12/18. New install 2 days ago. There had been many issues over past 7.5 months. Now - new furnace, coils, humidifier. John improved the return ducts, increasing grill size, reducing their noise level. The furnace originally installed may have been the wrong model furnace for my home & my preferences, it was very poorly installed (about 10 subsequent service visits), and the furnace turned out to be defective. I have to give Coffman credit. Anyone can have a bad employee, or install a furnace that has defects. I had to be quite persistent, but they stood by their commitment to the customer and made it right, including extending the service contract. However, I have already found some issues with the new install. Very frustrating. Hopefully some more adjustments by Coffman will get this review to 4 stars. 1/7/23 edit : Yes. Subsequent visit helped.
12/14/22 After additional communication with Traci, just had co-gm John here at my house to evaluate the situation. Finally someone found the gas leak I had been complaining about, that multiple Coffman people couldn't find, and said was fine. John also agreed that some other things were not great. We agreed on a plan going forward. I didn't get everything I would have liked, but it is a reasonable plan. Will update this review again after the plan is implemented (includes installation of a new furnace). John also says Coffman will pro-actively work with other folks that had the guy that did bad installs.
12/10/22 update. Jake did 7-8 fixes on 12/8. He did not do the full evaluation that I had requested from Traci, only fixed some of the known issues. Since a couple of replacement parts were needed, he also scheduled someone else that replaced 2 more things on 12/9.
Issue : Not a full evaluation of a bad install by an known incompetent, and since fired, employee. What happens a year from now, or 5 years from now, as other problems pop-up ? We are no where near sufficient remediation. At a minimum, I need payment for damage done to my home, plus free maintenance on this system forever. And what about other victims of this bad installer ? From the many techs that have been to my home in the past 6 months, I hear that Coffman has responded to service calls from some of those folks and done some fixes, but has not pro-actively reached out to all those customers, and evaluated and repaired/replaced their systems. To me that seems like a very poor business decision - maximizing profits and endangering customers.
