United Air Temp came out twice and system still broke
United Air Temp came out twice and completely misdiagnosed my HVAC issue.
They kept blaming my thermostat, saying it was causing a fuse to blow—so instead of actually finding the problem, they removed my Nest and Ecobee and replaced them with basic thermostats. If a fuse is blowing, that’s a deeper issue. They just didn’t want to diagnose it.
They also told me I had a refrigerant leak, but instead of finding or fixing it, they just added more refrigerant and left. No real diagnosis—just a temporary patch.
I even have a spring and fall maintenance plan with them, and they still couldn’t figure it out.
I brought in my own HVAC technician, who actually diagnosed the problem correctly—an electrical issue that damaged the refrigerant line. Repair cost me $1,910 .
Then American Home Shield refused reimbursement because I had already fixed the issue—after their contractor failed twice.
At that point, the problem isn’t coverage—it’s that I paid for a service and still had to solve it myself.
2 visits, wrong diagnosis both times
Smart thermostats removed for no reason
Refrigerant leak never properly investigated
Maintenance plan provided no real value
Paid out of pocket for something they should have caught
Would not trust either company to properly diagnose or stand behind their service.
