I cannot recommend against this company enough. Its hard to know where to start when it comes to the debacle that was the installation of my HVAC equipment. I guess I'll try and go in chronological order.
The first month I lived in this house the power bill was 350 dollars. The outdoor unit it ran almost 24 hours a day. House could never get to temp and the non stop drone of the system was irritating to say the least. ESE tried to tell me I needed to change the filters. I did and there was little to no affect. As someone who has worked in residential construction, I knew that a brand new Trane system should not be struggling like this. In the second month I switched to strictly emergency heat strips. My bill went down 100 dollars running heat strips for an entire month waiting for new compressor...
3 Eastern Shore Techs, and new compressor later after the first one burned up, I hired my own Master HVAC Technician that I trusted to troubleshoot.
Come to find out the system was wired wrong in the furnace its self and had just been jumped out to run not properly run with all diagnostic features in place.
Next the system lost pressure and I had to pay to refill with gas because the solder joint on the new compress was done with the wrong kind of solder and done poorly.
Next my daughters ceiling almost caved in on top of them because the condensation pan in the attic was improperly drained and over flowed and destroyed my drywall. While repairing this we figured out the mysterious sewage smell. When cutting out for the register they cut out approximately 18 inches of my plumbing vent pipe. I can only assume they did this because they cut drywall first and then discovered the pipe was right in the middle of their hole. It took me four 90 degree fittings and less than 5 minutes to fix. Pure laziness on their part.
Can't forget the lack of dampers, the same reason my system inconsistently heats and cools my house now.
In the end this company cost me a couple thousand dollars in repairs for their laziness, outright stupidity, and inability to do the job right the first, second, third, or even fourth time.
F you Eastern Shore Energy! read more
