    Company originally misled, wouldnt give quote for thermostat installation and took 60$ upfront to book appointment and have technician come out. When the technician arrived he pulled out a tablet and said a thermostat installation is $200. I called the company and they apologized for misinforming me but if I decided not to go with them they would not refund money. I decided to let them do the work. Technician installed thermostat and left before seeing if furnace would turn off, it did not, and my house was 80 degrees before I had a friend tell me how to shut the furnace off by hand. Called company next day to explain issue, they sent same tech out, he began to take apart the furnace (at no point were there issues with the furnace) and say that he thought the issue was the water heater (at no point was this an issue, it was a wiring issue), when my husband saw this he asked him to stop, but everything back and to please leave our house. He reinstall the old thermostat and left the house (without turning on the furnace). I was told that someone would come back out soon left work early, at 415 I called to confirm, was told no one was coming because we are on the do not service list now and someone would call to walk us through getting our heat back on. Our heat is on (old thermostat is installed) and I believe the company should refund the $200 or at least $140 (the ***** the day up front is non refundable) because no thermostat was installed (correctly). 2 days and $200 later and a 1/2 day of missed work, my old thermostat is still working (like it was before) I was just hoping to upgrade to a smart thermostat (nothing was broken). I can not provide a receipt because the company doesnt provide them but Im sure they have an electrical copy on their end. I have my credit card statement if need be

    I had a terrible experience with Dempsey Energy. This company is extremely dishonest, and I strongly advise against doing business with them. We called them to check our HVAC system because it wasn't cooling properly. They informed us that the booking fee was $99 to come out to the house and evaulate the problem, which would then be applied to the total cost of the repair. A technician came and spent nearly two hours assessing the issue. He concluded that the coolant pressure needed to be tested and refilled, and provided an estimate of almost $4,000. I asked for some time to think about it and whether I wanted to proceed with the $4000 repair, so the technician left but then they hit us with a $350 charge. A charge which I was not notified about and did not authorize. When I called the manager to dispute this, they claimed that any time beyond 15 minutes incurs additional chargessomething they never disclosed when I originally booked the appointment. Now I understand why the technician seemed so relaxed and took his time. We tried to get this unfair charge reimbursed, and complained about the lack of transparency, but our efforts were unsuccessful. It feels like this company is deliberately taking advantage of their clients. I strongly suggest you avoid hiring Dempsey Energy unless you want to get scammed.

    I am sorry you feel that you shouldnt have paid for your service. But you were told about the diag fee to go to your house & excepted it with your credt card payment as well. ( all phone calls are recorded ) After working at the house for 2 hours bringing up ladder to your roof and getting tools out and also putting together an estimate There would need to be a charge for your service and after listenig to the phone conversation It was explained that the ***** is just to go to your home and also said the service will be in addition to that. Also the invoice was signed and excepted for that service charge You claimed that you thought you signed for the estimate. Why ? If you didnt want the work done Why would you sign an estimate you dont want? He knew what he signed for (service)
