Customer Survey – 2007

(Total Surveys Sent = 36, Response Rate 31%)

Recently we conducted a survey of a small sampling of our customers. We sincerely appreciate those who took the time to respond despite your very busy schedules. We received many helpful and thoughtful suggestions - many of which we are in the process of implementing. Those suggestions that aren't implemented immediately will be researched for future implementation.

We were very pleased with the responses and thought we would share them with you.

The new voice mail system will record your message and then automatically page our on-call technician with the message. How do you feel about this change?

1 Negative change
4 No Preference

  Please explain your preference. Please explain your preference.
  • I really like leaving a message with a live person, there is something satisfying about knowing your message has been received and dealt with without a return call… I also like low prices and profitable vendors. It's not so much the system as it is the company using the system. I don't worry about Advance.
  • Positive as long as response time is good.
  • Talking to a machine never guarantees a response.
  • Don't care about the method as long as a call back happens quickly - quickly being less than 15 minutes.
  • Talk directly to tech, less confusion, faster response.
  • Usually not life-threatening.

  • I like viewing the additional capabilities that the contractors I deal with have outside the normal HVAC maintenance and replacement work.
