On 4/20/2024 my furnace ceased function. On 4/21/24 American Home Shield (AHS) issued Air Pro Heating and Cooling (Air Pro) as contractor, Dispatch: #*********. Furnace was red tagged by Air Pro. Partial approval of coverage received from AHS. New unit, with partial installation would be covered; modifications would not be covered under installation. Additional $3100 for “modification” costs was provided by Air Pro to AHS. Secondary to high cost of “modifications” an inquiry was made for a cash-in-lieu offer. Value of cash-in-lieu provided by AHS was $555.67, as determined by documentation submitted by Air Pro. This would indicate that a brand new furnace with labor and install, without modifications, would be valued at $555.67 by Air Pro. Air Pro was requested to provide breakdown of specific items that correlated to modifications with their associated costs, no specific list received. With such a low cash-in-lieu offer, provided by submitted documentation from Air Pro to AHS, we could not seek other alternatives for repair without elevated financial burden. Following installation review of “modifications made”, images taken. All duct work limited to 8” and below of original duct system, actual gas line reused from previous furnace and connected to new furnace. Furnace flu pipes required 2-3 joint adjustments to original PVC pipes. Requested cost breakdown to warrant $3100 modification fee, as labor involvement appeared lower than originally expected. Even following multiple requests, we did not receive a response to how some of the labor for this installation process deviates from a regular installation, that would have been covered by AHS. The entire situation seemed dishonest and fraudulent. In addition, the fact that AHS does not allow other contractors in once a company is active and able to “resolve” the issue further raises my suspicion that Air Pro Heating and Cooling does infact know how the system works and are using it for their own personal gains.Business response

We will be communicating with Mr. ******** regarding the issue at hand. We will communicate with him telling him about how the warranty company works with all AHS policy holding customers. They are much different than homeowners insurance. We have already reached out and left a message to return our call as of 1:30 p.m. June 4th.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.Regarding Air Pro Heating and Cooling we would like to inform you that the owner of the company reached out and spoke with my wife ******* ********. Following their communication and dispute Air Pro Heating and Cooling has agreed to adjust the bill total which is what we were looking for due to the items we questioned following install. They have agreed to lower cost by 500.00 dollars. They stated they will release funds back to us once we agree to inform you that the matter has been resolved. At this time you can take this as my consent that the matter has been resolved, so long as they do release the funds after the case is closed.
Please let me know when I could contact the company and inform them that case is resolved on your end so they may release the funds.

My furnace died on 12/13/23 and I placed a claim through my home warranty company, American Home Shield (AHS). AHS sent out one of their contracted HVAC companies, Air Pro Pittsburgh, to my home on 12/15/23. The technician ( I believe his name was John) was great. He was very helpful and even tried to get our furnace running temporarily, so that my wife and I, along with our four year son, cat and dog, would have heat through the weekend. He said while our furnace was older, it ran great, and just needed the motor blower replaced. On Monday, I spoke to Air Pro Pittsburgh and they informed me they were having issues getting the motor blower part that was needed. I told them that this specific part that the technician had shown me was available on Amazon, along with Johnston Supply near my home in Butler, and also in Sewickley, PA. I understand Air Pro has different wholesaler contracts that they work with, but at this point my family and I were heating our home with a space heater and it was 50 degrees in my house. After many calls to the sales team, that was absolutely the worst to work with, they said they could not get the part and would need to replace the furnace. Since I went through the warranty company AHS, they were willing to cover up to $5K, but the difference of the furnace would need to be covered out of pocket by me. I find this ridiculous since their very own technician said this part could be replaced and the furnace would work fine. I requested the sales team cover the difference between the $5K of my home warranty company and the cost of the furnace, since the part was obviously available many places. Now, after spending all day Tuesday when it was below freezing temps and on Wednesday when my house was 43 degrees inside, I ended up cancelling with Air Pro and I am in the process of getting my claim refund with AHS. The sales team at Air Pro is dispicable for letting a family suffer through the cold and I would like to let the BBB know of this.Business response

In response to ** ********* complaint.
American Home Sheild controls what we do and they get the parts for our company. so in this case we actual convinced the warranty company to let Air Pro supply the part, as of today we have still not recieved the part from Johnston Supply. unfortunatley American Home Sheild will only let us use OEM parts, which causes us as a vendor and the customer grief and aggravation.
Sorry for the Inconvenience

On April 5, 2023 Service Manager Evan B***** came over to my residence (unannounced or requested), as at the time we were personal friends. He came over after a third party told him my air conditioner was not working. I heard a noise outside and went out to find him (Evan B****** working on my air conditioner. He got it running, we talked for a while, and he left. On April 24, 2023 I receive a bill, which is one day after him and I had a personal disagreement. I was sent a bill for $805.00. Bill was for as follows: Emergency Service ($175), ******** ******* ******* Fluorescent Dye Cartridge ($70), ********* * ***** ********* A/C Leak Freeze ($110). Material Subtotal: $630. Subtotal: $805. I never contacted this company for service. I never signed a service agreement. I believe this was sent to me out of spite, and is abuse of his authority within the company. This is completely unprofessional, as well as illegal. Evan B***** has stated prior about other customers that they will turn them into collections, as well as pursue payment legally. I am afraid that this will affect my credit score, and be reported to credit companies, and I never signed or agreed to the service. ******* ** ************Business response

We spoke to the Technician about the situation and was aware of the repair. The work was okayed by the customer, but not the landlord. Airpro is going to void the due payment of 805.00. We apologize for any billing confusion made by our company/the technician. We value our customers concerns. There is no bill due at this given time. Again we apologize for any inconveniences.Customer response

We conducted biannual maintenance on our furnace and it was determined during the inspection that our furnace did not work. We asked Air Pro to install a new furnace which they guaranteed and provided a warranty for. The unit was installed Nov. 2022. Two weeks after they had to return to replace a faulty issue with the installation. Then 3days before the 25th dec the system broke down again and our family has been displaced during the holiday and the company still does not have the issue fixed or a timeline to fix. This happening during historically terrible weather where we are experiencing -20 degree chills.Business response

We have been in communication with this customer since the problem was discovered. The part was ordered immediately. Due the supply chain problems they did not have the replacement blower . I have been as transparent with ** ****** and said I no its not your fault we understand. I told him if there was a replacement furnace available I would of installed it immediately.
That's all I can do, at this time.
I have know idea why this as to get to complaint with the BBB.
At the time that the problem is resolved , I will have them contact Carrier Corporation to resolve any reimbursement
for there inconvenience.
