chosen for me was 6.99%, with a 5 month introductory period pmt. After 5 months, the pmt can go up and it depends on the amount owed. Why is an Arnold and Sons employee applying for a loan for a customer? That should not happen --- ever. Why is an Arnold and Son employee choosing the loan type for their customers? In the meantime, we had the air filter cleaned to correct for this error code. The issue was the air filter. Cleaning the air filter is a general maintenance item. A filter cleaning is worth a service call and maybe a small fee, not $3k worth of repairs. The problem statement was not addressed in the options, nor at time of service. We were given 3 expensive options that didn't provide resolution. I want my money refunded.

    Arnold and Son came out to fix a pin hole leak in a copper pipe in the basement. They came up with 3 ridiculous prices with the lowest being $419 and the highest being $3,699. They claimed our water pressures were high, that the water heater was about to go out and that we needed a pressure safety system. A few months later we had a similar leak in a different spot and a different plumber charged us $180 for the exact same work!! This company needs to be shut down with their ridiculous prices. They also come in with a clipboard and handwrite a full page with different options that normal working people can't afford. What a waste of time!!

    There is no record of a job performed for a customer named D******* Johnson.  However it's likely someone else's name was used for the house of record.  With that in mind, we can only respond based upon Ms. Johnsons review, and the fact that the price of $419 is consistent with a price to repair a water line  seems consistent with our charge that type of repair. 

    To our knowledge there was no problem with timeliness, response time, cleanliness, the issue we were called out for not being corrected.  There was no attitude issues with our call center taking the call nor with the technicians that assessed and repaired the problem.  Our prices were given upfront with no hidden fees.  At this point I am unsure what we can do for Ms Johnson.  

    I certainly can't speak to what another plumber decided to charge. Because it was lower cost does not mean it was fair.  Maybe they were feeling generous, maybe thats what they charge and if that's the case and they seem to be a good fit for Ms. Johnson,  then we understand we are not the plumber for her.
