      Dauenhauer installed a new HVAC system on 06/18/24. The gentlemen were friendly, however they used my kitchen floor to cut their sheet metal, and scratched my floor. They also proceeded to put a gash in the laundry room floor where the system was installed. I called, and complained, but I was not nasty, or hateful, and offered them to come and look at the damage, they accepted and the manager came to my home on 06/24/24 and evaluated the damage. He offered me $500, but did not offer to fix the laundry room floor, did not care about my kitchen floor. After he left, I felt extremely insulted, and I feel taken advantage of, because I am a woman living alone. I feel if this was a man, and this was their own kitchen or laundry room floor, they would demand to have it fixed. It's a shame that I paid over $7000 for this install, and Dauenhauen doesn't care that they carelessly damaged my floors, that I can't afford to replace.

      I was charged $255.00 for a running toilet which only needed an o ring gasket. It took 5 minutes. Two men were sent. They immediately tried to upsell me 3 new toilets for $800+ apiece. They spent more time on their portable tablet entering my card and then having me sign 3 times. They then told me the cost for their service. I felt helpless as I knew I had been had. I live in an elderly community The Traditions at Parks Edge. Numerous neighbors also have horror stories of being criminally overcharged by this company. The primary subject who had a fairly long beard scolded me for calling the second man “his helper”. The second man spent his whole time just grinning at me. On a side note. I see two of their trucks parked side by side in the corner of Hooter’s parking lot on Richmond Rd for long long lunch breaks.

      I titled my sales meeting today "empty promises". I used this company as a case study. This company Davenhauer answers the phone " How can I make you smile". I don't think you could be farther away from the truth. Had a leak at the base of our toilet. Busy day work people all over the building. Called Dauenhauer. Got this companies name from the internet. Should have searched BBB reviews. I would have seen all of the 1 stars and would have known they are dishonest. They sent out a guy. I couldn't call him a technician because he did absolutely nothing other than charge me $252. and ran out the door guaranteeing me the problem was corrected. I guess I should have left my customer and checked his work. Didn't think he would just flat out lie. After about 20 minutes I ran upstairs and flushed the toilet. Leaking exactly in the same spot. This was a Friday evening. We had a major meeting Sunday couldn't have a leaking toilet. Called again. They sent out a child Saturday. But I can say at least he stayed longer than 10 minutes. He tried to charge me another $252. for a part he said I might need at a later date but it had nothing to do with the leak. This time flushed the toilet before he left. No issues. 10 minutes later flushed the toilet again. Leaking from exactly the same spot. Saving grace. A painter in building heard me complaining. He asked to look at my problem. He took the toilet apart and showed me absolutely nothing was replaced to fix my problem other then they probably just tighten 2 screws. I'm not a plumber. I relied on this company to do what was necessary. This painter told me he could have our problem fixed in 1 hour. He took one of my employees to the hardware store. Purchased a new toilet installed it and my problem was solved. Wow. he's a painter. Called Dauenhauer 3 times. Still waiting for a response. I see this is a culture in this company. Not just the guys they send out. NEVER USE DAUENHAUER. They have major internal problems.

      If you use them, they will end up costing you a lot of money! And they may not resolve the issue. The technicians kept pointing out issues in addition to my leaking toilet. I did have it replaced, but once they were done, the total cost was $1504.50. To fix and replace a leaking toilet and old seal on a "leaking" shower. While they were very nice, they kept finding more things wrong that needing fixing. The KICKER was after they were all done and tried to flush the toilet it would not flush. They said it had a blockage and that they did not have the equipment with them to fix it. The PLUMBERS did not have equipment with them to fix a blocked toilet! They said they could have someone come out tomorrow for $450.00 to unblock it! And they could not tell the toilet was blocked in the first place, which may have caused the leak in the first place! Please do not use them. I do not know that if this is true, but I had heard that the plumbers work on commission and it seemed to be true. The office staff was pushing a VIP membership and they kept finding things wrong.

      We apologize for any inconvenience that our customer may have experienced. It is never our intention to cause further stress. The original work order stated that there was a leak coming through the ceiling from the tub upstairs. Because the technician was dispatched for the leak, they were not prepared to treat a clog. It would be impossible for a technician to keep all equipment for all scenarios in their trucks.

      We understand that there are other home service companies that are less expensive than we are, and there are others who are more expensive than Dauenhauer. What sets us apart is the warranty that we place on the work that we do, and the reputation of excellence since 1958.

      I have not been able to use my kitchen in over a month because this company has failed repeatedly. First, they couldn't correctly diagnose the cause of water damage, which had resulted in the need to remove all flooring, backs of cabinets, and part of the wall in my kitchen. They left a hole in my wall for 3 days while I waited for another technician to come out and replace the drain pipe. After that was done (and paid for), I discovered the leak was still happening, so I had to wait several more days to have them come out and remove a clog in the main drain. I had asked for cause of damage to be included in the invoice every time the technicians came out, and they never included it. I have called 5 times now asking for this documentation so insurance can move forward with kitchen restoration, all while living in a house with an inoperable kitchen and AFTER paying Dauenhauer's absurdly high price for an incomplete job. I will NEVER use this company again.

      This matter was resolved by one of our CSRs and management has been made aware and will address with the technicians.

      I called and scheduled for someone to come and give me an estimate on replacing our Church plumbing system. They gave me a date and a 7 hour window (10-5). I paid our security $15 a hour to wait on them to come. Around 3:45 the day of the appointment, they called and said they got caught up on another job and will not be able to make it. We rescheduled for the next day, same 7 hour window, they called at 9:40 said they were on the way be there in 30 minutes. No one showed up. I called back and all they said was there is a 7 hour window. After paying someone almost $300 to wait in them they still didn’t show up. NEVER EVER AGAIN WILL I CALL THEM. I will make sure the 500 people in my congregation never call them either!!!!

      Dauenhauer Plumbing is aware that our customers' time is valuable. Because of this, we send text messages and call 30 minutes prior to our arrival at their home/business. As part of our call process, informing our customers of this and verifying that the contact information we have on file is the best way to reach them is actually a graded category on our Customer Service reviews. I have listened to the initial call and verified that this did occur for this job. Due to an emergency situation, the estimator scheduled for this job was unable to keep the appointment. The team lead in our Dispatch Office spoke with Rev. K**** to make him aware of this and rescheduled the appointment. It is unfortunate that we were unable to provide this customer with estimate services as originally scheduled and are truly apologetic for their inconvenience. Our estimator has been to this location, gathered information, and is working up the final figures for the service they have requested.

      They called at 3:46 saying they can’t make it. The appointment was set for the next day they called me at 9:45 and stated they were on their way. No one showed up until late that afternoon. No text message until after I called and complained.

      Dauenhauer plumbing in Louisville KY is the worse plumbing company. They have no respect for their customers. The ones in the office are incompetent. They act like they don't know what to do. You file for a credit for service and they don't know how to do it. Their price for a hot water heater and labor is $700-$800 is more than any other plumbing companies. Letting people know not to do business with Dauenhauer plumbing. Usually I don't file or write a complaint on a company, but when a company like Dauenhauer plumbing tries to rip off people, I feel my responsibility to let people know about them. Dauenhauer is unprofessional and rude, a ripoff company.

      We understand that there are services that are plumbers who are less expensive than we are. What sets us apart from the others is how we warranty the work we do. We also offer additional ways to save money such as our Comfy Club Memberships. If needed, we also offer financing through Greensky Financing, which is its own individual company. Before proceeding with the work, our customers are provided with up front/in person pricing. By doing so, our customers have the choice to research all of their options. Some people choose not to hire us for our services, such as this customer did. We have been in business since 1958 and feel confident that the services we provide are second to none.

      The plumber that came did not even know how to set up about getting finance. I have talked to a lot of people that would not have Dauenhauer plumbing do any work. I still feel Dauenhauer plumbing is unprofessional and rude.

      I highly recommend Dauenhauer Heating and Air. If I could rate them higher I would. I cannot find anything negative to say about the service I received. The response was quick with Jacob coming out to give me the free estimate the same day I requested it. The install was scheduled for the very next day. Brandon and Conner kept me informed of their install process and did an excellent job. Best price in town and on quality equipment, They even offer 0 % financing for a year. My heat works great and just in time for Christmas. Dauenhauer has found themselves a customer for life!!

      Had ducts cleaned Oct 19, 2022. Within a couple of weeks I called my HVAC company because I kept smelling a burnt smell. They showed me the filter (which had been replaced the month before). It was filthy with lots of debris hanging off it. In addition the HVAC employee needed to hand remove a large pile of dirt/hair. It was so much that his vacuum clogged. The Carbon Monoxide under the house was 10. I called Dauenhauer to complain. I was told the manager was busy and he would call later. He didn’t. I called back the next day and spoke with him. He kept saying they guarantee their work. I had to ask for an apology before he gave me one. He only offered to send the guys (who messed up the first time) back out. I didn’t want them working on my house again. My HVAC company came back this week because of continued burning smell. The filter was again filthy. Additionally, with internal inspection he found dust all inside the unit. He vacuumed what he could. Inside the house the carbon monoxide is 4. My HVAC company will be monitoring the filter and CO levels weekly and as requested. I’m looking at having to buy a new heating unit soon because of Dauenhauer’s incompetent work. I’ve asked for my $ back but actually think they should have some responsibility in paying for the new unit since they damaged my current one.
