My little rant....I feel better now
There are other options, ya knowMy work location has two issues needing to be fixed. No air is coming out of the duct in our office, so it's 86 degrees in there. The other is a light switch not working that turns off all the lights in the building. Both of these issues have existed for over a month now. The HVAC company has been out three times now, and each time we get a different reason why it's so hot in our office. The first was the unit on the roof that supplies heat and air to the office is not working and needs repair, but didn't fix it. The next guy that came out said it was the thermostat for that unit, but didn't replace it. The last guy who came out said the duct was blocked and they would be back the next night to fix it after the store closed. None of them came back, but yet we have been billed for three service calls.
An electrician came out about the light switch and looked at our circuit panel and left without explanation. Another guy came a few days later and said it was a bad light switch that needed to be replaced and he didn't have one with him. He said he had to go to another call, but would be back later that afternoon and if not, the next morning. A few days later, they send another guy. This one said it was not the light switch; that it was an issue with the air duct coming into the office and he would have to come back. This issue is costing us money as the lights covering more than 20,000 sq ft are on 24/7.
What the hell is wrong with companies today?

The decision isn't mine on who fixes the problems. Corporate makes those decisions.Boss you get what you pay for cheaper is rarely better. These guys are incompetent. Call Mr. Effing Electric or cousin Billy Bob and that's what you get. There are pretty much two possibilities on the lights, bad switch or bad contactor. It is a simple fix but it cost money there are no magic wands. PM me and I can hook you up. I imagine GD can help you out too.
And it’s usually a friend or family member of one of the owners. My son at his store and my daughter at her work have the same issues.The decision isn't mine on who fixes the problems. Corporate makes those decisions.
We do not do commercial work...
Because the folks at the buildings put endless restrictions on what and when we can do things...
And given the issues with identity theft...
There is NO WAY I am gonna leave my DL (drivers license) with some clerk while I work...
Google: Facilities maintenance contractor problems... read up on it from the perspective of the contractor doing the work...
It is a nightmare... and in the trades, most of us will not do work for them... because they do not pay well... IF you ever get paid!
We don't hold their drivers license while they are there. We just have them sign in and out of our vendors book.We do not do commercial work...
