Action Air Conditioning Co Armenia Ave Tampa Fl. David Russell BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY ESPECIALLY SINCE THE SUMMER IS APPROACHING Tampa Florida

After doing  business  with  this company    for  10  years and paying  for  a  yearly  maintenance  service, I  called  them  in  Dec  2015  after  a/c was  not  cooling. tech  came  out  and  in  5  minutes  found  a  burned  out capacitor said  it  would  be  $208 also  the  unit  needed  some  freon  another  $150  did  not  have  much  of  a  choice,  also  said  there  was  a  freon  leak  in  the  condensor in  the  attic  without  even  going  up  there.  Total  bill  $415   and  was  told  to  get  ready  to  buy  another  complete  unit.  I  felt  like  thus  was  a  very  high  bill  so  I  called  another  company  who  came  out  and  said  the  part  at  the  most should  have  been  maybe  $108  and  the  freon  $50  also  they  checked  for  a leak  in  the  sytem  electronically  at  no  charge.  The  tech  said  there  is  nothing  wrong  with  this  sytem and  to  be  more  careful  in  the  future.

I  called  the  Action  office  and  complained  to  Joyce  the  manger  she  said  she  would  look  into  it.  A  couple  of  weeks  later  she called  and  said  the  bill  would  stand  but  if  I  bought  another  system  from   them , she  would  discount  the  sytem  the  $415.  or  give  me  a  gift  certificate??? for  a  further  service  call.  I  posted  this complaint  with  the  better  busin ess  bureau  and  on  Yelp  which  got  a  response  from  them,  I  know  I  was  ripped  off  at least  $200  and  whats  more  important  is  I  nor  any  of  the  1115  property owners  where  I  live  will  not  be  calling  action  air.  I  own  2  other  properties that  I  intended  to  upgrade  the  a/c  systems  this  year  so  guess  what  David  Russell  you  lost  out on  about  $10,000  worth  of  merchandise  and  service.  Anyone  reading  this  should  look  on  Yelp  for  numberous  complaints  on  these  people  do  not  get  took  like I  did  or  the  other  folks.  Call  several  companies and  do  your  homework.
