I realized I was running out of hot water early on, around 7am this Saturday morning, but couldn’t do anything about calling in for service since it was too early and I had to be away from home for a couple of hours before calling in for the service call. Before doing so, I measured to see how much fuel I had as I have a 1,000 capacity tank that’s underground. It measured a little over 28 inches which I later found out is equivalent to 600 gallons... I wanted to make it very clear that I didn’t think it was lack of fuel, and told this to Carmen who took my call this morning in the customer service department, specifically because she mentioned that it was noted on my file, that I refused a random fuel delivery back in July when the company decided to give me more fuel, and that if I needed fuel, I might be charged extra regardless of my contract, which upset for the moment, however deep down I didn’t think it was a fuel problem— the long and short of it, was that there was a problem with motor part which was fixed, but Carl (I think that was his name) told me he took motor apart to repair, but that if a problem regarding hot water occurred again, he would switch out and put in new motor. See the main thing about all this, was that I could not be home to wait for service man to come as I had plans to go into Brooklyn that I did not want to change. so, I told Carmen to inform the service man that (1) I would not be home; (2) that I was leaving side door to cellar unlocked so he could go downstairs in cellar to check out fuel burner; (3) that if he wanted to check fuel tank, I left measuring stick in my garage that I left side door unlocked so he could use it ; (4) explain what Carman told me that I may be charged additional money due to fact that I denied Hart’s random delivery back in July, because at that time I didn’t think I needed more fuel especially since it was summer time; and, (5) lastly, that the service man give me a call back afterwards to apprise me of what the problem was. I was just so impressed by both Carmen and Carl, with how all my concerns were relayed, and that they were handled in a very courteous, straightforward and professional manner. I felt as if I were leaving my concerns with family members, and that I was treated as such in return. I had felt this way initially about Hart Home Comfort. —- that’s why I decided to sign up with them. The customer service and three different servicemen I had seen up to date we’re first class gentlemen— crispy clean, seemingly competent, (good-looking !☺️ ( although I didn’t see what Carl looked like, but he sounded cute!😄🙃— the only thing that I did get a little upset about was when I was told that if it ended up being that I did in fact need fuel, despite the fact that I now was under contract, the company might charge me extra since I denied that random fuel delivery back in July, when the company knew the background information regarding my two service calls initially, where I was not under contract! That fuel guy st that time, even told me that not to worry, it wasn’t a big deal... ( I had just pulled out of my driveway when I saw the Hart Home truck waiting for me to pass, when I happen to ask him if he was planning to give me a fuel delivery.... that’s when I explained the background story) and how I felt strongly that I had plenty of fuel, and he said okay, that it was not a big deal.....however it would have been a big deal to me if that would have been the case today. I’m glad I measured fuel tank to try to assess that I still had plenty of fuel— but I would have been very very upset if Hart would have charged me extra if that had been the case, especially since at that time, I was not advised of the consequences! So, as I said previously, aside from this, I’m happy with the fact that I felt comfortable enough to trust a serviceman to check out fuel burner etc., without be having to be there. Thank you!
