New York AirConditioner
I contacted Atlas Care to install an Air Conditioner Unit at my residence. Mr. Jeff was the person who supervised all the services carried out at my place. They gave me a good deal which included:
1. York Air Conditioner 13 Seer
2. 1 Year Satisfaction Guarantee on the Unit
3. 10 Year Parts & Labor
4. 2 Years Advantage Plan on my Furnace & AirConditioner
Everything went smooth on the installation & I want to give credit where it's due. The people carrying out all the Installations were really professional at what they do.
The 1st problem came after 2 days when the A/C didn't even cool the house. The Technician came in and found out that they forgot to adjust the fan speed on the Air Handler.
During this time I noticed that the final agreement didn't even mention the 2 Year Advantage Protection Plan anywhere, however it was on the Quotation. I called Jeff, he picked up and said he will look into it and contact me first thing in the morning. I never got a call again.
Now comes the big part (2nd Problem). The A/C started making these sparks, I called AtlasCare and they told me to turn it off on a really hot day of July. The next day the technician shows up and he finds out that the chipboard (or chipset) has gone bad and they will order a new one. I told them that I was on the Advantage Plan and I am at least covered for 700 bucks to whatever the cost is. This is where it got really messy. AtlasCare told me that I was never on the plan and it's a mistake on my part. I have to pay for the part on full or they cancel the order. I demanded to talk to somebody senior. He told me that we dont give protection plans on anything not purchased from us.
I was really angry the way I was treated. I called Jeff and he assured me that I was on the plan and he will solve the problem. 3 days later, AtlasCare told me that the part has come in and the technician will come in the following day. I was kept in dark all this time whether I still got my protection plan or not, as Jeff didn't call me back. The good news was that I was on the protection plan and they did deduct 700$ out on the part, the bad news was that they said it's only for 1 year.
I have called Jeff 3 times since then and asked him to please look into this matter and send me a copy of the agreement. I never got the call back. No follow-up on the old customer calls. Let's get some new people in. I still don't what happened of my request.
I did get a call 3 days ago for the tune up as winter is coming up. All I would say is always make sure you read the whole agreement and merely not depend on words. I would still recommend AtlasCare but I am giving it a rating of 6 because of the problems I had to see.
