I had a long term business relationship with C Davis until I purchased a
Pro Nest thermostat with a 5 year warranty for $375.00. Last year.
It never worked correctly ( this was my second house to have one, which he installed and serviced, so I was very familiar with the Smart functionality and never had an issue) fast forward.... After insinuating that I didn't know how to use the APP or the settings, They sent a service rep out to check the settings after only a month or so old and they charged me for a service call ( 5 year warranty ?????) the next time I called about the problems I had, I was told by the owner that he didn't really like The Nest new generation unit. He claims he told me that beforehand, which he did not. He recommended I go to a Honeywell, so I expected a refund towards the exchange, but he refused and said Nest does not refund him, but will only send a replacement. Now I'm out another $300 or so dollars for the Honeywell. Several months later and after several reminders, his assistant dropped off a new Pro Nest which says on the box that Sale by a non professional is strictly prohibited. I listed it for sale for only $200 ( $175 less than I paid) and I have had no bites, since Lowes sells them for under $200. I contacted Nest customer support and they said the new unit was not sold by them and was not registered. Neither was the first one. They said the HVAC company should register them to keep the warranty valid. It was not registered. The owner told me that he had told me to register it, which he did not. SOOOOOO, he ignored my emails and calls explaining that I cannot sell it. He ignored me and I've filed a complaint with the BBB here in Tyler. After about a month he finally replied stating he had warned me that they weren't a good product (but he took my $375 and sold it to me) He never told me that! He never told me to register it and he did not honor the 5 year warranty, nor did Nest because it wasn't registered. He's the professional AC company, not me. I'm out $464 for the service call and the unit which I've asked him to refund me and I will give it back unopened and sealed up. Buyer Beware!!! It's really disappointing , since I had been a long term customer. IMO this is a pure misrepresentation , if not total dishonesty with a few lies defending his position and a real SCREW job. I'm waiting to hear what BBB says after I replied and I stated that I did not accept his resolution/ which is TOO bad! I'm supposed to accept the loss and be satisfied with that ???? I'm warning everyone on social media and with BBB not to use them. read more
