This customer called us because she lost her remote control for her ductless air conditoner. The ductless air conditioner will not work without the remote. We special ordered the remote for her and set up an appointment to deliver the remote and test the unit. The technician did not have batteries with him and asked the customer if they could provide them to set up the remote with the ductless air conditioner to allow for proper testing. Once the unit was set up with the new remote, the technician advised the customer that the unit required cleaning due to a lack of maintenance. He advised and showed the customer how to clean the filters on the unit as this should be done on a regular basis. When the service call was booked with us, this customer did not mention to us that they required maintenance of any sort. Our technician was kind enough to point out the dirty filters and show them how to maintain their unit. We do not charge service calls for maintenance, only for repairs. This customer wanted the service call charge to go towards a maintenance of the unit which we do not charge for. Her pump ultimately failed due to lack of maintenance and we tried to help her understand how to do that herself. Servicing the pump is part of the maintenance service but we were not asked to perform the maintenenace on the unit when the service call was booked. The technician sent out was a repair technician who carries parts and tools for repairs not a maintenance technician who carries cleaning tools and cleaners. Our maintenance charges are flat rate without a service charge. If the remote was a problem and she called us again for service, the service call charge would not be charged to this customer because she has already paid for it. I can explain this to you over the phone if you wish to discuss the matter further. Mike Logozzo 416-532-2859.

All of our technicians have ladders on their trucks to service this type of equipment. The only time we do not service these units is when the weather is bad and doesn't allow us to service the units properly. We always call ahead if the technicians are late or if we cannot accommodate the appointment time. BE AWARE....This person has given bad reviews to all the companies she has dealt with. I don't see this as a legitimate review and could be false. If this person wishes to discuss the matter in person or on the phone they are more than welcome to come into the office or give us a call at 416-532-2859.
In response to this negative review I would like to point out that all work promised was completed on time and on budget as requested by this customer. He left his contractor in charge of the job and we worked around his contractor's schedule and completed the work as requested. We had originally quoted this customer on a plastic piping system (which was completed) and then he changed his mind and wanted to run copper instead. I did not charge him for this change and absorbed all excess costs of material and labour. In the end when we finished our work, this customer started asking for extras in regards to the finishing of the pipes which was not quoted out. We had agreed to use all existing material, other than the new piping, to lower the costs of the job. As I provided him with the costs of the finishing materials, he refused to pay any extras and decided that he will take care of those things himself. We never refused service to this customer and all work was approved by his contractor at the time of installation. When I told this customer that the finishing would be extra to the contract he got upset and threatened to do what it takes to tarnish the Dupont name. As I don’t like to leave any customers with an unhappy thought about the company, I would like this customer to call me back so that I can discuss the issues and hopefully leave him with a smile.

We had worked around this customer's budget and his contractor's schedule for this job. The company absorbed most of the extra costs of repiping the system so that this customer would not go over budget. I was extremely fair and sympathetic to this customer and tried to keep the costs as low as possible. When this customer was given the extra costs for the materials he wanted, he flately refused and decided to take on the work himself. I don't know what more I could have done to keep this customer happy. My offer still stands to discuss the issue and work something out.
