Furnance & Vent Cleaning

Oct 09, 2014
Have used this company exclusively over the 18 years we've lived in home. Had service done on this date & staff(Ha, Justin and Dillan) were the utmost in professionalism and customer service (as were the staff who made the phone calls prior to their arrival) Kudos to the 3 fellows. Only strange issue we had was being told there were 2 additional vents that had never been done which were done at this visit & which made our bill much higher than we were told . Given this is the ONLY company we have ever used in this home over 18 years - how is it that 2 ducts were never discovered and cleaned in ALL those years by the numerous technicians that came in and were supposed to be thorough in completing the job????

Update Oct 14,2014
Hi Holly,
Thank you so much for responding and sending the issue onto your general manager. I can not say enough about her. She contacted us today and has gone above & beyond anything we expected a company to do- an outstanding representative for your company- no wonder she has been there since 1984 which is actually how long we have been customers of your company. We can't say enough and only wish ALL companies followed Alberta Carpet & Furnace Cleaning's example of amazing customer service. A big thank you to you and her.

Hi Kim, Thank you for providing your feedback - I'm happy to hear that the cleaning went well, but sorry to hear about the vent count confusion - we always want to make sure that our pricing is clear and thorough. I was able to locate what I think is your customer file and review your vent counts and you are correct that there has been some variation in your counts. On a note from an older invoice I could see that there were 2 vents in a crawl space that were mentioned and my best guess would be that we did not access those two vents at the cleaning before this one, resulting in 2 less vents than the current cleaning. I have passed on your concern to a manager who will be following up with you.

Best Regards,
Holly Jones

Furnace and Duct Cleaning

We arranged furnace and carpet cleaning for the day after we took possession of our new-to-us home. The gentlemen who did both pieces of work were friendly, professional and thorough. However, I took far too many calls to get it booked. I submitted the online booking form and got a call back (1) to confirm everything. Two days prior I received two separate calls confirming my booking (2, 3). On the day of the service, I received five calls about what time they were coming. Five! For a total of 8 calls for a pretty straight forward booking. All of the phone calls were a hassle given that I work and we have a zillion other move-related activities going on these days.

Hi Tara!

I'm glad to hear that everything went well with your furnace & duct cleaning service, however, I can certainly understand your frustration at the number of telephone calls that were involved. I'm passing this information on to our customer service team to look into why our dispatcher made so many calls on the day of your appointment. Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback and help us to improve!

Best Regards,

Furnace Cleaning

The technicians are friendly when they're in your house to do their job. They answered all questions and kept the house tidy while doing their job. Price wise, this company is not competitive and seem to overcharge their clients. The quotes on the phone differ from what's advertised on social media, a little frustrating... The customer service representative on the phone was rude and her attitude was not appreciated. She was not organized and messed up the home address twice. Would recommend company to call their own line to see how their staff treat customers on the telephone to help improve customer experiences.

Dear Sir or Ma'am,
Let me first apologize for your experience with our call centre. We record all of our customer service calls and audit a large number every week for training and to ensure quality service, and we take customer service complaints about our staff very seriously. In order to make sure we can address your concerns with the right person or people involved, we would appreciate if you would telephone our office at 780-455-2881 and ask to speak with our manager Matt.

In regards to our pricing, we strive to be consistent. We actually do not have an active social media presence, so again, if you can contact us with details of your concern, we would like to correct this. We do our best to explain our pricing structure on the phone, and it is based on the specific number of vents and furnaces in your home, so it's hard to be exact unless you have full information available when you call to book.

Thank you for taking your time to provide feedback, and we hope to hear from you directly to resolve your concerns.

Best Regards
Holly Jones

Furnace Cleaning

I'm a bit sheepish, I was a customer for a number of years but last year decided to go with a Groupon offer with another company (to save money, I thought!). Mistake. The other company was a complete rip off, the price was double what the Groupon had quoted, and the service was terrible - downright arrogant. I used Alberta Furnace Cleaning for years and took their quality of service and fair pricing for granted, but I won't do that again. I'll be calling them next time!

Alberta Furnace Cleaning

Just had them in to do our ducts. No complaint about the work but after using this company previously the technicians found extra ducts that on previous occasions weren't found. Huh ? Thus the quoted price went up considerably. They then tried to shill a 149.00 filter. Insult to injury. I also objected to being called at 7:15AM in the morning when they old told us they'd call at 8:00AM.

Mr. Wright, I am very sorry for your experience. I am looking into the situation with the ducts right now and if we charged for any vents we should not have I would like to refund your money for them. Additionally, all of you telephone calls are recorded and I am going to ensure your phone calls are audited and put the agent(s) you spoke with in for some re-training. Your happiness is of utmost importance to us and I would like to speak with you about the situation. I can be reached directly at 587-881-1315.

Furnace Cleaning

We had AFC come to our house on June 1 to clean our furnace. The crew arrived on time, were polite and clean, and appeared to do a good job. Unfortunately, something they did inside our furnace disabled our electronic humidifier. I noticed the problem several days later when the humidity in the house had fallen significantly.

The lady who took my complaint at AFC was completely unsympathetic to my problem, stating that their "policy" was to put me at the first open slot for someone to come and see about the problem. The lady must have used the word "policy" at least 10 times in our brief conversation, as if I should change my expectations because--by gosh--there was a "policy" to follow.

Eventually (days later) someone came and repaired the issue which was a wire they had jiggled loose inside the furnace. The repair technician claimed it was a "dirty connection," but since our humidifier is less than 5 months old, this was ridiculous.

I am pleased with the furnace cleaning and satisfied that the company repaired the damage that was done. I am not impressed at all with the attitude of the people at headquarters in dealing with complaints. If you should have a problem, I wish you luck.

Mr. Harms, I am very sorry for the poor customer service that you experienced. I will ensure that additional training takes place for the agent who handled your concern so that something like this doesn't happen to anyone else in the future. I will also be contacting you to ensure that everything is completely resolved with your concern.

Furnace, Duct and Dryer Vent Cleaning

We had our furnace/ducts/dryer vent cleaned on Saturday morning (June 1st, 2103). The technicians arrived within the window of 8 & 9 am and were courteous and appeared efficient. They did forget to clean the dryer vent and did a quick (not sure how thorough!) clean when we reminded them.
The cost was more than $600, which was substantially more than we anticipated, and we would have appreciated the technician confirming the final price before starting the work. But we are always willing to pay for a job well done and paid in full.
However, we returned home Saturday evening and found the furnace fan running constantly. There is no emergency contact information on the Alberta Furnace documentation or website, so we tried turning off the thermostat, but the fan continued running.
Early this morning my husband called AB Furnace to report the problem and request a follow-up service call. The woman that took his call was very rude and extremely unprofessional. She said she was “in the business a long time” and the fan isn’t a problem. She refused to even consider our request to expedite a service call or accommodate our schedule. She became so rude that my husband was forced to end the call.
The fact is that the fan has never been an issue prior to the visit from Alberta Furnace, and with the cooler weather over the weekend having the fan running was far less than ideal. We have now turned off the furnace main switch to stop the fan from running.
We are very disappointed by the absolute lack of customer service displayed by the person that answered our call this morning. At the very least this issue should be a priority as it resulted from work done by Alberta Furnace.
I will have to call Alberta Furnace once again this morning to arrange for a service call, and hope that they will live up to their website which promises: “From your first telephone call or e-mail to our post-service follow up, Alberta Furnace Cleaning people will work hard to make sure that your furnace cleaning experience is easy, convenient and tailored to fit your busy schedule.”

What could this company do to improve their services?
Confirm final price before commencing work. Accept that homeowners concerns are valid, and treat customers with dignity.
