      UGI installed our central air conditioner on 08-22-2015. It has a ten year warranty on all parts. The compressor burned out several weeks ago. UGI claims that it cannot be repaired and we need a whole new unit, at a cost of about $7,000. (One of their employees even stated that it was not installed properly). It appears that UGI is not honoring their warranty.

      We are in receipt of the complaint filed by ****************** and regret to learn of his dissatisfaction. UGI places our customers at the heart of everything we do and considers customer satisfaction of utmost importance. We take customer complaints seriously.  We are happy to advise you that the issue has been resolved.

      In response to the complaint, a representative from ********'s Office of the President (“OTP”) contacted ***************** on September 5, 2023, to acknowledge receipt of his complaint. ***************** provided further details regarding his issue. The OTP representative then informed ****************** that they would reach out to the UGI Field Manager to assess the situation and determine whether to replace the entire unit instead of just replace the compressor.

      On September 6, 2023, the OTP member received feedback from the Field Manager and subsequently called ***************** to provide additional information and clarification related to the recommendation and justification of replacing his AC unit.

      ****************** remained dissatisfied with the rationale to replace the whole unit, opposed to replace a specific part. However, to progress towards a mutual resolution, ****************** requested a reduction in the replacement cost estimate.

      ****************** was contacted on September 8, 2023, by the UGI Manager, who advised as a courtesy they would replace and install a new unit at a discounted cost. ****************** accepted the offer. A tentative installation date of September 14, 2023, was agreed with ******************.

      We trust this response satisfactorily resolves **. ******** concerns. We appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention and giving us the opportunity to respond.  We welcome ***************** to reach out to us with any further concerns.

      The only concern I have is if I was still under warranty (10) years and the unit went out in 8 why do I have to pay for a new unit? If I was still under warranty! a quick response would be appreciated.

UGH HVAC places our customers at the heart of everything we do and considers customer satisfaction of utmost importance. We take customer complaints seriously and are happy to report that the issue has been resolved.

      In response to the complaint, a representative from *********'s Office of the President ("OTP") reached out to **** ************* on September 5, 2023, and confirmed the receipt of her complaint. The OTP representative then spoke with *** ******* (her son), who provided additional details about the issue. *** ******* verified that he had already spoken to a supervisor from UGI, who had scheduled a visit for September 6, 2023.
      On September 6, 2023, the OTP representative followed up with *** ******* and confirmed that the Water Heater was indeed leaking and needed replacement. An estimate for the replacement unit was provided. Due to previous miscommunication, $250.00 was offered as a gesture of goodwill to assist with the replacement cost.  In addition, the OTP member informed *** ******* about a remaining $50.00 benefit amount that could also be applied to the replacement cost, lowering the total out-of-pocket costs to $1490.00. *** ******* accepted the estimate and expressed his intention to follow up with UGI to schedule the installation of the new water heater. *** ******* was satisfied with this resolution.
      We trust this response satisfactorily resolves **** *************’s concerns. We appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention and giving us the opportunity to respond.  We welcome **** ******** ***** to reach out to us with any further concerns.

      It started when the pump to hot water tank would not stop running. I called *** with whom I had a service contract. *********** tech determined the hot water tank was leaking and stated it needed to be replaced. The tech turned off the water to the hot water tank. The tech then contacted ************************* of ******** who made an appointment for the next day (10-26-22) *********** tech left and it was 5-6 minutes later that the water pump began running again. I called the *** service number and asked if the service tech could return . He could not have been that far from by home. I was told no one could return for TWO DAYS. So I turned the furnace off again. I also turned it off after my first call because the call center could not provide any trouble shooting info. 10-26-22 ************************* of *** HAVC came and sold me a hot water tank for $3,000.00. 10-28-22 ******** installers arrived to put in the new hot water tank. The installers took about 6 hours to install the tank. Then they showed me the new tank. It was nothing like what was sold to me. Then the installer tells me that if a service tech needs to access a part on the tank he would need to cut through the wall from the ********* asked the installer way did he install this tank. The installer replied that when he opened the box and seen it was not the right tank he called his supervisor who told him to install it .After this expierence with *** I called another heating contractor who agreed to remove the hot water tank and install a new hot water system. 11-02-22 Spoke with ************************* ******** I informed him that my heating contractor would remove *** hot water tank. He was ok with that and refund my $3,000.00. 11-08-22 Spoke with ************************* and explained it would be a little while longer for my heating contractor to remove the tank due to other jobs that he was working on. ************************* informed me that his manager ( *****************) did not want to refund full price becaues it was taking to long to remove the tank and labor costs. 11-16-22 My heating contractor installed new hot water system. Due to family death and other medical issues and than the Christmas holidays I did not contact ************************* until 01-05-23 and renewed my request for a refund. ************************* *************) had his manager ***************** *************) contact me after a short conversation **************** agreed to refund my $3000.00. He went on to add that the employee who does that would process the refund the week of 01=09-23. That did not happen. I called three times 01-10-23, 01-13-23, 0116-23.
