Ellingson Plumbing, Heating, A/C & Electrical

I am rejecting this response because:Technician never advised replacing the furnaceFurnace was only years oldTechnician should have checked that heat exchanger first which he never didTechnician did suggest replacing the motor and possibly the motherboardHe did replace the motor but left it to run constantly which was a little cheaper then replacing it with the correct motorThe motherboard was ok. If I had listened to their technician, I would have been gassed to death in this house from the cracked heat exchangerDefinitely would never have another Trane furnace or Ellingson to ever work here againTheir technicians are poorly if at all ever trained

repair restoring heat to the home. The technician observed the operation of the furnace and did not see any indicators to believe other issues exist. The cracked heat exchanger was found after the furnace was removed. The furnace continued to operate for 11 days before the homeowner had it replaced.  A letter of response has been sent to the homeowner. The homeowner was not charged for the repair parts. Ellingsons cannot resell or return the blower motor and bears the full cost of the item. Ellingsons provided a value to the homeowner on a Saturday when others are not available. Ellingsons had the parts in stock and restored heat to the home on the same day providing comfort to the occupant(s) and preventing damage to the home. Our recommendation was not to repair the furnace. The homeowner chose to do so and was billed for 4-1/4 hours of labor at the weekend rate. Ellingsons takes the health, safety, and comfort of all customers seriously. Company practices have been reviewed and a decision made to purchase additional equipment to help each technician identify conditions not readily visible to the naked eye.
