I hired them for home filtration system. I thoroughly explained and requested an experienced Plumber. They sent an associate with ZERO knowledge about installation, plumbing and service. Ruined my garage wall. He admitted he was not a plumber neither experienced. I overlook the situation then they promised to correct it and hire a professional plumber. I waited a month. The same guy showed up. He informed me they trained him to become a plumber. Again I overlooked it. I asked him to proceed after he caused additional damage to the wall He admitted he doesn’t know how to fix it and I must hire a professional plumber to fix the damage. Unprofessional. Unethical. I wouldn’t believe any of their reviews.

I have been with Culligan leasing their systems for more than 4 years. I have had no issues with the product or service, but I do have issue with the prices that Culligan corporate is now charging. My brother who lives in a different part of Florida than me has the same water softening system and leases it. He pays a little less than half of what I pay per month because his office is still franchise-owned. The office serving my area has been bought out by Culligan corporate and charges much higher prices. I am not happy about this. This sounds like greed to me. I just updated my system and will now be paying $30 more a month than what I was on my old system. Culligan corporate needs to do better.

Culligan makes our retirement more enjoyable; by having Culligan's delivery service take the salt down in the basement and put it in the softener I'm saved from possible injury and pain! It is such a welcome convenience! My wife and I love our Culligan service!

Too expensive and old technology. They are behind the curve. There are a lot of new options on market 2X 3X more affordable and more effective than Culligan. Also, I bought a house with their existing system, that was under warranty. But Culligan is forcing us to buy a new system instead because we are not the original buyer. Doesn’t make sense. We installed another manufacturer. Do not recommend Culligan long term.

THINKING ABOUT CULLIGAN? THINK AGAIN. After several months or complaints and requests for a full refund from Culligan, I finally got a response. I received a call from Curtis **, Culligan of Florida, requesting a meeting at my home and I agreed. When he arrived he discovered a high concentration of sodium from the R.O. faucet as well as the house water.
We also reported that there was a green slime that was coming from the R.O. faucet. I asked him for a full refund and return what Culligan removed from the house. He said that was all possible, but he asked for a chance to make things right and I agreed to give him a chance. He offered (4) new R.O. cartridges and new media in the outdoor cylinder. He also agreed to financial compensation. I lost two days of wages, and we were drinking bottled water. He followed up with a call to see if the work was done and to let me know that a check would be in the mail on Monday.
After three weeks had passed, slime reappeared at the R.O. faucet, the shower water still felt like we were showering with Castrol GTX and no compensation had arrived. It appears that Mr. ** is just as dishonest as his employees in West Palm Beach and Port St. Lucie. He lied to our faces at our kitchen table. You must be proud of him. I expect a full refund of $6496.00, restoration of the equipment as found and removal of your garbage.

The products are wonderful but the overall service has not been satisfactory. First, they installed the wrong color instruments (silver) at the sink yet my fixtures are black and I have called about it six times or more to figure out when the correct color will be in and installed and all I get is the run around about - the lady states that it's been ordered and no date of delivery is available - Ironically I have paid the bill in full cash at $5000 plus for the entire water system. Secondly, the water system connected at my kitchen sink was not done correctly and I had a water leak which damaged 3 pieces of my new wood floor. I have ask that they repair the floor via labor cost only because I have extra wood pieces available but no has returned my calls. I am very disappointed at this point and I am beginning to wish I would have never updated my older Culligan system because it was working fine!

Recently took over my mother house. She has had a Culligan system since about 2012. Has paid Culligan over 12k and the system still doesn't work. All her appliances toilets, faucets and plumbing are ruined. They put in a rustmiser at one point and were charging her 150 per month for 4 years and then kept charging her for another year until she called and they said oops, but they never did refund and $. They call it rental (Scam) so she never did own the system and now they want 1400 buck to buy it out (old piece of garbage).
Never did they once suggest to change the system or make a better setup, oh sorry they recently did cost of 10k! Most of the problem is irony water of 10ppm or so they say. But I watch the guy test it and pitiful testing I don't trust a word they say. They will overcharge you and service will come do a little cleaning. I would not recommend culligan for anything! Biggest rip off water company out there, I feel sorry for you if you have culligan.

Culligan installed water softener system in home that was being sold. Mike, the employee, assured the seller that the contract could be transferred to the new owners. When the new owners made an attempt to take over the account they were told they could not take it over and must sign up for a new contract. Culligan does not stand by what their employee told the customer and deducted over $500 out of previous owners account without notification. Reached out to corporate and no help there either.

I don't know where to begin, I have lot to say but I will try to keep it short. About an year a ago I inquired water softener system and came to in contact with Culligan. I sat down with culligan Rep and decided to go with their leasing contract, Rep had me sign the contract on his Ipad. He didn't leave any document and I trusted the guy since he use to work with my friend selling barbecues. Next month came and they tried to charge to my account as I purchased the system instead of leasing it, I called their office in Ontraio and person on the phone told me it was mistake and she will fix it. She did fix it and now I was on leasing terms.
The system they installed had faulty parts that was giving wrong readings to their system as far as how much water was being used in the house and because of the wrong reading system was flushing 20 times a month and with that took all the salt and I was always out of salt. They didn't want to deliver the salt, it would take literally many calls to their office so I can get salt. I called culligan many time to let them know what was going on and it took them a year to come to my house to diagnose the system.
Now after a year their tech comes and tell me there is faulty part in here and that's why it regenerate 20 times and that's why you are always out of salt. He told the whole thing to his manager "Jose" on the phone when he was at my house I can hear the whole conversation. When I called culligan to complain about it Jose the manager said their system was working properly and he has no knowledge of faulty parts even though he knew everything than he said even if there was faulty parts system was still working properly.
I asked him, "Ok if the system was working fine why did you have to change the parts?" He has no answer. After I had their system installed I changed all of my toilets costing me $500 a piece and I have 4 of them and now they all look like the one I had prior. There is lot more about this culligan location I don't have enough time to finish this but I will say one thing at the end. Stay away from them. I wouldn't even give them 1 star if I had option.

The plumber was the sorriest excuse for a professional on the planet earth. Six months into owning our softener, it started to leak. I put up with the occasional leak. I called a year into ownership, and got a service call. The plumber was the sorriest excuse for a professional on the planet earth. He claimed the tank needed replacing at hundreds of dollars as the threads on the top were ruined by our house pressure. He claimed the pressure at our house spiked at 120 psi and it ruined our regulator, and the pressure had somehow stripped the plastic threads on the conditioner.
Fact. I had the city test the pressure in the neighborhood. 88 psi. Fact. I had them test it at my house. 88 psi, Fact, I bought a tester and tested it…You guessed it, 88 psi. Fact. The Culligan website lists the softeners certified to work between 20- 125 psi. Fact. I lowered the water regulator pressure to 40, and the leak stopped. Fact, I replaced the rubber seal at the top and re tightened the softener head. Fact, at 50 psi, the unit does not leak leak, at 70 it does. It leaks past the upper rubber seal. This is a design flaw. No damage to the unit from pressure, it’s a flaw.
To top it off, the tech put new salt in our unit by request. The bags are stored on the back of a dirty truck. He opened dirty bags over our unit, introducing dirt and mold spores into our salt container. It was clean before he arrived. Full of dirt after his departure. How incredibly unprofessional. So either one of two conditions exist.
1. Culligan is AWARE and part of the scam to coerce customers into needlessly buying new units due to “over pressure“ which Isn’t the case.2. They use unethical and or shitty plumbers to do their work.
To top it off. I got charged 180$ for this dazzling display of unprofessional behavior. Fortunately I am mechanically inclined and caught this ** assessment. I pity the elderly on a limited income, or the mechanically un-inclined, who will fall prey to this scam. I’m inclined to get a news channel to do some investigative reporting on culligan.

I hate this company. Years ago, when I contracted with Culligan for a whole-house pH adjuster, the salesman lied about almost everything, in order to get the sale. First, he told me that the canister could be refilled by the homeowner. This is not true. I need to get an service guy to come out and remove it, every couple years, and take it to the service center to be cleaned and refilled. This takes a couple weeks and costs — last time I got it done — several hundred dollars. Second, he promised me a free, comprehensive water analysis. When I contacted the Culligan office to arrange the water sampling, the manager said they had no record of that part of the agreement, and that they don’t even offer that service. Third, he tried to sell me a superfluous, two-canister treatment system that would have reduced my water pressure to near zero.
The fact is the salesmen who come out to do a pitch and get a contract work on commission. They will say what they need to in order to get you to sign. If I could have a do-over, I never would have gone with Culligan. Before I purchased their treatment system I used a locally-owned company that switched out smaller media canisters every month. It was an inexpensive service, and a far better way to treat our water. But after spending well in excess of $1000 on the Culligan canister system, I am now stuck with them.

We had a different company put in a whole house system in our Clearwater house but went with Culligan at our new place. The price was high but we wanted a great system. We went with a whole house softener and undersink RO setup. It came with 1 year of regular service. Seems like every month the salt tank was overfilled and always had a salt bridge I needed to deal with. Then the system broke and was dumping salt water on the ground and we didn’t notice until we were notified we had a huge dead spot of grass. While the system was repaired the tech said they don’t fix the grass. After I made a few comments about it he said he’d talk the the manager and have him call us, but nobody ever did. It cost us our time, money and labor to get the grass fixed. Culligan didn’t seem to care.
The water not coming from the RO system always tastes briny. Like when showering or brushing teeth. The final straw was when I received a 30 day past due email bill/notice that I owed for 2 months of service! This was the first bill I ever got, email or otherwise. We canceled the contract and will probably start looking at a new system after one years of the Culligan setup. So sorry we spent a few grand on this system. But we learned that local dealers are better to work with.

I have a water well, and the water contains sand particles and gives off a sulfur smell in the summertime. I contacted Culligan and purchased about $8000 worth of water treatment equipment from them including a water softener, chlorinator, sand trap, outside filter, and reverse osmosis system on the company's recommendation based on my problems. I thought that the initial cost of the equipment was reasonable. However, once I was locked into this investment, then any time that I have needed any part of service from Culligan, no matter how simple, it has been significantly overpriced. A service call alone costs me $140.
I called them once when my reverse osmosis system wasn't functioning and described the problem. There was no trouble-shooting over the phone for simple fixes. All they'll do is offer to send a technician out. So the technician got there and told me that the battery had gone out on the leak detector, and the system wouldn't function if that leak detector didn't have power. Seems like they could have told me that over the phone. Anyway, they billed me $140. Once I had a dishwasher repairman tell me I still had sand in my water. I called Culligan. They sent a technician. He came over and basically told me there's nothing he can do about it. Small sand particles are unable to be filtered by their system. $140. I had about a 6 inch rubber tube get a leak on the chlorinator pump. I was bound and determined not to call them. I tried to find a replacement on my own and ended up not getting the right part. I broke down and called Culligan.
The 6 inch rubber tube was $45 plus $10 shipping. Once I got the part and could figure out the part number, I found the same part online for $17 and free shipping. The culligan salesperson also told me when I bought the $8000 system that it had a lifetime warranty. However, I have always been charged for everything when anything has gone wrong. The lid to my chlorinator was made of thin blue plastic. After sitting out in the sun for a couple years, it started cracking and just disintegrated.
When I contacted culligan for a new one, I was told they had never heard of that happening, and the part is simply unavailable. They provided me with some black rubber cap that doesn't fit properly. I had to wrap it with gorilla tape to get it to fit somewhat snugly and not allow water to pour into the system when it rains. Also, the lid to my chlorinator started to deform over time. There is a hole in the lid for some 1/4 inch tubing to enter which is not water-tight. With the lid deformed, water would pool when it rained and get into the system. Again, culligan came out and looked at it, and told me to just keep sealing around the tubing with some caulk. Every time I have needed service or parts, I have felt ripped off while receiving substandard fixes for the maintenance of what is a big investment for me. I initially felt like the purchase of the system was a fair price, but the overpriced service and parts make me regret ever buying it.

Culligan is probably the least reliable company to purchase a Reverse Osmosis System from. I purchased their system in November of 2018. I was told that 3 of the filters (Sediment, Activate Charcoal and small filter) were good for one year and that the Reverse Osmosis filter would be good for 5 years. So, I picked up the one year old filters in September 2019, (less than one year). I changed out the old filters and used the system for 5 months when the system stopped working. (No water flow.) I called for service. They came out and told me the "5 Year" filter was clogged and no good. (This 5 year filter lasted all of 18 months.) Now tells me I need to buy a new one for $120., plus the $148 service call ($268.00 plus tax)...
THIS SERVICE CALL LASTED 13 MINUTES!!! I asked the service rep. if he could also change out the faucet for the RO system that was leaking. He told me he doesn't have the time. Remember...just for the 13 minute service call to solve whatever problems I had cost $148!!! AND HE DOESN'T HAVE TIME!!! REALLY??? So now to get the faucet replaced it will be an additional $148 +. The most painful and upsetting part of this is that I paid $1,200.00 for this cheap ** system. Never use them again. When the next filters fail, I will purchase a reliable system, from another dealer/manufacturer and junk this P.O.S.

Service in our area is MARGINAL at best and has been that way for the past 5-10 years. VERY FRUSTRATING. BACKGROUND: We live in Cincinnati and have used Culligan for almost 25 years. Service used to be "great"...on time, as scheduled and no hassles. Clockwork. SERVICE: This office can NOT consistently deliver salt or service their water purification systems. It's SAD. I can't tell you how many times we've called to remind them that it's been MONTHS since their last salt delivery OR that our water purification filter needs to be changed. And when they do come out for a salt delivery they often FAIL to read the delivery notes on our work order to access their equipment by way of our storm cellar entrance. We regularly find salt stacked on our front door stoop or outside our side door.
INCONVENIENT: Culligan migrated to automated delivery reminder calls that force you (the customer) to LISTEN then hang up, STOP what you're doing - NOT an option if you're driving or working - LOCATE the number of your local branch, CALL then WAIT to speak to the correct person IF you're out-of-town OR need to reschedule the delivery.
DECEMBER 2018: It has now been 3 weeks since Culligan stacked our salt delivery outside the side door rather than deliver it using our storm cellar entrance, week 2 they failed to show after we rescheduled, then week 3 the driver "claimed" he could NOT find our side entrance which off the driveway ~20 feet to the left of our front door despite an All Deliveries SIGN with an ARROW pointing to the side door! Week 4 they finally managed to pick up the salt. RIDICULOUS. MARCH 2019: our scheduled delivery went as planned - WooHoo! ...Or so we thought until our dogs ran off that night and we discovered Culligan left the side gate to our back yard "open'. Oh joy. (not)
AUGUST 2019: I received a VM message from our new route driver saying his delivery ticket did not provide any direction as to what to do with our salt so he left it on our side porch (again!) How ironic since we receive multiple automated text delivery alerts and emails. Anyway we exchanged text messages and I requested him to please stop back later in the week to complete his delivery so we could re-secure our cellar door which we must leave unlocked to accommodate their schedule. After 8 days the salt was still stacked on our side porch so I called the driver and my call went to VM so I called the office. They said the best they could do was schedule a driver in another 7 days. Argh! Why me?

Hopkinsville KY office tried to sell us a product for $10,000+. They tested our well water and told us we needed a new system, but they did not test our water from our filtration system that we already had in place. We had to call someone else to look at our existing system, and they told us that it worked fine, but we needed to change the digital water softer level on our system. We did not need a $10,000 system.

June 21, 2019 Mike our salesperson sold us our Culligan whole Home Water Softener. Mike was very knowledgeable and informative. The unit was installed on June 24, 2019. The installers were very polite and made sure we were happy with the location of all equipment before it was installed. After the R.O. System was installed the installer tested and made sure we had good water pressure. We notice the difference in the water.

It's been almost a year that we obtained Culligan for our water softener company. We have never had a problem with the delivery, service or quality of our water system. The service is prompt and courteous.

Got a personal call from the boss after my review . He was professional on the phone and understood my situation. Basically they acknowledge that they made a mistake but that it couldn't exactly be fixed. They offered to move the shed and equipment to a more discreet location on the property and some other accommodations in an attempt to make it right. I appreciated the call and respectfully declined the accommodations, not because I am upset or anything , as I stated in my review it wasn't about the money or property it was just about being treated fairly. The call was pleasant and when it ended nothing had really been resolved but the fact that they reached out and made an attempt to do whatever they could is why I am updating my review and giving them another star. I will keep their service due to the call so long as I have no other issues.

My tenants called to cancel Culligan for some reason. Culligan cancelled the service. I called them and told them that the account is in my name and that I play the bill, how is it possible for a random person to call and cancel my account? They apologized and said they would fix it. Well then they called me and said "Well sir since you're now a new customer you'll have to switch to our new system, but not to worry that system is gonna cost you $500 upfront and increase your bill by 100% every month." Needless to say I was furious. I had been with them 10 years before they made me a new customer because one of my tenants tried to cancel it, which they cannot do, so what happened you might ask... Well I got screwed, no one else in my part of town offers the service and they know it. I screamed my way to the top and they don't care so long as they have your money.
Well I have good news for Culligan. In 17 months we have a new company coming to town. I currently have 22 people who have agreed to switch (19 being family). See what Culligan didn't know was that everyone on my street is related to me. We have kept all the land in the family and we are dumping them day one. New company is running a deal where anyone who agrees to switch within the next year gets a permanent discount going forward. We're trying to get up to 50 ppl in our area to switch and basically chase Culligan off. We even requested yard signs as soon as possible so people driving by will know there is going to finally be fair play In town.... Oh did I mention that this new amazing thing resulted in a giant shed being placed right on the front yard that they didn't insulate and when it froze up told knew I was on the hook and had to pay to have it fixed only 90 days later???
This company is straight up a scam. I'm doing my best to chase them out of our town. Funny thing is no one else on my street has this new expensive system, just me since I was a "new" customer. Unbelievable. Can't wait to throw this shed and pumps in the street in 17 months. It isn't about the money you understand, it's about the fact that they took a customer who had paid his bill on time every month for 10 years and screwed him when they had a chance. Avoid this company and do not buy their new better system which has had to have more service than my old one. The old system worked fine and never had a problem, that's probably why they want to you to switch so they can nickel and dime you w service fees every chance they get.

Nothing but good products and superior service per schedule. Reverse osmosis water treatment gives us a quality water product to drink and the water softener is great for showering and getting soft skin and clothes laundered. Do not have a funky smell from regular water.

After the Paradise Camp Fire, purchased a whole house water filter system from Culligan in Chico, Ca. A $3200.00 purchase out of pocket (insurance co. wouldn’t cover it). All seemed well, and the system seemed to function ok for almost 4 months. On Father’s Day, found the garage flooded from a HUGE leak in one of the two giant tanks. Furniture & contents in the garage either damaged or destroyed. One of the 2 tanks was leaking SO BAD, we had to completely shut off our water to stop the leak. We were promised by the management someone would be here before noon Today to repair the problem. No show, no call, no water either!
By late afternoon, called again. Got ANOTHER promise of ‘it may be after 5 pm, but someone WILL be there’. Still waiting for even a call or update. Nothing! 9 pm... We have a choice of running water (shower, toilet, dishwasher, etc.) to include a flooded garage containing much of what didn’t burn. OR, no water at all but remaining possessions stay dry. Left hanging. I would have been MUCH happier knowing they couldn’t make it when promised. We’ve been through too much already! Just common courtesy would go a LONG WAY! But wait, what’s that? It’s an obsolete way of doing business.

Culligan cannot even schedule salt delivery without messing up. My delivery was scheduled in April with a no show no call. When I called and spoke with the manager Steve he did not apologize or make it right. Totally regret doing business with this company. Overpriced and customer service is nonexistent.

We did a side by side comparison of Culligan Water from our neighbors home and my water from Pelican, the no salt system. Our water started at 15 gpg hard and 236 TDS as was our neighbors. My neighbor with Culligan has zero hard and 8 TDS. My Pelican has 14 hard and 230 TDS. I need to get a Culligan so don’t make the mistake I did for his Pelican was a great story but it was all fiction; it’s not a softener. It’s a scam.

I had my system installed in December of 2016. It worked for about a month or two and has not worked since. I called customer service and they said it was my fault because we had a freeze and did not put a heater on it? I have NEVER put a heater on a system in my life. They now want $135 to come out for 30 minutes, and $35 for every 15 minutes after that. Mind you I have never put salt in it since I have had it. I am currently investing in another company and they can come pick up their worthless system. Put it on my credit. I do not care!!!

I relocated from the East Coast to Texas. The water is much different here. Within a couple of months we "had" to purchase a whole house water softener and the indoor water filter system. You cannot live in Texas without these products on your skin, hair, hands or laundry or if you want to drink water. IT MATTERS and makes a huge difference!

For over 20 years I have rented and owned Culligan softeners. Culligan regularly and exclusively serviced and delivered their products under the Privilege Program. Recently, extensive renovations on my home required plumbing services. All toilets and sinks were leaking due to corroded pipes caused by hard water!!! Upon further inspection, it was clear ALL copper pipes and connections were badly affected. Also, Culligan's customer service, from home office to local office is deplorable. When I tried to resolve a billing/delivery issue, I was left dissatisfied. Culligan deserves a zero star rating...but I had to choose.

I would not recommend this company for a water Softener. I have owned my Softener for 4 years now. Today I called to have someone come out for Maintenance as I don't think it is working properly. I was quoted over the Phone that the charges would be $99 for the first 15 minutes then $34.50 for each 15 minutes after. This comes out to 202.50 per hour. I THINK THEY ARE RIPPING PEOPLE OFF WITH THESE PRICES.

I have had a Culligan Water Softener for 8 years now. The original system required replacement after 4yrs, and now after 8yrs, the control valve has stopped working. I diagnosed the failure this time myself, since the last time Culligan visited my home, it was an example of incompetent field service. I had to call Culligan head office to motivate proper service. I have no complaints about head-office staff! Head-office is responsive and gets the job done.
This time, I texted the office admin photos of the replacement parts I needed before arriving. I was told they had one in stock and would put it on hold for me. Different story when I actually arrived. On pricing the replacement control valve assembly, the admin punched some numbers into a calculator, and two of them stared at it for ~20sec, before one of them said it was a non-negotiable $560. That was after the admin said it would be $271.33 in the text message, and the parts guy said it was around $1400. Finally, do not expect more than 4yrs of service from the controls valve assembly (Gold or Platinum series). If Culligan decides to contradict my account, I have the text messages to back up my account.

We purchased a Culligan whole house system w/ osmosis 13 years ago. No problems until about 1 yr ago. I called, they came out and "fixed" it in October 2017. Then, the system still wasn't "fixed" correctly. I called them back. We had no water pressure. I called the county for a pressure test and from the street to my home it was good. Culligan came out again in January 23, 2019 and I explained about no pressure. I was told by the "knowledgeable" tech to bypass the system. After paying over $6000, I cannot use my system? Give me a break. I was also told that to enter my house, I had to pay $140. Not going to happen. I paid $90.
I was told that the lining had worn out. They took my tank and had it for 3 weeks and finally scheduled a return visit for installation in one more week. On the day of the scheduled visit, no one called me. I waited all day and finally called them. I was told during several phone calls: "the installation won't be today, it was on the truck that got stuck in the snow", "it is in our warehouse and never was on the truck" and was told it would be the following Friday for reinstallation which would be another week of no soft water.
I finally went to Culligan, asking for a manager. I became unglued on them. They scheduled a delivery date for Monday. Two men brought it out and reinstalled it. It was fine until Wednesday when my husband saw standing water next to the tank. He opened the electrical board and water came pouring out. That's just dandy!! I called the manager again about this problem. A tech showed up and told me he could bypass the salt sensor and we "didn't need it anyway. My question: "Why is it on there and shouldn't we just fix the problem instead of bypassing it?" I was interrupted and talked to like a toddler. I got angry and told him to fix it and fix it correctly. That made him mad.
The service people are extremely unprofessional. He came back the next afternoon, showed me a beige wire and explained that the sensor wire had been changed from the beige one to the "new" black one and it was fixed." As he went out the door, he called me a ** under his breath. This was late Thursday and I was told I would have to pay for the visit... Not on your life was I paying a dime. On Saturday, no water in the brine tank and no water from the reverse osmosis faucet. I called and was told that the actual service manager would come to repair it tomorrow morning. We will see. Do NOT BUY A CULLIGAN!!!

Been with Culligan for some time. Last time before this time, when they came out, they messed up my pressure. I really didn't want to call them anymore but plumber I called bypass system and it was like brand new pressure. So I called to service and see what problem really is Culligan service. They came out, but first couldn't find us. They didn't do like they usually do, come check then work. This time they want to talk for like 5 minutes performing water test not asked for. Didn't know we have all three machines even though he is the last one came out. Now bill time and bill is double what I'm used to paying. No way!!! Now tech says one thing but says he will let guy in charge know it shouldn't be so high because I wouldn't pay it either. Now get a call with bs explanations that they are really trying to recoup for me. Not wanting service anymore.

Our whole house system failed after a few years. Tech showed up to repair and discussed the issues. All set...good as new, or so we thought. Later on, my husband went in to shower and I was brushing my teeth. My husband came yelling to me, “Don’t get in the shower”! It’s straight brine! I had just opened a new toothpaste, never used the brand before and thought, “Oh no, this is so salty and weird, doubt I will use it again”. Immediately My mouth is sore and I now have bumps and numbness on the roof of my mouth.
I called and was told it will cost $195 for someone to come to the house after hours! I have sooo many other issues with them and their rudeness. In the past I called to ask about what is this or that and was told, "Go online and look it up." When we purchased we had the slickest salesman. THAT my friends is key. Ya know, all about the “FAMILY”. Best Customer Service known to man, blah, blah, blah. I have autoimmune disease and these bumps in my mouth better go away!
