I am rejecting this response because: I agree with what Atlas Butler stated happened, however, it does address the fact that they or their tech was dishonest with me and made me feel like I had to purchase a new system, when it was not necessary, therefore, since they were dishonest, and I have read that this not the first time they have done this to other customers , I do not want them back to my home, and do not want to do business with them at all, I simply want my money back as I stated in my original message. This is unacceptable behavior and they need to be held accountable for the actions of their employees.

It is factually inaccurate. There are falsehoods big and small, relevant and irrelevant in nearly every sentence. I pulled my phone records to substantiate some of the false statements and will be attaching those records. The factual inaccuracy in the first sentence is merely that I called a little earlier than reported. It's not relevant but it does start the pattern. In the second sentence, Mr. E[redacted] did not arrive at 7:45. I was actually on the phone with Atlas Butler at 7:45 as they were trying to track Mr. E[redacted] down for me. That call ended at 7:49. Mr. E[redacted] pulled up to the curb at 8:00 on the dot and took until 8:02 to get to the door. It's easy to remember because Atlas Butler says that, if the technician doesn't arrive within the service window, then the service charge is free. I didn't say anything (to him or the company) because he was close and I didn't want to get him into any trouble. The third sentence may be accurate. I don't remember that level of detail but Mr. E[redacted] did state that there were a variety of things wrong with the AC unit. The fourth sentence is where the relevant inaccuracies begin. Mr. E[redacted] made three recommendations, one of which he inaccurately captured in his report and the other two he completely omitted. First and foremost, his primary recommendation was that I replace the contactor! He didn't just recommend it. He sold me on it! He told me how it would allow me to have a cool night and get some sleep and have some time to think about whether I wanted to replace the unit rather than me having to make a snap decision while I was hot and tired. He told me that, if I did decide in the future to replace, that I'd get the cost of the repair credited back so it was basically like getting a free repair and there was no reason not to do it. He said that his repair may hold "for as little as a couple of weeks" but that would give me plenty of time to make my decision and that, if I did decide to go with Atlas Butler and wanted the credit for the repair, I needed to decide within a week. He said that the repair would work. He never gave the slightest indication that it might not. If he had, I wouldn't have had him do it. He never mentioned that his "repair" could, in addition to not actually fixing anything, cause the line to freeze and make a mess of water in my basement. If he had, I wouldn't have had him do it. I also followed Mr. E[redacted]'s second recommendation. That recommendation was that I should think about replacing the furnace, even though it was working fine. He told me that I was in danger of a combustible gas leak at any time from the furnace. I did think about it, as Mr. E[redacted] recommended, had the furnace replaced within a week, just not by Atlas Butler. As with his first recommendation, Mr. E[redacted]'s second recommendation appears nowhere in his brief report. With Mr. E[redacted]'s third recommendation, the truth is stretched in both the brief report and in Atlas Butler's response to the Revdex.com. Mr. E[redacted] recommended that I think about replacing the unit over the next few weeks. He expressly recommended that I should not make that decision that night. His words were "that's a decision for when you're cool and rested rather than hot and tired." I followed all three of Mr. E[redacted]'s recommendations to the letter. I let him replace the contactor so my AC would be fixed for at least two weeks as he promised (of course, it didn't fix it at all). And, when I was cool and rested, I thought about replacing the AC and the furnace and decided to do so. I was going to have Atlas Butler replace them but not after what happened on 8/3.When I got home from work on 8/3, the temperature in my house was exactly the same as it was when I called Atlas Butler on 8/2. My house hadn't cooled a single degree. That's why I called. I didn't call because my AC had "iced up" as Atlas Butler says. I had no idea that it had iced up. I am not an AC repairman! But I can tell when it's hot. When I called, I told the call center representative, John, that Mr. E[redacted] had told me that replacing the contactor would fix the AC but it didn't so I wanted either someone to fix it or my money back. That was my first request for a refund, not on 8/10 as Atlas Butler falsely reports. Mr. H[redacted] called me before he arrived and told me that, based on what he read in Mr. E[redacted]'s report, he thought the unit should be replaced. I told Mr. H[redacted] on that call that Mr. E[redacted] had told me that his fix would work and that's why I did it so I wanted the AC either fixed or my money back. That was my second request. Mr. H[redacted] came out, told me the line had iced, and recommended replacement. I told him that I would follow that recommendation (which I did) but I didn't know that I wanted to do it with Atlas Butler after Mr. E[redacted] sold me on replacing the contactor and then it didn't actually fix my AC as promised. Mr. H[redacted] replied that he couldn't say what Mr. E[redacted] said or didn't say (which was understandable). After Mr. H[redacted] left, I actually had to call him to find out where in my basement this iced line he talked about was. Once again, I am not an AC repairman! Atlas Butler's position that I or any customer listens to their technician's recommendations and then tells them to do something else because they know better, is simply preposterous. It's simply a dishonest position so that they have an excuse to take your money when the failed to do what you paid them to do. I then called Atlas Butler and spoke with John again and asked for a refund a third time. John must have said at least a half dozen times that these things happen, sometimes the technician thinks a fix will work and it doesn't, and when that happens Atlas Butler makes things right and that someone would be calling me. At that point in time, I expected to get a call shortly after from someone higher up who would apologize, refund my money, and who I would then set up to buy an AC unit and furnace from.At 10:15 the next morning (8/4), I called Atlas Butler again. I spoke with a woman. I told her again what Mr. E[redacted] told me, how the fix he promised failed to actually fix anything (and resulted in water in my basement instead when the frozen line thawed), and that I wanted a refund for the fourth time. She told me that someone higher up would call me shortly. Nobody did. On 8/10, I called and went through my story again and requested a refund for the fifth time. [I just noticed the 30 minute time limit. I hope this goes through and I get the opportunity to provide additional information. There are a lot more issues with this company.]
Base on the technicians diagnostics the unit had melted wiring and a damaged contactor. Based on the type of repair needed the unit would not be operable to further perform diagnostics until the initial issue was resolved. After the technician made the repair and was able to further diagnose unit the technician found that the unit had multiple issues. The remaining issues the A/C had can not be detected without the unit running, therefore the initial repair of the contactor and burnt wiring had to be performed to perform a full diagnostic of the equipment. The other issues found where properly conveyed to the client per tech notes and signed receipt. Based on the proper recommendations that were made and the client being advised of the issues and choosing not to proceed any further with the repairs or replacement we will not be issuing a refund.

Robert [redacted] spoke with our customer service representative [redacted] on 4/18/14 at 2:34pm requesting to have the club membership transferred from his previous address to his new address [redacted].. Mr. [redacted] provided his routing and checking account number to sign up via phone for the Deluxe Club Membership having $18.25 deducted from his checking account monthly. We completed the maintenance on his air conditioner on 4/24/14 and his furnace on 10/23/14. Our certified technician [redacted] recommended to replace the capacitor and Mr. [redacted] accepted on 10/23/14. Mr. [redacted] called our office the next day demanding to have capacitor removed claims the price was to high. Our certified technician [redacted] returned 10/24/14 removed the part and asked Mr. [redacted] for the old part to re-install Mr. [redacted] handed him a new capacitor he had purchased else where and wanted our technician to put it on. Our technician advised him we cannot install parts other than parts we sell as our parts are covered under warranty. Mr. [redacted] called in to cancel his membership I advised him he had $458 in discounts and made 6 payments of $18.25 for a total of $109.50 leaving a balance due of $91.25 or he could continue monthly payments until 3/15/15 to full fill his contractual obligation. I have attached a copy of the invoice and the recorded conversation in which Mr. [redacted] gave verbal authorization to withdraw payments . Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
I am rejecting this response because:First of all, on my question, Chris called me and apologies that he misunderstood and forget to leave the old parts and told me that his supervisor may compensate for this mistake but nobody try to do this. They have said that they have proof of this installation so month and half ago I have requested to send me the proof but they did not even bother to reply me that is why I contact Revdex.com.Secondly, other competitive companies do the same job for less that $200 and they did say “Satisfaction is guaranteed” but they did not even try to satisfy me because they have overcharge me. Finally, I have mistrust and very disappointed from Atlas, so that is why I have requested to cancel my program. I will request Revdex.com to look into this matter and decide further, because they charge me $570 for the job other companies do less than $200 and now this program cost me $240 more... I cannot afford this. Revdex.com please see customers comments on their website and you will find 80% customer have complaint of overcharging.

[redacted] advised Ms. [redacted] on 11/30/16 he would speak with [redacted]'s manager to determine if he could discount the price of the repairs as Ms. [redacted] was already receiving a discount of 20% $1019 to $817 a benefit of having a maintenance contract. [redacted] spoke with his manager [redacted] who agreed to reduce the price only charging for the motor $817 waving the cost of the diagnostic and blower wheel out of good faith.

Atlas Butlers Residential Field Manager Lee M[redacted] has spoke with Mrs. [redacted]'s daughter and granddaughter [redacted] on at least two occasions offering to comeback out at no charge to re-evaluate the system. I have reviewed this complaint with Lee M[redacted] he has agreed that he...
will gladly refund 100% of the call if our technician was not correct with his diagnosis as long as Mr. M[redacted] can inspect and confirm the condition of the heat exchanger with a camera. In the event the technician was wrong we want to know so that doesn't happen to any other clients.

It is my contention that Atlas Butler sold me a gurantee on the OLD furnace! I thought it was a strange coincidence that my old furnace , which was working fine Would break down shortly after Atlas Butler supposedly Tuned it up... When I called AB back as soon as the furnace died I specifically asked that a different tech come out .. But the women From AB said he had to come out Cause that was his territory!!! Well he wasn't with my furnace 5 min before he told me it was dead. What was I supposed to do Then ?? I had to have heat so I took their advice to get a new one. However when you see the Agreement they sold me .. It was on the OLD furnace .. Which they Promptly removed... All I have is That service agreement.. Says if Not 100per cent satisfied I don't pay!!! Well I wasn't satisfied with What happened with my old furnace so according to their agreement I feel I should not Have to pay for the only solution A new furnace Sincerely [redacted]I reread what Atlas Butler said in their response .. Please note that they said nothing of my old furnace or the agreement I had on it which I read that as long as I let THEM Service it and as long as I did not Mess with it , I would not have to pay!
Jan. 21, 2017Dear [redacted],Upon your reply I noticed you said [redacted] diagnoses found a broken leg on motor due to wheel being out of balance.This started back on 1/29/16 when technician had problems putting blower wheel back together - several times. Thus our phone call to Atlas Butler. We now had vibration noise from the technician who dropped our blower wheel causing it to be out of balance during his cleaning leading to the cause of the broken leg on motor on 10/17/16. Richard found blocks of wood under blower wheel housing that the other technician used to reduce the noise and said our unit didn't need to be taken apart, but he did notice the noise. [redacted] never took our unit apart!With what happened I never should have paid 817.00 due to the incident on 1/29/16 and making that clear to Atlas Butler with our phone call. We should be refunded.Respectfully,Mr. [redacted]

will gladly refund 100% of the call if our technician was not correct with his diagnosis as long as Mr. M[redacted] can inspect and confirm the condition of the heat exchanger with a camera.

I have attached a copy of the maintenance agreement that [redacted] voluntary signed up on 5/10/16 and the invoice for work completed. The maintenance was completed on the furnace and the air-conditioner on this date.

It is my contention that Atlas Butler sold me a gurantee on the OLD furnace! I thought it was a strange coincidence that my old furnace , which was working fine Would break down shortly after Atlas Butler supposedly Tuned it up... When I called AB back as soon as the furnace died I specifically asked that a different tech come out .. But the women From AB said he had to come out Cause that was his territory!!! Well he wasn't with my furnace 5 min before he told me it was dead. What was I supposed to do Then ?? I had to have heat so I took their advice to get a new one. However when you see the Agreement they sold me .. It was on the OLD furnace .. Which they Promptly removed... All I have is That service agreement.. Says if Not 100per cent satisfied I don't pay!!! Well I wasn't satisfied with What happened with my old furnace so according to their agreement I feel I should not Have to pay for the only solution A new furnace Sincerely [redacted]I reread what Atlas Butler said in their response .. Please note that they said nothing of my old furnace or the agreement I had on it which I read that as long as I let THEM Service it and as long as I did not Mess with it , I would not have to pay!
Jan. 21, 2017Dear [redacted],Upon your reply I noticed you said [redacted] diagnoses found a broken leg on motor due to wheel being out of balance.This started back on 1/29/16 when technician had problems putting blower wheel back together - several times. Thus our phone call to Atlas Butler. We now had vibration noise from the technician who dropped our blower wheel causing it to be out of balance during his cleaning leading to the cause of the broken leg on motor on 10/17/16. Richard found blocks of wood under blower wheel housing that the other technician used to reduce the noise and said our unit didn't need to be taken apart, but he did notice the noise. [redacted] never took our unit apart!With what happened I never should have paid 817.00 due to the incident on 1/29/16 and making that clear to Atlas Butler with our phone call. We should be refunded.Respectfully,Mr. [redacted]
