Initial Complaint

- Complaint Type:
- Service or Repair Issues
- Status:
- Resolved
This team came to the condo I was selling on Sept 25 to fix a toilet loose on the flange. The person booking the appt, & the tech (& his protégé), were very polite/personable. I appreciated their description of the issue they fixed. No issues with service, I found them very lovely/friendly /reasonable. 5 days later, though the condo only occupied 2 of those 5 days, the toilet had come loose again. I was out of town, and my brother using the condo reported the issue. I rebooked a tech to come and asked about warranty, and was told "we will see what we can do". I was charged full price. The next tech that came was again personable. however full price was charged. I asked how I knew the fix was proper this time and he said "don't worry, I made it so it wont come loose again". I called the business and they said they talked to both techs, and told me the issue was that we either I used the toilet too soon after the first tech, or I abused it. 1. Used the toilet too soon- there was no instructions not to use it the first time-in fact, the protégé used it right after repair, not me. I had a ******** ******* appointment then a ferry to catch right after, so I went to the ***, used their facilities there and ran for a ferry. The condo was vacant and unused for 4 days after I left. The toilet was only used by their staff after the fix. 2. The second team member told me the toilet was used too soon (see #1) or abused due to users having weak leg/quad/knee strength. The only person who used the toilet after the fix was my ******** who is extremely fit, and just competed and placed in athletic competitions , and has 3x weekly personal training sessions where he he lifts, as well as running and biking each week. He is more fit that the average user, and has zero injuries. I never used the toilet. I feel some of this should have been warrantied. 675.15 for a flange repair is a lot.

Services rendered by Murrayville Plumbing and Heating for which I should not have to pay the invoice amount of $1,244.78. The problems address and solved were: —Our house was not being heated. —Our house had no hot water in the taps. —Two parts of the new system were replaced. —Technician commented that the water was not adequately flushed upon instillation. Feb 17, 2022, I bought a new ****** ***** ************ ********** ************ *** ************* thermostat from Murrayville Plumbing and Heating. They installed the system in my house at a total cost of $12,065.76. I paid the bill in full. Dec 30, 8 AM The ****** boiler was not heating water. The technicians fixed the problem and repaired a vent coupling on top of the unit. 11 AM The ****** boiler is not heating water. I phoned Murrayville Plumbing & Heating and sent them a photo of the screen readout. 9 PM the boiler was off, so now the house is cold and has no hot water. Jan 2, 2023 No heat in the house. Murrayville Plumbing & Heating came to our house and assessed the situation as a plugged valve. No pressure in the boiler. Circulate and wash the system (lots of brown coming out). Removed the plugged valve and flushed. They said the system should have been flushed upon installation on Feb 17, 2022. Jan 3 Murrayville Plumbing came to our house. Two technicians installed: New boiler feed and new vent collar with sensor. The house now has heat and hot water. Jan 9 To my amazement, Murrayville emailed me an invoice dated Jan 3, 2023 for $1,244.78. I think I should not have to pay for services done on a recently purchased heating and water system. I phoned the office three times to dispute the charge. The receptionist said that she would relay the message to the appropriate people and they would call me back. They never did. The invoice memo included the following note: “To make changes to your invoice, please email: ******************.” I emailed the above address but they did not reply.Business response
