Little Heroes Cooling & Heating

After my recent HVAC Service (Little Heroes) experience through American Home Shield; I can’t recommend people stay away from either company enough.After using the American Home Shield service request system for an Evaporative System call, the technician came out and spent all of 5 a 10 minutes looking at it and pulled a single panel (of 4 panels) off to make his snap judgement of my system.He then comes back down and states everything looks fine and a single out with a chisel would knock the calcium off, the belt looked new and someone put a new motor on it.Well, each panel took more than a day to clean up with a wire brush wheel and scraper, so that was a lie. The belt was so cracked that it was about to snap, it was also beginning to shred because I found pieces of it in the bottom. I took the last panel off and drain the tray to find someone had flex-sealed the entire bottom of the tray. As I start scrapping the built up areas, I found a large rust hole hidden by the flex seal that put the final nail in the coffin on my system.After trying to get AHS to schedule to relook at it and dispute the initial service request, the service department then says that it won’t be covered due to rust or calcium build up.This is clearly the business model, pay $100 for a service request, get the technician to tell the customer nothing is wrong and then AHS won’t have to cover it.I had another local and highly rated HVAC company come out for a second opinion and they fully agreed the system was beyond redemption.The AHS HVAC tech (Little Heroes) made it seem like he really didn’t want to be there or even perform the work, plus he didn’t even cycle the system on and off to make sure everything was working. If this is the service I can expect, I want no part of it. When I asked for a different company to evaluate my system, there apparently was no one else and it was only Little Heroes that AHS would work with.Now to make things worse, I pay AHS a $100 service fee, then Little Heroes charges them $150 (all to look at my system for a whopping 5 minutes). So what does AHS do during cancellation and reimbursement of my contract? -they deduct his additional service fee, so what should have been an $815 reimbursement became $665, plus I already paid them $100 for. So now I’m out $250 for 5 minutes of Little Heroes time.Stay away from these guys and more importantly, stay away from American Home Shield. Snakes in the grass, the lot of them.
