      We had our annual inspection on 15 Aug 2024; we have had ******* Air (bought this year by DelAir) do the cleaning for the last five years since the house was built. This year they found black mold around the blower. We were told it was because the previous person did not do what he was supposed to do and was fired. The price jumped from ~$189 to ~$234. I am concerned about black mold being in the duct work. I want someone to inspect/clean all the ductwork at no cost to us. I also feel we should get a refund for the work that was not done previously. I have called and left at least three messages for the service manager to call me to discuss. He is either "...not in today..." or "...in a meeting..." . I have been unable to get any response from the company. I believe we are locked in to this company due to the house being new construction and they installed the unit. By going with them, the warranty was extended five years.

      Account name is under ******** ****/ Service address is ***************************************/ Phone Number is ************ or ************ We paid in full for a new ac unit on June 6 ***** and it was installed and it was recommended that we stay with a 4 ton unit and not go up in size and ever since it has been installed, we have had nothing but issues. We have contacted Del Air numerous times and they have came out to try to fix the problem six times. After the 6th time on June 25 2024, we called another ac company to get a second opinion and right away said that the reason why we were having these problems was due to needing a bigger size unit. Called Del Air right after they left to speak with a manager and all they could do was send an email and we did not get a call back. Called again on June 27 and June 28. Still didn't get a call back. On July 1 General Manager *** called and left a message to call him back at an extension. Tried to do that almost immediately afterwards and there is no way to dial an extension, it goes straight to the call center. They sent an email for *** to call us back and he never did. We have called numerous times to get ahold of *** and he has never called us back. Our house was getting over 80 degrees inside, ac was running non stop,our electric bill was high, you could smell moisture in our home coming through the vents and we were all getting sick. Could not wait any longer, we were worried that mold was growing from all the condensation, so we had to get another ac company to come install the correct size unit for our house and come out of pocket again for a new unit. While they were installing the new duct work, they said that the duct work that Del air installed was wrong. We WANT Del Air to come get their unit and we want a full refund for this unit that wasn't the correct size for our house. This is a horrible nightmare and feel like we were scammed out of $15,660.

      I want to inform you that ***** visited your property today and found a gap in the ductwork behind the air handler, which he has since sealed. We have documented the repair with photos, which I will be happy to share with you.
      I understand that you have experienced significant issues with your system, and I am truly sorry for the inconvenience and frustration this has caused. I will follow up with you on Monday to discuss your situation further and to ensure we address all of your concerns.
      Thank you for your understanding, and we are committed to resolving this matter to your satisfaction.

      I am rejecting this response because: As stated in my original  complaint we had to call another ac company to install the correct size ac unit and duct work. Del Airs unit is NOT connected  to my house and is sitting off to the side on the ground. I would like to see pictures because  I was not notified  about someone  coming to my property to work on anything.  Also general manager  *** called on Friday the 16th and he is supposed to be calling back with a refund amount and to schedule  a day for someone to come pick up the ac unit that is NOT connected to our house.

      Complaint: 22138472

      I am rejecting this response because: I have not received a call back from *** since I last spoke to him on 8-16-24. On Friday August 30 2024 Del Air showed up and stated that they were here to pick up the ac unit but we were not made aware of this and there was still no mention of a refund amount at that time. The Del Air worker called his boss ******* (installer manager) to ask about our situation and ******* stated he was not made aware we did not know they were coming. ******* said he would call his boss about this and call me back. ******* did call me back shortly after and told me that they were going to send me a refund check and to call him (*******) when I received the check in the mail and he will schedule a day to pick up for the unit. I still have not received the refund check in the mail as of September 11 2024.

      I am rejecting this response because: I still have not received  any updates or the refund check in the mail. This is very frustrating  that the refund check was supposedly going to get sent out on August 30th but still  have not received  it yet as of October 8 2024. The next step i guess will be to seek out legal counsel since this still isn't resolved.

      They installed our new AC units and the piping was done incorrectly and the furnace was installed incorrectly. The condensation has destroyed the ceiling in my basement. They came out twice and I keep calling to see when they are going to repair it and they won't call me back and won't fix the issues. My basement floods every day. My AC unit is 1 yr old and I have to use a shop vac every day to **** out the condensation to avoid my basement being flooded, furthering ruin of my celling. I am just being ignored so I guess I will have to speak with my lawyer on the next steps. Or maybe I will call channel 9 maybe they will help me. We will see. Wish me luck

      We are currently involved in a legal process regarding this matter, and our attorneys are managing the situation. As a result, I have limited information and am unable to address the issue in detail at this time. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.
      It is important to note that the customer did not perform any maintenance on the newly installed unit, and our last visit to their home was over a year and a half ago. Despite the lack of maintenance, the customer is expressing dissatisfaction publicly. We are actively monitoring the situation and will provide updates as appropriate.
      Thank you for your patience and understanding.

      I am rejecting this response because: We are not in legal process at all, if they keep ignoring me then I will have no choice but to take them to court. We have done mainitance on the brand new 1.5 yr old ** units and we have to **** out condensation daily to prevent flooding in the basement. They just ignore me and do nothing to help me. They sent out two people and refuse to fix the damages they caused and the problem still having daily. It has to be fixed no brand new ** unit should be leaking so much condensation. The problem is the ** units are not up to code and leaking all the condesation into the celing of the basement and they are refusing to call me back or answer my emails or fix the problem.

      I finally was able to contact someone named **** with Del Air Melbourne office I sent the pictures of the damages and he said we are not going to help you with this because my AC's are 16 months old and I never got them serviced. WELL, WHAT DID THEY COME OUT FOR THE LAST 3 TIMES? This complaint is not closed. I have a 10-year warranty and I have been trying to get help with this for about 9 months (once I finally learned where the problem was) and they flat out said they will not help me.

      Thank you for reaching out, and I sincerely apologize for the ongoing frustrations youve experienced with your AC system. I want to assure you that we take your concerns seriously and are committed to finding a resolution.

We were able to clear the drain line at no cost to you, and the issue was resolved at that time. I understand you may still have concerns, especially regarding the past visits and the service under your 10-year warranty.
      We want to address this in a way that satisfies you and ensures your system is functioning as it should. Could you please let us know what you feel would be a fair resolution moving forward? Your feedback will help us take the next steps to get this resolved.

      I am rejecting this response because: You keep saying you will fix it and you act like you care but I cannot get phone calls or emails returned. I spoke with **** and he said you will not do anything for me. It is a year old and damaged my ceiling in the basement due to being clogged. It was not installed correctly it should not be clogged after a years use. However, we have been sucking the sludge out and it was maintained. They cannot maintain the furnace it was installed wrongly and is not openable. YOU SHOULD STOP ACTING LIKE YOU CARE. You should stop giving false hope to a customer that spent $32K on 2 AC units that you are a decent company and plan on fixing this issue. You have been out 3 times and done nothing. I have called in and emailed asking for a copy of my contract and you refuse to give it to me.... Why is this?

      Dear BBB Representative,
      We would like to address the complaint submitted by Ms. **** **** regarding the issues she has faced with her **** system, specifically regarding the drain line clog that resulted in damage to her ceiling and floor.
      Firstly, we truly regret the situation Ms. **** has experienced, and we empathize with the frustration this has caused. We always strive to provide exceptional service and ensure our customers feel supported in resolving any challenges. However, after reviewing this case in detail, it is important to clarify that the root cause of the problem is a lack of regular maintenance, which is outlined as a critical component in the customers contract. The **** system, installed several years ago as part of a post-fire rebuild, has not received the proper routine maintenance from Del-Air since the installation. Regular maintenance is essential to prevent issues like clogged drain lines, and unfortunately, the lack of service visits has led to the situation at hand.
      We have made every effort to assist Ms. ***** including visiting her home multiple times, thoroughly inspecting the system, and providing photographic evidence of the issue. Despite our efforts to resolve this matter, the customer has not adhered to the agreed-upon terms of the maintenance contract, placing her in breach of the agreement.
      While we understand Ms. ***** disappointment, Del-Air has exhausted all available resources in an attempt to help, and regrettably, there is no further action we can take without the customers compliance with the maintenance requirements.
      We would like to respectfully request that this complaint, as well as any others related to this case, not be held against Del-Air. We have taken all reasonable steps to address the situation, and the breakdown in this case stems from the customers failure to follow through on maintenance obligations, rather than any negligence or lack of service on our part.
      We sincerely regret the outcome and hope for a fair resolution based on the facts provided.

      Del-Air installed a new AC system in my residence on May 17, 2023. The contract includes a rebate of $925. The sales representative, *************************, advised me the rebate would be received with 90 days of installation. Since installation, I contacted ****************** several times; he confirmed the rebate was due and said he would address the issue, but never responded further. I called the company on July 16, 2024 about another matter and again asked about the rebate. I received a voicemail from **************************** on July 22 stating there was no rebate available at the time of installation and she didn't know who told me there was. I returned the call, but she was out of the office for the day, so I asked for her email address and sent her an email that day with a copy of the contract showing the rebate. I have since heard nothing further.

      I have escalated your complaint to the General Manager of our location to ensure that this issue is resolved promptly.

      I am unsure what action I should take, considering the company's response:

      "I have escalated your complaint to the General Manager of our location to ensure that this issue is resolved promptly. We are committed to addressing your concerns and ensuring that the rebate process is handled correctly. Rest assured, we will thoroughly review your case and take the necessary steps to fulfill the rebate as outlined in your contract."

      Am I receiving the rebate or not?

      My complaint has been "escalated;" they are "committed to addressing my concerns;" they will "thoroughly review my case." What is there to review? The rebate is clearly included in my contract and I have not received it, despite multiple complaints to the company. If they send me a pre-paid card with a balance of $925 or a check in the amount of $925, I will accept that response.

      Today I received a check from Del-Air for $200, which is the difference between the manufacturer rebate received last week in the amount of $725, and the rebate amount of $925 specified in my contract. I am now satisfied with the business response to my complaint and will consider the matter closed.

      I called DEL AIR to fix my A/C. The tech arrived on 6/27. He explained that I needed a new coil and the out-of-pocket cost to me would be $1600.00. He stated that he needed a payment of $800 on the spot to order the part and once the part was received, DEL AIR would return to install and collect the remaining balance of $800 dollars. On 6/28 the charge for $800.00 appeared on my Credit Card statement. Between 7/1/24 and 7/15/24, I called DEL AIR for status updates on the repair a total of 6 times. Every time I called and everyone, I spoke with gave a different reason as to why the repair had not been scheduled. Additionally, at the conclusion of every call I was told someone would call me back to resolve the problem. I was also given the names for general managers *** and ***** and was promised that my situation had been marked for escalation and would hear back from one of them. On 7/15/24 I called DEL AIR for a 7th time to request a refund, spoke with ********* and again I was told someone would get back to me. On 7/16/24, ***** from Del AIR called me left VM to schedule the service repair. I returned the call, and I was scheduled for Friday 7/19/2024 between 8am and 12pm and no technician showed up. I called DEL AIR and was told that I was not on the schedule and was asked, can I reschedule for Monday 7/22/24. I explained to the agent that I am not rescheduling, and I demanded a refund of my initial $800.00. My complaint is that DEL AIR refusing to process my refund of my initial payment of $800.00 that I have requested twice, once on 7/15/24 and again on 7/19/24. On 7/19/24 I was finally contacted by General *********************** told me that the refund will be processed, and a check will be mailed to me in a week. As of 7/29/2024 I have not received my refund check and no communication from ***** the ** of Del AIR.

      We recently purchased our home from the original owners/builders. House was built in 2019 and AC unit was installed by Del-Air. We noticed mold growing on the duct work where the handler is in our garage. We called a technician out and he said that the duct work was not installed properly and not properly sealed resulting in the mold growing on the outside as well as on the inside on the coils. He provided us with a quote of over $5,200 to redo the duct work and clean the coils. I rejected the quote because he had just confirmed that the original job was not completed properly, to which they were paid in full at time of installation. It is their obligation to complete the installation properly. I have made numerous calls to Del-Air trying to resolve this with a supervisor and have not heard back from anyone since my original complaint was taken down. We have small children and a cancer patient in the home and this matter needs addressing immediately.

      The duct work was replaced. They attempted to sell me coil cleanings to remove the mold that grew as a result of their incomplete/inadequate initial installation which left the unit unsealed. I had the coils confirmed as not needing to be cleaned due to no mold being present on the coils, something I should have been told by Delair and not confirmed from someone else. Throughout this process they attempted to upcharge me and take advantage of my lack of AC knowledge (examples: refusing to replace ******** initially, attempting to sell me coil cleanings for $1200 when the coils didnt need cleaning). I had to bring an independent company in to educate me and BBB to ultimately obtain results.  While I ultimately was able to get my issue addressed, I would not say that it is a result of high ethical standards and accountability by this company. Action only occurred as a result of  escalating this issue to the BBB. I would not recommend Delair based on their efforts to capitalize on this situation that they created.

      On 5/31/24, I purchased a new AC Unit system from Del Air for $18,693 through a single credit card transaction. My credit card company, *****, offered a promotional payment plan of 24 months at 0% interest and $0 fees. This, coupled with the monetary value of the credit card points, is why I chose this payment method vs the higher interest rate Del Air financing plans.On 6/13, a partial refund from Del Air settled on the same credit card for $9,366. I called Del Air to inquire about this partial refund on 6/15 and 6/24, and texted the sales *** on 6/21. Both times I called Del Air, I was told the question needed to get escalated to a supervisor, but I never received a call back. The text to the sales *** was never returned.On 7/12, I drove to the Clermont Del Air office to try and get it resolved. There, I spoke to a Customer Experience Liaison, explained the issue and again questioned the partial refund. She documented our conversation and told me I would hear back the following week.On 7/17, I received a call from Del Air. Immediately, I was met with skepticism that the partial refund had even settled on my credit card. Recharging my credit card for the $9,366 will result in beginning a new payment plan since it would be a new and separate transaction, however the original ***** promotional plan of 0% interest and $0 fees no longer exists. I tried explaining this to the agent on the phone, and she eventually became exasperated and told me it was my responsibility to pay Del Air back (which is evident I've been trying to do for the past 6 weeks).Im asking for Del Air to not only fix their mistake but to recover any additional financial burdens this will cause me in fees, interest and/or loss of the monetary value of the credit card points. I have thought of five ways which we can accomplish this. If they accidentally refunded me $50 or $100, recharging my credit card is no issue. But a $9,366 mistake introduces a whole new set of financial implications.

      Thank you for allowing us to clarify the situation regarding the recent complaint from ****** ****
      We acknowledge that Mr. *** experienced confusion about the diagnosis of his air conditioner, and we take such concerns seriously. To address the issue, we provided a credit of $3,319.20 to Mr. **** This credit represents the costs he incurred over a two-year period to pay off his balance with us.
      The credit was issued because our accounting department inadvertently refunded him, affecting the original 0% interest offer he had with his credit card company. By the time we followed up to collect the outstanding balance, the promotional offer had expired.
      We strive to provide transparent and satisfactory solutions for our customers, and we hope this resolution demonstrates our commitment to addressing and resolving any issues. If you have any further questions or require additional information, please feel free to reach out.

      We strive to provide transparent and satisfactory solutions for our customers, and we hope this resolution demonstrates our commitment to addressing and resolving any issues. If you have any further questions or require additional information, please feel free to reach out.
      Best regards,

      Just so there's a record, Del-Air's most recent response doesn't address any of my concerns and doesn't make sense. They haven't reached out directly to me concerning repayment plans since Aug 13 and none of this had anything to do with an AC diagnosis and there hasn't been a credit applied or anything to that nature. As mentioned in my previous communication, I am no longer going to reach out to Del Air. If in 5 months they reach out to me questioning why my balance hasn't been paid, I'll reach back out to BBB referencing this complaint number in hopes we go into mediation.

      Thank you,

      **** ******.

      Again just for the record to to address their most recent response:

       

      1) I was never confused. They mistakenly refunded me nearly $10K and i was just trying to pay them back.

      2) The issue was never concerning a diagnosis. I purchased a brand new AC unit from them in which they mistakenly refunded me nearly $10K

      3) They haven't issued a credit because we never agreed upon a payment plan due to not hearing from any representative since mid-August

      It sounds like to me they're considering the case closed, although I don't have any documentation to prove that.

      Date of HV** routine service and air filter change 7/24/24.On a routine service call the tech turned the breaker off in the air unit in the garage (60v switch) in order to install an air filter. He did this after taking the panels off to service the unit. From then it was not discovered that the ** was not on as the inside temp was 80 when set to 77 downstairs and 81 when set to 75 upstairs.The discovery was approximately 30 minutes after the tech left.The call center informed us that our location will be on the waitlist for service the night of the 24th. No update was provided and no one came.The house rose to 92 degrees upstairs and 88 degrees downstairs by the next day.We have a 3 week old child in the house that makes this is a hardship on the newborn.The call center never provided a manager or supervisor that could help us directly. Del Airs call center kept giving two hour windows for a techs arrival starting at 0800. Its now 1800 and someone from the call center finally confirmed someone is on the way.Additionally the original call was late at least 2 hours from the original service. If it was on time maybe this miserable day could have been avoided because someone would have been available in the evening.

      Del Air came by at about 1900 on the 25th. The fault was that the technician disassembled something in the unit preventing the 60v breaker switch from working.

      Hi ****, 
      My name is ********, and I am part of the Customer Success Team here at **********************. We are committed to resolving your issue as quickly as possible. However, I have searched our database and cannot find an account or record of the technician who performed the service. Could there be a different name on the file?
      I understand your frustration with the situation. During the routine service call on 7/24/24, it seems that the technician turned off the breaker in the air unit in the garage to install an air filter, and this led to your AC not functioning properly after they left. I am sorry to hear that this resulted in such high indoor temperatures, especially with a newborn in the house.
      We acknowledge the hardship this has caused and regret the delay in our response and the lack of updates. We strive to provide timely service, and its clear we did not meet those expectations in this instance.
      Please provide any additional information or alternate names that might be associated with your account so we can locate your records and address this issue.
      Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we are committed to making this right.

      This complaint was resolved about three weeks ago. I did not see any other prompts from BBB. Del Air made everything correct and was courteous.

      Del-Air installed my AC system many years ago - in all this time I have maintained a service agreement with them. My last renewal of the contract was 5/11/23, at which time I was told I still had one visit from my previous contract, so I had 3 covered visits. They serviced the unit in 2023, again in March 2024.On July 1, 2024 I received an email reminding me to schedule my "prepaid service maintenance." I scheduled the appointment thru their website. I never got a confirmation and had to call to find out that they would be out 7/19 between 12-2. I arrived at my house at 12:10 to find they had come and gone. I received no call - I found out they had an old # from years ago. My phone # was required at the time of scheduling so ??? Luckily, they were able to come that afternoon.When the tech was done he informed me my contract had expired in May 2024 and that I would have to pay. I told him that this should be covered - he checked with someone, who said they couldn't find anything, but did confess they had lost some things during their recent software change. I ended up paying $257 for the visit and still have not received a receipt for that. I called the local office and they put in a request for a supervisor to call me within 24 hours. It is now going on 48 hours and no one has reached out. This is the reward you get for being a good, consistent customer for 16 years.

      In June 2024 we had Del-Aire come out for service on our air conditioners. We paid over $400 for the repair and cleaning of both units. On July 7, 2024 we had a water leak in the ceiling as a result of a clogged air conditioning line. We called Del-Aire and spoke with ***************** on July 12, 2024 who stated he would call us back. We have been attempting to call him repeatedly and have left multiple messages and no one is getting back to us. We are scheduled to have the repair completed for $433 on July 19, 2024 and need the reimbursement.
