I bought a new whirlpool French door refrigerator on October 15, 2023, at the above store. They delivered it on Monday, October 16. they claimed because the waterline from the old one went down to the basement they would not be able to install another waterline. I called the manager at Lowes because they had never told me anything about this! He argued with the two installers, who then called their boss. Their boss then spoke with this manager at Lowes. He explain to him that that is the policy now that the water hook up Has to be within 6 feet of the refrigerator. He couldve cared less and said I didnt sell her the refrigerator. I took care of that. Then after 24 hours, the icemaker was not working again I called. I had to wait for a technician to come out from the ******* area to substantiate that it was faulty. They came on October 18th and substantiated it was faulty. After much ado, I was able to get a hold of someone and they picked up the refrigerator on October 19. They refused to send a new one at that time! Company policy luckily there was a cancellation and I was able to get the new one on October 20. The same thing is happening. The freezer is not producing ice! I have already called someone to have them pick the second one up on Monday, October 23. This is very poor business and has cost me loss of work, loss of food, and now I have to take another day off on Monday for them to get this refrigerator freezer and remove it, I have gotten nothing but rudeness from these people. It needs to be reported and they need to stop selling whirlpool appliances that dont work! I deserve some type of compensation for this. I am going to have to remove everything once again and go out today and buy a new one from another company . I opened their credit card to save 5% and I dont know. if I have been credited from the old one or not, they claimed they did but I have no idea, when they ordered a new one. I hope I did not get charged again for that!! Need help!Business Response

I purchased flooring and installation of LVP from Lowes. The installation was performed and there were a few issues we found overnight/next day. I called and spoke with the installation support who gave me the run around but set up a date for a service pro to come out and check the floor. She was in my house all of 7 minutes and stated I dont see an issue. She wouldnt give me her recommendation but pushed it further to their area inspector from ************. He came, nice man. Performed his inspection and I received a call from service pros. They stated that the flooring issue was my problem due to me not being satisfied. Also if it was to be fixed I would have to pay for the materials and they would give me a $300 labor discount. Are you serious, I just spent nearly $10,000 and I have to pay more due to your installers mistakes! I love the product and Im not asking to get rid of everything just patch and level the floor where there is an issue. To try and charge me for an installer mistake is unacceptable. I paid in my billing for flooring to be patched/leveled, now I have to pay again. This is absurd. I just would like my floor fixed properly, not a huge ask. Im a veteran and have given Lowes a lot of our hard earned money. No more, and I will let every veteran organization, and members of our large community to not deal with their *** Services because they try to **** of issues on the consumer. This is very disheartening from a company that I thought was good until this recent dealing.Business Response

On May 11th, I order a fence project from Lowes. It took much longer than originally promised to deliver. Once it was delivered on July 24th, it sat in my yard for over a month before the installers showed up to actually install it. What was promised as a 1-day job stretched into 3. As they neared completion, the installers realized that the order was short several pieces. So they packed up and left. They left garbage and the old fence in my yard, they left holes in my yard with sawzalled off posts from the old fence (that I paid to have removed). My dog has fallen into the holes a few times and add a significant risk to anyone that could walk into my yard, leaving me vulnerable to a lawsuit. I called Lowes to have them fix the issue. But the installers never arrived. They have promised to send out new installers, to finish the job, but that too has failed to materialize. So I now have part of a fence, holes with sharp posts in them in my yard, old shipping materials in my yard, and an injured dog. All of this is 5 months after order and over 3 months after delivery. They also sent a "job complete" message on August 31st, despite the job not being done.Business Response

Lowes of ************ ** installed new windows and a sliding glass door at my condo in ******** ** in May 2023. There were four major issues with the installation that I have asked Lowes to address. These issues are: Wrong windows installed Installed windows not functioning properly Sliding glass door lock to be replaced Wrong color trim for sliding glass door Since May, I have communicated with Lowes on numerous occasions. Lowes should be embarrassed to the inability to fix the issues. I was FINALLY told the first of August the new windows would be installed and the other issues would be addressed. BUT later the store manager only to offer me a $5K discount as I was told Lowes would lose money if new windows were installed. In my continuous communications with Lowes ***************** Im always told they will be in touch with a resolution on a certain date. Since the installation of the windows/doors nothing positive has been done to correct the issues. Over the course of months, I have spoken with multiple Lowes customer service representatives and have spent much time on this problem that should have been taken care of when initially addressed upon installation. Due to Lowes inability to fix my installed windows and sliding glass door after months and multiple discussions BUT no actions towards a resolution, I have shared with Lowes that I am withholding further payment until there is an action plan/timeline in writing. The resolution is to either fix the stated issues or nullify the bill so I can work with another company to properly fix my windows or doors. I do not have the financial capacity to pay $14K to Lowes for their improper work and then turnaround and duplicate the service/work with another company. I would appreciate the BBB assistance in a coming to a resolution with Lowes.Business Response

Lowe's sold me a warranty for $600 and does not recognize that I purchased the warranty and I cannot use the warranty on the appliance that I purchased it on. They refuse to refund my money for the warranty but yet I can't use the warranty on a product that was broken. I paid out of money to fix the product and yet I have no value for the $600 that I spent for the warranty. I have called them many times. I have attempted to speak to a store manager and just now was told by someone that they couldn't help me at the store.Business Response

On 7/7/2023, I contacted Lowes about having a new HVAC system (Order # ********) installed on a **** square foot home I recently purchased. Lowes put me in touch with their authorized provider, Motili. ****** then put me in touch with **************** who performed the work. The total cost for the system was $9,172.00. I paid $4,586.00 as a down payment for the work to begin. After many weeks of delays and promises of work beginning, work began on 8/9. The workers were unable to complete the work on the first day and returned on 8/11 to continue the work. Two weeks later, the workers had to return yet again because the work was still not completed. Once they claimed the work was completed, my husband found problems with the work. The wood trim leading to the attic access was removed and not replaced. There were multiple long discarded pieces of duct work that had not been removed. There was damage to the sheetrock. There was a large, old metal air handler that had not been removed from the attic. The drain pan was without a drain line to remove water. On 10/5, **** and ******* came to remove the debris and install the drain line. When they left, they claimed everything was fixed. On 10/6, my husband found that the drain pan was almost overflowing with water. There were wood blocks used to hold up the equipment soaked sitting in the water waiting for mold growth. The drain for the equipment was not properly installed. When I called about the issue, ******* was very dismissive. **** came out that day to drain the water and fix the drain issue. **** said normally there should never be any water in the pan. Someone forgot to cap off a drain opening. My husband has noted that the drain lines are tapped into the sewer gas vent stack rather instead of to outside of the home. We have had a horrible experience with this Lowes contractor through numerous contact and there is still work to be done. I am asking to not have to pay the remaining balance of $4,586.00.Business Response
