Our response remains the sameMr [redacted] 's is now adding to his original complaint, never was there a time when I spoke with him did he state the dryer vent was missed on the phone His dryer-vent is a free cleaning done with accessibility to our technicianAgain, a FREE CLEANING, his invoice does not state that it is was done, therefore indicating that it was not accessible for the free serviceAgain, Mr [redacted] 's was not present for the cleaning either wayTherefore, if maybe he was home and present during the cleaning, this would all be a different storyMaybe he would have been able to see what Negative Air Pressure cleaning entails and could have witnessed what was doneWe tried to discount his cleaning, we have tried to explain what was doneWe have tried to come to an understandingThis issue was resolved the same day, no threat to collections was ever written or given, Mr [redacted] paid same day a discounted price then the original total to satisfy his misunderstandingOur response, again, remains the same and I truly believe that Mr [redacted] 's is not looking for resolution of any kind Thank you for reviewing the above response,Lauren M.AGM

I am sorry to hear that Mr [redacted] was unsatisfied with his experience on March 22, Mr [redacted] did contact our office for service on March 21, 2017, to make an appointment for a coupon he had for a $cleaning of his air ductsWith this promotion, there is a free furnace inspection, and free dryer vent cleaningMr [redacted] at time of scheduling mentioned he had two dryer vents, we gave his one for free and one extra dryer vent for an additional $39.00.What Mr [redacted] is conveniently forgetting to mention is, we saw him on March 22, We received a phone call on April 22,a month later; that one of the two dryer vents were clogged and not functioning properlyI have provided a copy of the back of our invoice; where as it states under “Completion and Certificates” the owner has days to notify the company that something is not working properly and or functioning(Please see attachment)Needless to say, we still honored our customer satisfaction guarantee and called Mr [redacted] back, same day of complaint, on April ,We left him a voicemail to get him scheduled for as soon as possibleI have also provided a copy of our reception notes showing that we contacted Mr [redacted] an additional three times, leaving him voicemails to take care of the issue at hand (Please see attachment)It was not until April 27, 2017, that a very frustrated Mr [redacted] contacted our office requesting we fix his clogged dryer vent.On April 28, 2017, we sent our technician out to Mr***s home and attempt to unclog his ventUpon this appointment, our technician’s equipment got stuckWe scheduled Mr [redacted] again for May 3, At that time, we were still unable to get our brush out of his dryer ventI left Mr [redacted] a voicemail on May ,2017, to reschedule or refund Mr*** We did not hear back until May ,Mr [redacted] was not interested in a refund, and he was also not interested in our attempt to retrieve our brush, as our General Manager had suggested to our technicianWe have gone above and beyond to try to fix this issueWe were the ones whom contacted another company at our expenses to retrieve our brush and unclog Mr***s dryer ventI have attached another invoice showing we paid $99.00, to get this issue resolvedWe would be more than happy to issue Mr [redacted] a refund of $for the dyer vent being clogged and that we were unable to fix this problem for himAs far as the service, we would hope that customers would be able to understand that equipment can failThat we went above and beyond our Terms and Conditions to unclog Mr***s dryer vent the first time, unfortunately, we were not able to and our brush got stuckYes, we tried to fix this issue ourselves and set a technician multiple times to do so; and once unable, we paid an additional $to get this issue resolved to another company.We are willing to refund $Anything beyond that is not something we can justifyThank you in advance for again reviewing our documentation.Sincerely,Lauren M.AGM

We have acknowledge this issue with Ms [redacted] and have tried to send a Technician out to her home to inspect the issueUnfortunately, no we do not have a manager that can come out to inspectWith that said we have been trying to communicate with the customer with either reimbursement or sending a technician outWe have been in contact with Ms [redacted] via emailWe would like to speak to her directly involving reimbursementWe ask that Ms [redacted] give us a call as soon as possible to resolve this issue

We tried to contact Mr [redacted] by phone today to discuss this account with him He was not available We did respond to his email - see below - Good afternoon Mr [redacted] , I am sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with our service I wish you would have contacted our office and we could have sent a technician out to evaluate the job and redo the service We have cancelled your filter order and consider your account closed We will be responding to the Revdex.com to let them know as well Thank you, Lisa We have absorbed the cost of the cleaning and the sanitation he did receive, we also have cancelled the order of his air filter As you can see, we have resolved this account with our customer Please reflect this account as Resolved Thank you so much, Lisa

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me Sincerely, [redacted]

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because:I had US Air Ducts come out to my home based on the premise that they would clean my air ducts for $When I scheduled this service, they did not ask me how long it had been since my air ducts had been cleaned, and they gave me no indication whatsoever that the cost could be higher that $39.When they arrived, they told me that I needed much more workI initially rejected the offer, but Nathan persisted, going on and on about the air quality in my home and the efficiency of my HVAC systemHe offered a yearly service for years for a total cost of around $I told him that I don't want the yearly service because we will probably move before thatBut he insisted that the service would move with usI sometimes have difficulty resisting high-pressure salesmen, and after rejecting his offer several times I reluctantly gave in.After they left, I realized that I was the victim of a bait-and-switch scamHad I know that the cost would be even $200, I would not have had them come to my home in the first placeI recalled that sales made in the home are subject to a 3-day right of rescission, so I exercised that rightI believe that I could hold them to the original $price that they had given me on the phone, but I decided to be generous and offer to let them keep the $that has already been charged to American ExpressThat is very reasonable for to man-hours of workThey are welcome to pick up the UV filter that they installed if they want it back.I did some online research and found that duct cleaning is needed only in rare, extreme circumstances according the the EPAI am sure that I did not need it, but I decided to have it done anyway for $The idea of paying $or more for such a service is a ripoff, and that is why these guys resort to a bait-and-switch business model to get their foot in the door and pressure the customer.Their high-pressure bait-and-switch tactics should be stopped before they rip off more unsuspecting customers Sincerely, [redacted]

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and find that the offer to refund the $is satisfactory to me but disagree with the business' statement that they went above and beyond in customer serviceThat may be the case for their company but if their response is considered to be above and beyond that is an indication of how low the bar starts for themThe attempts to contact me that failed were due to the fact that I had called several times to ask them to change the phone number to my phone number instead of my mother-in-law's phone number that was on fileIt took several calls on my part to get them to finally change the number so that I was the one in contact with him to get the situation remedied While I admit the final resolution is acceptable how we got to this point is not I do not wish to pursue any further action but I do want the file noted that the customer service level of this company is in fact poor both from a technician standpoint and from a call center standpoint Sending a technician out time after time who clearly was not capable of doing the job and who consistently came later than scheduled does not in my definition go above and beyondSeveral attempts at changing the contact phone number so we could remedy the situation expeditiously does not fit my definition of above and beyondAnd finally the most glaring of all evidences of how low the initial level of customer service is from US air ducts was made very apparent when the third party this company hired to finish what they started had the job complete professionally and thoroughly in less that minutes, removing the previous texhnicians broken tools from the line along with substantial residual dryer lint,cleaning up after themselves and replacing the broken vent that was damaged from this company's technician Sincerely, [redacted] ***

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because:You have mentioned that * [redacted] was the one who signed your paper and that was not the signature of * [redacted] .Also, tenants do not have any decision on the job I asked you to do and you did not inform me before you did whatever additional job you did Whoever signed that paper I do not have anything to do with that person.When I was reading all the reviews on the website you are doing those things too to other people which is not right that's why they called you scammers and I think you are.Please stop harassing my tenants since they did not do anything wrong and as a Landlord you have to communicate with me not to them Sincerely,

We apologize, and I will look into this matterI will speak to our advertisers to clear any and all mistakes regarding this
