T. Webber gave me an estimate to replace approximately 45 feet of clay ***** **** at my rental home at ***********************************************. Quoting from their final invoice, "upon arrival, we noticed that dig safe marked the gas line next to where the ***** **** is, we weren't 2 ft from the requirement for the machine to use, so we dug by hand about 2 ft and replaced 10 feet of clay **** to pvc." The invoice amount for replacing 40 feet of **** ( 8- 5 foot sections at $538.65 per section totaled $4309.20. Since only 10 feet were replaced, at their stated rate, this should have totaled $1077.30. The amount overcharged is $3231.90. In addition, there was a "confined space work area" charge of $2516.54. As the work was done entirely outside the house and not in the crawlspace as originally planned, this charge should also have been waived. These two items total $5748.44. After several attempts to reach Jetts, the plumbing manager, he finally (a week later) got back to me and said since they had to hand dig a trench, that equaled these charges and refused to make any price adjustments. The only credit offered was for $771, which was the initial visit "camera fee", which I was assured would be applied to the final cost of the project, and I am still waiting to see that credit on my credit card. By any measure, this is unfair and unethical business practice. I believe T. Webber owes me a significant credit on this $8843.92 invoice.Business response

Dear BBB,
This matter has been resolved, Our Plumbing Manager **** spoke to ************ on August 21 and gave him a refund directly on his credit card for a total of $771.00.
The scope of the job changed, and equipment could not be used, techs had to hand dig all trenches, call Dig Safe as there were gas lines buried below, Our Manager explained this job would have cost $10K, T Webber did it for $8K.
Refund has been processed; it will take up to **** days.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:[Your Answer Here]
This is the same explanation that I received from T. Webber when they finally responded to my phone calls questioning the amount billed. If they were willing to replace 40 feet of waste line for this amount using an excavator, I don't believe that hand digging a 10 foot long by 2 foot deep trench could possibly cost the same amount. I have received the $771 credit that was promised before the work was done, but the balance that I was charged is unacceptable.
In order for the BBB to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above.

Dear BBB,
We are sorry that *** ***************** is not happy with our solution.
**** agreed with the $771 discount offered on a recorded phone line.
The service we provided should have been billed at $10K we charged $8K,
Unfortunately, we will not be able to offer any other discounts for this job per our plumbing manager Jeth.

In 12/2022 we had our heating system serviced, we were told that it needed to be replaced. We schedule the maintenance and applied for their financing they offered. When they came to do the work they installed a chimney furnace when we dont have a chimney. It took them over 15 hours to install the incorrect system for my home. I asked them many times over the course of the day of there was a problem or if everything was going well to which I was told all was going fine. Come to find out around 10pm at night they finally came clean with my husband the issue, that they knowingly installed the incorrect system and were just trying to get it to work because it was the middle of winter and it was freezing outside and we have 3 young children. The system was never inspected and we were told that they would be back to take out what was put in and they would install the correct furnace for our home. They have yet to do so, will not answer our phone calls or emails. What should we do? They have already been paid and we never received the cost of the job showing how much all the things cost.Business response

We had issues with a hot water valve that was not regulating water temperature, resulting in extremelly hot water. My husband contacted T.Webber and had them come and replace the valve. A week later our issues became the opposite, we were then having very **** warm/cold water. Our showers were painfully cold and my husband contacted T.Webber to come back during out warranty, but did not hear back from them. We finally had them come back as we assumed the valve they placed was defective. The second person that came told us that the valve BROKE because our system is too old and was releasing sediments, so the whole system needs to be replaced or it would keep breaking the valves. When we questioned about why their first plumber did not mentioned before on the first visit so we could avoid a $700 bill for something that made our winter MISERABLE, the plumber simply said "yeah, I don't know. He is usually pretty good. I will have to get on his case". He admitted their mistake, but refused to fix their mistake. They then wanted to charge for the visit for something they caused, which we fought not to pay. We called their office MULTIPLE TIMES to request a partial refund due to the horrible service provided that cause us to spend $700 to change a valve that broke ONE WEEK later instead of telling us we had to replace the system that they now want $1500 for. It is almost as if they did it on purpose. Every time we call, they say they will call back and go weeks without returning a call. They refuse to take out calls and keep saying they are busy and will call the same day, which they don't.Business response

T Webber installed an HVAC system in the summer of 2020. Within 1 year the refrigerant in 1 of the condenser leaked out. I called and they came to refill the refrigerant and they performed a pressure test and said everything looked normal in 2021. Within another year the refrigerant leaked out again and they came to refill the condenser in early 2022 and they said they would set another appointment when it gets warmer to find the problem. This never happened until I called because the system had another issue. This time they came and performed a leak test and found the source of the leak around Sep 2022. They have said they would contact me with a plan but that never happened. I have called several times and customer service has always said each time that they will send an e-mail to the supervisor and I would ask to be included in these e-mails and I never was. I never received any e-mails or any communication from T-Webber about my issue.In December 2022, I called T-Webber because the system stopped working. The system leaked out all the refrigerant again. They were suppose to come and refill the system but then I received a call from a technician **** that said "there is no point to refill the system with refrigerant because it is going to leak out so we plan to get the problem fixed instead." **** said that they will come out to fix it on that Friday of the same week and I waited that day and called T-Webber to find out that they have nothing on schedule to come to my home. I told customer service if they aren't coming to fix the issue then let's get the refrigerant refilled. They came to "refill" the system and only 1 month later now Jan. 2023 the system is only blowing out cool air. There is no heat at all.Problems T-Webber installed the system with a workmanship issue at installation- the issue has been continuous and they do not seem to care about fixing the leak.They seem to "past on" the issues to their "Supervisor" but they never call back.Business response
