I joined the Sierra Air "Comfort Club" for twice annual preventive maintenance on my HVAC for my home in Wingfield Springs that we rent out while our full time residence is in Oregon. Our tennent texted me that the A/C is working but that it's making a rattling noice. I said great, call Sierra Air for the A/C preventive maintenance inspection. He did the tech showed up the next day, found the issue, and said even though the motors working that the bearings are going bad and the motor should be replaced. He said it would be $550 but refused to give any detail on the billing because he was too busy, and he wouldn't be able to do the preventive maintenance work he was there to do. I couldn't believe he was "too busy" to give me detail, which seemed like he had license to charge me anything he wanted. All the office did was process my payment in full, which include a $70 service call fee + no detail on the hours of labor. BTW the Home comfort club's first bullet point feature is that you get "Discounted labor and parts pricing."
This is a warning to be careful what you pay for, as things aren't always as they're described.
Sierra Air responded to my dissatisfaction after several calls to the by ONLY waiving the service call fee. Still no billing detail and I'm too frustrated and exhausted by the poor service that I'll just pay the bill and not beg for the billing detail... What a way to ruin your day being treated like a second class citizen.
