VERY DISSAPOINTED- We have been loyal West Coast Plumbing and Air customers for several years. Ever since moving into our house. They have done numerous jobs for us with great results in the past. (key word is "past"- the quality of the company is gone) HOWEVER, the last job (and one of the more expensive jobs) was totally bungled. We were having HVAC issues; one section of the house was not cooling appropriately. They sent a technician out to diagnose the problem. He then quoted us a price ($2300) to fix the issues. After the work was complete, the HVAC issue actually WORSENED! So, I politely called to have the technician return to see what he could do. Upon return, he fumbled around and did a few little things and then left. The problem was still WORSE than before they came to work on it. Frustrated as I was, I got out my own ladder and was able to figure out the problem (and I am not even an HVAC guy.) I then proceeded to call John (the service manager) and explain that I needed a new tech to come out. I explained what the real issue was and was hopeful that they would be able to fix it. Sure enough, when the new tech came out, he was able to confirm my diagnosis. What I didn't expect was they were planning on charging another $1300 to fix the actual problem. After discussing the issue with John, he was unwilling to have his technician complete the CORRECT work without further charge. After his technician made the system WORSE, he wanted me to pay more to do the correct fix THAT I DIAGNOSED! I was totally shocked... In my opinion, this was quite unacceptable. I will be taking my business elsewhere. This city is full of HVAC companies that are likely more competent and fair than West Coast Plumbing and Air. Do yourself a favor, we all work too hard to be wasting money and time with this company trying to gouge its customers.
