Furnace up and decided to heat the house intermitently, so I called up to have somebody look at it.
Customer Service (Jen) on the phone was spot on and arranged to have a technician sent out that day, as well as book our annual furnace inspection (furnace coverage is included with our hot water heater rental).
Rick phoned to say he was en route, to be arriving within five-to-ten minutes. I informed him over the phone that the furnace did come on since my initial call, but there seemed to be a performance issue, as I had to cycle power to the unit in order to get the flame to ignite.
When Rick showed up within the stated time, I told him that over the past couple of years, there had been a couple of instances where there had been a build-up on the motor that caused an obstruction, and that the filter had been changed in early December.
Rick worked his magic and confirmed there was a bit of an obstruction forming and took care of it.
Rick is awesome - everybody should be like Rick. He was pleasant and showed me some stuff with regard to a fault indicator on my furnace that could help diagnose future issues.
If I have one complaint overall with the company, it is to do with the calls to my cel phone inquiring whether or not I want to upgrade this or get a new furnace, etc; I always decline, as my job could see me relocate in a month's notice, and we're not looking to invest in a new furnace or anything like that for the foreseeable future. I would prefer things like this get sent to my e-mail instead of done over the phone, as a couple of times in the past, there seemed to be a bit of pressure from the agent to purchase.
Thank you.
