Great service, Julio is a great tech! This summer our AC has been struggling to keep up and can't maintain temps after 9am. Our power bill is higher than last year and we called in different company at the behest of our landlord. I'll call them Company A. Company A basically said the unit runs great, the temp split is ok and all is as expected. They claimed nothing was wrong; no explanation for our issues other than APS increased their rates, as if we don't know how to compare usage and performance one summer from the next. And as if increasing temps in the early morning is totally normal. We called in TemperaturePro for a second opinion and thank goodness we did. Julio identified that our compressor was running at its max. The AC unit being 17yrs old is still technically running within spec, but with the compressor running at such high amps, it's probably on its last legs. He didn't try to sell me a new unit, just gave me a heads up which I appreciate, and a reasonable explanation for my issues. Additionally, if the landlord is looking at a major purchase in the next couple years, I imagine he'd appreciate a heads up too. Julio also discovered that we had a clogged drain and the drain pan had filled to the point the water was draining from the emergency drain. The first company missed it and we were in danger of water damage in our ceiling. TemperaturePro just saved our bacon. Julio also found some air leaks in our main vent which he sealed.
After receiving the invoice/pics from TemperaturePro, I had a conversation with the owner from Company A. He reviewed the notes from his techs and compared against TemperaturePro's. He basically confirmed that TempPro was right and the reason why Company A didn't tell me about the compressor was because they got accused of upselling in the past and had been in hot water. While I understand where they were coming from, I want a company who will give me the facts, not to insulate me from information just so they don't get perceived as selling something. Honesty and transparency is what I want, and I got that from TempPro. I really don't care what the motive behind Company A's withholding the full story was, I am entitled to know the facts. Company A's tech also claimed they topped off our coolant and told our landlord the same thing, but they didn't make any notes on our account nor was anyone charged, so the owner wasn't thrilled to hear that. The owner from Company A also apologized for missing the plugged drain, said they usually only check that during a (paid) routine maintenance session. However, Julio said when compromised performance is a complaint, checking things like drains are on his checklist to look at, even in an initial inspection.
Bottom line, TemperaturePro I trust. Julio obviously knew his stuff and gave me the facts without any sales pitch. He was incredibly thorough and professional and showed us what he found throughout the inspection. When our AC finally fails, they'll be the ones I'll call. Thanks Julio!!
