    Our purchase started with ********** in *********, **. Our salesman was *** (can't find last name).The salesman said the unit would provide even temperatures throughout both levels. It doesn't.Our main floor is 10 degrees warmer than downstairs, and as you walk up the steps, you can feel it getting warmer. He also said he would drain and clean the dehumidifier unit, and other minor things, which was never done. We have had technicians out so many times that I don't even remember how often, but were told it was our thermostat. Then we were told that since our electric company had us on a program to conserve, that was causing the problem. Numerous times we had more technicians here, but nothing was ever fixed. This went on for at least 2 years. We regularly change the filter and clean the heat pump. Several weeks ago, a local company came to check it, and they determined the unit we were sold was not big enough. Earlier this week when I got home from work after a hot, very humid day, I walked in my home to worse conditions than what it was outside. (The air conditioner had been running constantly for several days in a row, and we had fans running to try to move air around.) That was my last straw. We then had a different company check it out and were told the compressor needed to be replaced, at a cost of around $3,000.00. Or we could replace the whole heat pump for $7,000.00, or everything we had from Total Comfort for $14,000.00 with $3,000.00 in rebates. We would be happy with Total Comfort covering the cost of new compressor. We just want what we were promised.

    I used total comfort via Home Depot for tune up and was told capacitor is not at the recommended level and it should provide an output of 40 with plus or minus 5 %. Mine was at 37.2 and is working fine. They recommended to change and was told it might break at any time and needs to be replaced soon. I was charged 289 for this and then when I checked the part cost in Amazon, it costs less than 15 dollars and they are ripping it off from the consumers who don't know the cost of capacitor. I called the office and reported it and they told me they can't help it. Please be cautious with this company as they might charge way more than others by not providing actual details.

    Hello, our technician recommended the part replacement due to inconsistent and fluctuating levels. The customer agreed to the price before we completed the service. Yes, the part itself is fairly inexpensive, however, this service comes with a trained technician, fully stocked truck, office staff support, a labor and parts warranty, etc. There is more to the **** service than the cost of the part. We connected with the customer after this service call and even offered a 1 year maintenance plan free of charge to continue to earn their business. Unfortunately, the customer declined this offer and published this review.
