We recently had a gas leak in our home, and what we discovered was extremely concerning. ESCO installed the combustion motor on our boiler back in 2005. When another licensed contractor (Popejoy) inspected the system, they found that the ESCO installer had left broken bolt heads inside the combustion motor housing. Because of that, the gasket could never be tightened properly, and over time it caused a gas leak.
This wasn't normal wear and tear -- it was an installation error from day one.
When my wife called ESCO about the leak, the representative told her they don't care and it's not their problem. They refused to even come look at it because I had filed a complaint back in 2019. Refusing to respond to a safety issue due to an old complaint is unprofessional and irresponsible.
What makes this worse is that ESCO advertises that they "warranty their parts and service," yet they refused to honor that claim today when the issue was clearly tied to their own installation.
Popejoy documented the problem clearly and explained that the leak was directly related to the improper installation. We now have to deal with the consequences of a mistake ESCO made years ago.
I'm sharing this so others know to be cautious. Safety-related work should be done correctly the first time, and no company should refuse to address a potential gas leak because a customer once voiced a concern. read more
