Hi Roberto. I'm sorry to hear you feel you didn't get a good value for your money. I do understand your frustration, but when our technician arrived your furnace was fully operational and there was no problem for him to diagnose.
The $199 you paid is our service call rate for weekend/holiday service to have a technician drive out to your home to repair your furnace. He did arrive within 2 hours of your call on the Sunday of the Family Day long weekend.
The reason your furnace failed was because snow had blocked your intake/exhaust, but you had cleared it already by the time he arrived. He checked your furnace, but saw no reason to be concerned it would fail again. The other issues he pointed out had nothing to do with why your furnace failed, but were just some things he noticed during his inspection.
If the furnace did fail again, or in the case of an intermittent problem, we would obviously come back out to fix the issue since it was not possible to diagnose on the first visit.
Performing tests such as Delta T measurements are part of having your furnace maintained/tuned up, and are not part of the diagnostic procedure. This is why we offered you a credit towards a furnace maintenance since you seemed to want a detailed analysis on the condition of your furnace. These maintenance and tune up appointments are scheduled ahead of time to allow the technician to take the required time to perform all the tests and tune up procedures.
Weekend and holiday service is reserved for emergency service calls. If your furnace was not operational our technician would have stayed at your home as long as it takes to give you and your family heat.
It simply wouldn't be fair to other customers who are waiting without heat if he remained at your home to perform non emergency maintenance tasks while they are waiting in the cold.
As you said, we did reach out when we heard you were unhappy, and our offer still stands if you'd like to have a complete maintenance and tune up for your furnace as we would like to do our best to make you happy.
If there is anything we can do to make you happy in this matter, please do call us and let us know. We will do all we can, within reason, to make you feel satisfied with our company.
Thank you for choosing Furnace King, and I hope we can find a way to satisfy you. Sincerely, Anthony Damiani.
