Hello, the service valves were under warranty from the manufacturer but the manufacturer doesn't cover the refrigerant or the labour or the leak test after one year.
The part was provided free, and you only paid for the refrigerant, the leak test, the nitrogen, and the labour to install plus HST.
Your number is a bit exaggerated as well, But I understand your frustration.
This was not caused by the installation it was simply a defective part that leaked over the last winter.
That's why there's a charge.
This is also why we encourage people to join the extended labour program which would've covered all of this. You were offered that program but declined it.
Thank you
Marnie Amodeo
