HVACi - HVAC Investigators

[BNME8EZ]

I got involved with them for a while, got screwed over 1 to many times. They would take the bill and chop it up, knock off what they didn't want to pay and give you part of the pay for the services you did. You could not promote your own company, and you had to give them repair/replace prices but only for the issue, could not include what caused the issue. For example, HO claims lightening, the compressor is stuck - no electrical damage on anything, bad duct. Had to price compressor replacement or system replacement but couldn't include fixing the duct work.

I had one this summer where the customer claimed hail damage. The coil had hail damage, mostly old, but it also had a leak on the bottom tube of a side with no dings in the fins so hail didn't cause the issue with his unit. The HO had me replace it and take the unit to my shop so his insurance Co could look at it. They sent out a guy with HVACi, he had to drive over 100 miles to get here.. What a moron. I showed him where the leak was and you could see the oil stain. The HO still got over $4k out of a 12 year old heat pump.

I have done work for them little over a year and for the most part worked out for me. You are not gonna get rich off of it but it is steady all year. I have gotten 2 referrals off of them and they paid good money. I try not to travel too far for them cause there goes your money. It is a lot of crooks out here and claim damage. It is necessary I feel. I had one company that’s all they do is claim lighting/surge damage. I have found just failed capacitors and contactors to just low on Freon. I love that companies like these exist to catch the bad guys.

You are wise my friend to decline further work for them. We done several local jobs for them with no problems. Then they wanted us to go over 100 mile away, they have not payed or call us since. We also refuse to work for anyone out of town wanting us to sub for them. Our experience is they are RIP OFFS!
Good luck to you!
