Lickety Split Victim
They charged me 5000 dollars to install two HEPA filters , one on each unit.
The reason they said I needed them was my static pressure was high.
After doing so my upstairs unit failed, I called them back in the middle of the night and they said my ductwork in the attic upstairs needed replaced and they had to cut an access hole in the ceiling to get to it and it would be a 20,000 dollar job. He put Freon in the unit and left.
What I learned was there isn’t any way ANYONE would install I high resistance HEPA filter on ANYTHING with already high static pressure.
When I contacted them and told them this they wouldn’t even come back to look at my units, so I had to pay another company to fix them.
Then my downstairs unit quit working, so I had to call a different company to come out because Lickety Split would not even answer my calls. They found out that my expansion valve on my upstairs unit failed and they wired the float switch backwards. My downstairs unit compressor failed because of the HEPAS. My units are BOTH only 2 years old, so the compressor and expansion valve were under warranty, but the labor was 1600 dollars now both of my units are working properly.
Also what I learned is a HEPA requires an additional blower to blow through the filter to assist the blower on the evaporator. They only changed my filter housing and added a 4” Merv 20 filter. I believe they knew this strain on my unit would cause damage to basically everything down the road and it would cause me to have to call them back over and over again fixing failed components these filters caused.
So now I have to use a 4” MERV 8 filter that costs me 50 bucks a piece Vs. a 1” filter I had before.
I actually have a text msg were the owner said he was issuing me a 3000 dollar refund and look for it in my email, but he never sent me any refund.
Does anyone have any experience with taking them to court and winning and if so did you ever get any money back? I am out 6500 dollars and I’ve been struggling since to catch up.
