Premiere Mechanical Systems was sent by my home warranty company to diagnose poor performance by one of my two heat pump systems. It has been taking many hours to cool, not removing humidity, and can't maintain or regulate temp during the day. This hasn't been a problem in the past. Initial interaction was a call to set up an appointment - no problem and we scheduled 9:30-10:30 on the following Monday. On the morning of the appointment he called saying he forgot what time the appointment was and also lost my address. He handed the phone to his assistant and she took down my address and asked if I wanted to schedule an appointment. NO, I want you to come out right now for the appointment we already had scheduled.
So they eventually show up and take a look at the heat pump unit outside. They never removed the cover. He hooked up his gauges and said it was low on R-22 then sent the assistant inside to check the temp coming out of the vents. It was 9-10deg below the current room temp. He said it should be 12-15deg below and proceeded to hook up a tank outside and I assumed add R-22. This all seemed reasonable enough to me although I would have thought he would have at least inspected the condenser coil and wanted to see the air handler inside. They never even went close to the air handler. he gave me his card and seemed to suggest I let him know if there were any further problems. After 6 hours and no improvement in the cooling performance I was convinced that the problem wasn't fixed and sent him an email asking what the next step of the diagnosis process was. He said Ask your warranty company to supply another contractor for a second opinion. He clearly couldn't care less about fixing the problem. I then asked how many pounds of R-22 he added and his response was no pounds. So he didn't do anything, lied about charging the system, and now wants nothing to do with me after getting my $. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
