I hired Ray Lopez (RL Services) On the advice of a buddy of mine to help with a big job I had installing AC units in a new apartment complex. I was a little short on cash so I went with his offer which was lower than other bids I received. Mistake #1. You get what you paid for. When we met for the first time I thought it was a joke. He looks like he was 16,3 foot nothing, 100 lbs soaking wet.
Now I've smoked a little pot in the 70's so I know that his bloodshot eyes weren't from pulling an all nighter. I should've gotten rid of them right then but I was running short on time to get the job finished.
They got to work installing, and everything seemed fine until I checked their work. I don't know how he got his license because almost every unit was installed wrong. AC work is pretty straight forward, there is only one way to do it. This idiot must've smoked himself stupid because he couldn't tell his @$hole from a drain pipe.
After being confronted and claiming it was my fault due to bad instructions him and his crew left, claiming they would be back the following day to correct the work.
The next day they never showed. Coils were missing along with a large amount of copper fittings/pipe were taken. For those who don't know, copper pipes and wire are a favorite of drug addicts and degenerates to steal because they fetch a pretty penny at scrap yards.
The day after that they came back, red-eyed and claiming ignorance for the missing equipment. I have asked around different shops about them and come to find out they have a reputation for poor work. I am still trying to get them to fess up and make whole what they have taken from me. I finally got the job finished, over budget and past the scheduled due date.
Be warned about Raymond Lopez and RL Services. They are druggie theives who seem to not know a thing about AC repair. It's my fault for not checking them out closer before contracting them out for work but at least I can help other HVAC companies from making the same mistake I did.
