Terrible service provider
I've had a unit installed by Mill's Air for eight years. The unit started giving us problems starting this past June. We called in for service, and the technician arrived on the day and scheduled time window. He asked me what was wrong with the unit, and I explained that the unit has been running and not cooling at all, and that it has been going on for two weeks. he proceeded to check the compressor housing outside. he told me he checked everything and that the only thing he found wrong was the number of pounds of freon in the unit. He told me that I was down one pound and that he would re\-charge it. After he did that, he went into his vehicle and got his leak detector and checked both the units, compressor housing and the inside air handler. He did not find any freon leaks. The next day the unit was not cooling again. after calling mill's air for the second time, they dispatched the same technician out to the house. he checked the unit again and this time he said it was the capacitor. I spoke to him on the phone and asked him for the part number for the capacitor so I can order the part in. I was not going to pay over $150.00 for a part that only costed me $20.00. once the capacitor was replaced the unit worked for 24 hours and then stopped completely. Another call was put in for the same unit. this time we waited some time to call. I was informed by other companies that it would be better to call the installers again to come out. So, I called Mill's Air once again. the schedule was made, and the technician arrived, this time a different one. This technician after asking me what the problem was, and I responded with the current issue I added the previous experience we had with the unit. This time the unit was not powering up at all. He checked the electrical lines and spliced two lines to override something, and the unit started. It still was not cooling. He checked the compressor for freon and discovered that the unit flat lined (no freon). He then told me that I was being charged for the freon, I told him that the unit was, supposably re\-charged to five pounds less than a month ago. He called the shop, and they instructed him to charge the unit, at this time it made we wonder if the previous technician had really topped of the unit. This time I paid extra for another leak search, to my surprise a leak was located within the air handler coil. this leak was even visible. We heard it and saw the freon seeping out of the unit. How can this have been missed? I went ahead and asked the tech to check the unit's warranty, I knew I have two more years to go for the ten\-year warranty to lapse. Well, Un behold, Mills Air, back in November of 2015, never registered my units when I purchased the house. Mill's Air will not take any responsibility for their negligence and now I have to pay for the entire unit to be replaced. I was told by them that at this point I would have to plea my case to the manufacturer. They didn't even offer assistance. After this mess I am recommending that no one use Mill's Air, even if they installed the equipment. As long as the HVAC company is Carrier "Factory Authorized" you can use anyone else. They wouldn't even consider reimbursing me for at least the first freon charge.
