Do NOT use Four Seasons, EVER.
We used FS in July '24 to replace our A/C, which wasn't the best experience, but not terrible. Despite our weariness, in Dec ‘24, we used FS to replace our furnace/water heater.
The installation team arrived @ 10:30am on a Friday to start the job. They were in our laundry room working for 13 hours without an update, and left a massive, too heavy for me to move, box with old parts in the middle of our kitchen blocking our access to the fridge almost the entire day. At 6pm, our downstairs neighbor came up saying her furnace tray filled w/ water directly below ours. This was 1hr after the workers drained our old water heater. We asked the installation team why that happened and they said it wasn’t their fault, there was no water on the ground, and there was nothing they could do. After pressing, he said he would call his supervisor for advice, and he never did.
At 9pm, they began to leave but told me they forgot a part and needed to come back the next day. We had plans, so I asked how long it would take; he said 1hr and we scheduled their return. After they left, we found a HUGE mess. Our floor was covered in sharp nails, shards of metal, and piles of dirt (they didn’t put anything down to protect our floors). They scratched the heck out of our walls, cracked one of our floor tiles, and left 4 large scratches on the front of our new brand new washing machine. Needless to say, we were furious.
The next AM, my neighbor sent me a video of her furnace making a concerning sound after flooding. The techs arrived and I informed them what my neighbor said. They said they’d look at it when they were done. 2.5 hours into the job on Saturday, I knocked on the door and asked if they had an ETA. The lead tech said, “we’re finishing right now”. 45 minutes pass, and they haven’t finished. I knocked and asked for an update as they said 45 mins ago they were done. He said they were making sure nothing was leaking, and started collecting their tools to leave very quickly. The tech was halfway out the door when I asked if he was going to look at my neighbors furnace like he said he would. He looked at me with confusion and said “I don’t know how that’s our problem..” After pressing he said he was only an installer but could submit a ticket. He did look at it and said he would send it in.
The next day, Sunday, my neighbor said someone from FS was coming to look at her furnace and asked if I could be present. When the tech came, he took pictures but said he wasn’t able to make any repairs?
I get a call from FS 2 days later following up on my neighbors claim. On this phone call, I also outlined my horrible experience, and told them I don’t believe it was installed correctly, as the team was supposedly making sure nothing was leaking when I knocked the second time for an update and basically bolted when I said I was getting frustrated. They were either intentionally wasting my time or they didn’t complete the job and I wanted someone to do a QC check.
A tech came out a 3rd time for a QC check (4th if you include my neighbors), and discovered our new air purification device had a broken bulb. They needed to order a new one and come back again to install it. On their 4th trip, the tech repaired the bulb, and everything seemed to be working fine.
I spoke with another CS agent to recap the damage they did, and was told that I needed to determine how much money was done in damages. I emailed that information to CS. Someone followed up and told me they needed written proposals. I expressed my frustration as that was not made clear to me. I had already spent hours trying to track down prices from the correct vendors for labor and specific parts. I am now trying to collect all that info again, so we can finally put this issue to rest soon.
We're normally very understanding customers and know employees are typically just doing their best. With this many issues with the job, CS, and the amount of time I’ve spent seeking resolution, we are fed up. This has been so frustrating and it seems to be never ending.
