First and foremost, when I say that this company has exceeded my expectations that is huge as I have very high expectations when it comes to customer service and business.
From the initial contact, you are prompted to click 1 for new customers and 2 for an existing customer. As I was a new customer I was directed to Luke, the owner. It is my assumption that all new customers get directed to him, which is actually very smart, this ensures the first person a new customer interacts with is the owner, sets a pretty high standard already. Luke was very professional and patient. I was driving in from out of town with a toddler and was told my A/C went out prior to my arrival home. Luke made sure that I had a technician at my home by the time I arrived.
James was the individual who arrived at my home. I believe he is actually the Service Manager. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about James. He was kind, patient, explained what he was doing to try and diagnose the problem, and even broke down his diagnosis with real-life examples to help us understand the issues with the compressor and evaporator coils in our A/C unit. We ultimately needed to get a brand new unit as ours was well over 10 years old, but even giving us this news we weren't mad. James helped us by explaining ALL of our options and did give recommendations. At no point did we ever feel pressured or forced to make a decision. James made sure we received 3 portable stand up A/C units to ensure we had some sort of cooling until our new unit was installed. What really stood out about James was that he seemed to genuinely care about the job he was doing and the people he was serving. I told him a negative story about an A/C company we had come out to our home a month prior and his response was "well, while that was not our company, we want to make sure that we make this right. We want to show our customers that there are good A/C companies out there that care about the customer". James also had a trainee (i don't recall his name) with him when he installed the portable units and even he was polite and respectful, even said "yes, ma'am" in response to questions!
The next interaction I had was with Michael and another young man (I did not catch his name), both men were professional and polite. I directed them to where the existing units were at and Michael informed me of what he would be doing and I left them both to do their job while I attended online schooling. They even taped cardboard down on the floors to protect them and even vacuumed the floors when they were done. They even completed the job ahead of schedule and Michael walked me through explaining the new units both inside and outside and the new thermostat. We did have a freak accident where the breaker shut off the system that same night, I made a call and not only did Terry, the representative who answered my call assure me they would take care of it, Luke even called to follow up! Mind you this was like at 9:30 pm, within 30-40 minutes, guess who showed up, Michael!! The same person who actually did the install, what a relief this was as he would have been the only one who knew what he did and could correct it. He figured it out and corrected it.
Today is the first full day with the new system and I even received a follow-up call from James and he was aware of the small issue we had with the system last night. Clearly this shows their communication within the company is very effective. What i love about this company is that their communication with the customer doesn't stop once the job is handed off to the installer. They continued to reach out to me to ensure I was happy and to make sure everything was working great. This company just wants to make sure they are doing it right. James and Michael repeatedly said "if you need anything or have any questions, please call or text, you have my number". It's genuine and that makes a difference between this company and the next. I have found my permamnent A/C and heating company and I will continue to spread the word to others. Thank you, Zimmermann A/C and Heating!! read more
