Our furnace broke down on Sunday March 29th 2015. We did not realize the problem until 4pm. We called the 'emergency number' and were told that there would be no technicians available for a service call until the following day between 1-5pm. It was -10 degrees outside and snowing. I have two children in the home, plus two elderly visitors. I made this clear to the woman I was speaking to but she would not help me further but kept saying that all the service technicians were 'booked' or 'over-booked' and had we called earlier in the day we could have been squeezed in. Really?? We called back a few minutes later and spoke to Paul, who after a lengthy discussion with him, still could not send anyone to my home until the next morning. and only after making it very clear that we were not happy with this length of time for repair. Approximately 30 minutes later, Paul called back to tell us that a technician was now available (still can't understand how all of a sudden, they could fit us in) and would be there that evening. We thanked Paul, however we are unhappy that we had to get very upset and angry before getting the right service. It was 17 degrees in my house by this time. Service technician Robert (1191019) arrived at 730pm, fixed the issue, and was gone within a half hour. He was great and we had no issues with him. Our issue remains with the call center and its lack of customer service in an urgent situation.
