    In 2024, I had Bardi come to my home and do some work. I agreed to pay for a 1-year membership. Before signing up for the membership, I explicitly asked the Bardi employee about whether the membership would renew as I did not want to sign up if it would automatically renew. The Bardi employee told me that if I did not have a credit card on file (which I do not), the membership would not automatically renew and I would be contacted to provide a credit card for the renewal charge. I wrote a check to pay for the services rendered and for a 1-year membership. On June 17, 2025, I saw Bardi made an ACH withdrawal from my checking account of $315.00 to renew the membership. I never gave any authorization to Bardi to withdraw funds from my bank account nor did I consent to renewing my membership. I have called Bardi three times to try and resolve the issue: (1) on June 19, 2025, I was told a ************* Manager would contact me. I received a follow-up call where they collected details about the issue and said they would call me back. I never received a call. I called again (2) on July 3, 2025, I was told a ************* Manager would contact me within 48 business hours. I never received a call. I again called (3) on July 11, ********************************************************************************** I have not been able to get any assistance.

    I called Bardi last year June 2024. They ***e out 06/18/24 and said that my unit and system needed repairs and it would cost about $3200 dollars. I was able to get a loan from ********* to do the repairs. When the technician ***e he stopped and said he thought I needed a new unit and that someone would call me to talk about a new unit. Then he went outside ***e back in and stated he spoke with his supervisor who told him to go back and look at something else. He did that and the unit he said was fixed. Well a week later and the unit went out and the technician ***e back out and said I needed a new unit. A sales rep *** out and said i needed a new heating and furnace unit. That they would take off the price off the repairs minus the duct cleaning. But the new unit would cost me $13,000 minus what I owe Goodleap which would cost me $10,000. Which I couldn't get another loan at the time and I called and asked if ******** could just be paid off and I get a new loan for the price of the new unit but that didn't happen. I am now on the line for paying ******** back for a service that isn't working and Bardi hasn't come through to fix and they were paid to fix my air which is still not working and somehow my heat stopped working to after the fix. I would like something done since I have paid for at least my air to work. I am okay with them paying off Goodleap and getting the whole system redone.

    On 04/15/25, I was charged ****** dollars for a Bardi Home services contract. I have contacted them repeatedly and told them repeatedly--since i cancelled their service in August 2024-- that I did not want to renew because of the awful experience I had with a quote from them. Last year, I did not utilize any of their free services because I don't trust their prices and did not have a good experience. This company has nothing but lie to me and take my money. Though they assured me that the service would not renew and was indeed cancelled in their system, they refused to send written confirmation. I see that, against my wishes and their promises, they charged my debit card again. I want my money returned/ refunded. I even wrote their technician a good review before realizing the quote was triple the true cost. I feel scammed by this company again. I cancelled the home services contract in August of 2024. I checked several times to make sure nothing would renew and was assured it would not. Bardi lied and i want a refund of ******.

    Dear **** *******,


    Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and please accept our sincere apologies for the frustration and inconvenience this has caused.
    After reviewing your account, we confirmed that your membership was indeed marked as cancelled in August 2024. Unfortunately, due to a system glitch, a renewal charge of $315.00 was mistakenly processed on April 15, 2025. We completely understand how upsetting this must beespecially after the assurances you receivedand we want to make things right.
    We have taken immediate action to issue a full refund of $315.00 to your original form of payment. You should see the funds reflected in your account within 35 business days, depending on your financial institution.
    At Bardi, we strive to provide reliable and respectful service, and were truly sorry that your experience fell short. We appreciate your feedback and will be using it to improve both our systems and communication moving forward.
    If you have any further questions or need additional support, please dont hesitate to reach out. We're here to help.

    I had the hot water side of the water line in the laundry replaced by Bardi because of it leaking. While getting my home inspected they discovered moister below that room on the garage ceiling. It was discovered that the faucets was leaking. I had the faucets replaced and got the sheet rock repaired. I spent $64.23 for materials and around $200 in labor. You guys only replaced the hot water side but both sides was leaking when the faucets were in t. Maybe we can split the cost 50/50. Just let me know. I appreciate your time. If you can send me an email address then I can email you more pictures and receipts. I can only attach 5 Mb on this entry.

    I received services for Bardi to fix the piping under my sink. The *** said he built everything from scratch with all new piping. This was April of 2025. It has not been a year. The piping is leaking and causing water damage. Within my kitchen. I just want the situation to be resolved without being charged all these additional fees for something that should have been fixed.

    12/20/2024 *********** initially set up an appointment to have hole bored Into my yard for new waterline. I have a septic system, and no due diligence was done when communicating with the contractor. Bardi Also told me that nobody was coming on the day that the contractor showed up. The contractor showed up, and drilled two different holes through my yard, directly through my septic drainage field. Because they had no idea where my water shut off was, and since I was told, nobody was coming that day, I was not present. They bored The first hole, then pulled it back and bought another one because they had no idea what they were doing. The contractor admitted this to me. It was extremely negligent. Theyve created a septic system runoff issue that is now pooling at the bottom of my yard, and has been for two months. They have so far refused to give me a refund and have not come out and fixed the problem. They also did not tie in my sprinkler system into the new waterline when they originally came out for the project. Theyve created a much bigger problem than my initial issue with the waterline. I need to make sure they come out and fix this problem and refund me for the entire project. I want to avoid getting a lawyer for this, but that will be the next step.

    I hired Bardi to come out to my home because I had and issue with water backing up in my sink. The original tech came out and snaked the line from the kitchen sink. Then he suggested I get the sewage line checked with a camera. I did that and ********* found a blockage in the line. I agreed to replace the entire sewage line. It seemed things were ok. I washed a load of cloths and a load of dishes and now my kitchen sink is backing back up. Keep in mind this was my original issue and now $9,500 later, my sink is backing back up. On top of that now my yard has a large ravine going from my walkway to the street and I'm getting a bad smell in the front yard. I need more top soil brought packed tight, leveled and more wheat straw put down. With all the $ I spent with Bardi.....I'm not happy at all.

    Hi Bardi,This is my 3rd attempt to resolve this issue. I submitted my initial Inquiry via email on 12/29 and spoke to supervisor ******* is who yet to follow up. Please note she assured she would reach out to the technician but to date has not. See the correspondence below:Thank you for coming out to inspect my leak on Sunday 12/29/2024. The service man, ******* was pleasant and informed me that I world need to have a 24 x ************************************************************************************* my bathroom was coming from. When I scheduled plumbing visit online, I was under the impression the service fee was free. And that the leak detection would be $88. I was charged for $88 but no leak detection was completed.Per your website, it shows a free estimates are provided for leak detection and commercial security living services are charged $125. Please see the attached work orders below. I still do not know where the leak is coming from and would like $88 credited back. Further more, ******* stated since he was not able to provide leak detection and would have to return to cut the drywall to find the leak, he quoted the estimate and stated he would charge $29.99 to have the Bardi plan to have a discount for all repairs. To be quoted one thing and charged another id unacceptable! This bate and switch tactic is so disappointing abs resulted in me choosing another plumber to provide service. Thank you ******* ******- ********

    Apologies and Resolution for Recent *********************************** sincerely apologize for any miscommunication regarding your recent service. I understand your frustration, and I truly appreciate your patience.
    Regarding the service on 12/29, the $88 charge was for the service fee, as the leak was visible and pre-existing. A representative attempted to contact you on 12/28, leaving a voicemail to confirm your appointment and discuss the details. Since the leak source was already confirmed, a full leak detection was not necessary, and the technician provided an estimate to cut the drywall for further inspection. I understand that you chose to wait for your home warranty company, which we completely respect.
    We regret any confusion and, as a goodwill gesture, we are happy to offer an $88 credit towards future repairs. Please note that the service terms and conditions, including this process, are available on our website, and Ive attached a copy for your convenience.
    Estimate from Technician Findings - 12/29/2024
    Amount: $285.80
    Description:
    This estimate covers cutting a hole in the drywall behind the customers daughters bathroom shower, which is leaking into the living room ceiling. Please note that Bardi ************* does not repair drywall; this estimate is solely for gaining access to the leak so that we can further assess and provide a detailed repair quote.
    Additionally, this estimate includes a monthly Friends of Bardi membership, which offers a 15% discount on all repairs.

    Please dont hesitate to reach out if you need further assistance or clarification.

    I was told one thing and charged another. This is unacceptable. Please credit my account the $88.00. No services were rendered 

    Please see attached  the website as I scheduled this email and the free consultation  for plumbing quote.

    Clarification ***************** Charges and Account Review

    Dear **** ********,


    Thank you for taking the time to respond. After carefully reviewing your account multiple times, I want to sincerely apologize if the outcome did not meet your expectations. However, I would like to clarify that the charges applied were for the service you agreed to.
    I have attached the invoice summary for your reference. The technician came out because a restoration company had already cut a hole in the dining room ceiling on the main level due to a leak in your daughters guest bathroom shower upstairs. While there was no access from underneath, the technician confirmed that the shower was indeed leaking. An estimate was provided to cut a hole in the laundry room wall on the second level for further inspection, but you decided to hold off due to your home warranty company coming out the next day.
    The technician confirmed the source of the leak, and the only charge applied was the service fee (SRC). I sincerely apologize if there was any confusion or if this wasnt what you expected. You were not charged $29.99, but instead for the service call, which is standard when responding to a problem call.
    If you have any further questions or concerns, please dont hesitate to reach out. We value your business and are here to assist you

    I had two service issue with my ******* furnace I purchased from Bardi. The first issue was about a month ago when water was sitting on top of the furnace. Turns out water from condensation was leaking from the exhaust pipe and settling on top of the unit. The second issue was today when I woke up and the temp inside my home was 55 degrees. The unit wasn't running at all and the condensation pump was just running. When the tech came to the house and turned on the unit, it was back working. The tech did his trouble shooting and determined the condensation line outside froze and the unit shut itself off. The issue I have is when I first had a consultation with a sales *** and he was telling me about the unit, I should have been made aware with this particular unit I will have condensation when running the heat like I have when running the air. My old unit was 30+ years old and I didn't have condensation in the winter when running the heat. My condensation line runs outside the house. So when the tech came out today he made some suggestion on how to run the condensation line inside the home into a drain line. Well, some modifications need o be done to get that done. If I had been told in the beginning during my initial consultation before I purchased the unit I could had your installers complete that while installing my unit. Now, how my water lines runs and the unit I have...I'll have this issue every winter when the temp drops below 32 degrees.

    For over four months, Bardi has refused to honor its service and workmanship warranty after a water leak following their work. We have spent months in phone calls and letters seeking Bardi's cooperation. As a result, my grandmother has suffered emotionally and struggled to move around her home, which has been in disarray. Following Bardis work at her home this summer, there was a significant leak. My grandmother contacted Bardi for help. Days passed and Bardi sent a representative to inspect the property. Rather than immediately accept responsibility for the water damage and honoring the workmanship warranty, the representative insisted that my grandmother file a claim with her home insurer. This was dishonorable. For the past 4 months, we have pressed Bardi and its general manager, ****** ******, to honor the warranty and make it right. Even through November, Mr. ****** strung us along, failing to appear for a scheduled meeting, and not keeping his promise to follow up after the meeting to schedule air duct cleaning and respond with a promised estimate.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
