Maintenance

Heating & Air Conditioning review in Calgary

We bought a full set of “high end” appliances from trail two years ago. Since then the microwave has failed twice, the fridge once and dishwasher once. The warranty service has taken weeks and in some instances months to get these issues addressed. They over book their repair people and have no interest in getting our work done. Very disappointed.

hot water tank replace

Water Filtration & Purification review in Calgary

We hired the trail Appliances to replace the hot water tank 2 weeks ago, the cost was around $1000. after then, we can't take the shower. because sometimes when you were taking the shower, the hot water stopped,only cold water. sometimes no cold water, only hot water. we have two hot water tanks, one was replaced last year and another one was replaced two weeks ago by the trail appliance. we can't trust this company any more.

it is very horrible.

Install Water Softener Kinetico Model 650

Water Filtration & Purification review in Calgary

Simple and effective. Scheduled, showed up on time, installed on time, with minimal disruption to the house water supply, and the system works great. The folks left the area clean, and put down pads to get through the house and left access areas clean as well. They took the time to explain the simple regular maintenance required, as well as the operating modes. This is the way any mechanical work should be done in your home.

Fisher Pykal double door dishwasher

Garage Doors & Hardware review in Whistler

Bought the dishwasher brand-new. Its control panel did not work for the bottom drawer. Trail sent a repairman - it took two visits??? That's two days off of work, missed dollars to fix a new dishwasher. Mgr Dave called - didn't really care as he said it will be fixed. Said he would email - he didn't - no service, no compensation! don't buy from them!

lemon microwave

Appliance Repair review in Calgary

Long story short, they like to waste time fixing lemons and trying to charge you for labor despite having it under warranty. Luckily we have an extended warranty. They've had our microwave for 3 out of the 14 months we've owned it! Yes 3 MONTHS in total, 3 different service calls!!!! its absurd. We will never buy appliance from there again!

Fridge not installed and damaging cabinetry

Appliance Retailers review in Okotoks

A year and a half ago we built a home with Sterling where we were expected to use Trail Appliances to purchase our appliances.

We met with a sales person names Jennifer B. We found a fridge that we liked and asked Jennifer if it would be possible to have the fridge installed without the top grate (it's a side by side fridge and freezer). Upon moving in, our fridge kept sliding out and wasn't even. It was eating at the cabinets on the side of the fridge from the movement. We had Trail Appliances out three times to try to fix it and it was never any better. Finally, a third company came out to look at our fridge. We were informed that they had failed to use ANY of the installation pieces on our fridge/freezer. It wasn't actually installed AT ALL. When we contacted Sterling Homes AND Jennifer about this, we were told that they would give us the installation kit but would not install it for us. I couldn't figure out why they wouldn't provide this service to us since it was missed initially and then realized that the installation kit would not fit on the fridge/freezer with our current cabinet dimensions. They would have to replace the cabinets as well. Neither Trail Applainces (Jennifer B) or Sterling Homes would take responsibility for this mistake. We are not going to have to either pursue small claims court or pay for the installation of the fridge AND the cabinet modifications ourselves and we will be out thousands of dollars. I am LIVID with the blatant lack of responsibility for this mistake that was made by Jennifer B and Trail Appliances. I will NEVER purchase an appliance from them again CANNOT recommend Trail Appliances due to the terrible customer care post-purchase.

We are sorry to hear about how unhappy this customer has been regarding the appliances they purchased from our Trail Appliances Calgary South location.
Following is a review of the customer file after receiving this complaint.

Customer came in and met with their salesperson and made their appliance selection based on their requirements and preference.

Customer selected a Frigidaire All Fridge (Model # FPRU19F8RF) & a Frigidaire All Freezer (Model # FPFU19F8RF) and were delivered out approx. Oct 2016. Frigidaire offers a optional trim kit at approx. $400.00 (additional cost for install was $200.00) for these units to give the allusion of being built in, the customer was offered this option at time of selection and chose to not purchase the trim kit – they expressed a concern about loss of cabinet space by having a trim kit installed and the cabinet space was what they preferred to have. After the customer made their selections - the specs for the appliances were sent to the builder to arrange the correct spacing for the cabinets - the customer had to sign off on this before it could proceed..
The Frigidaire All Fridge and Freezer are stand alone units and were installed to the specs as per the manufacture guidelines.
Customer has raised some concerns about the install of the units but has been told they are as per installation instructions. Customer was not pleased with this response – therefore their builder offered to cover the cost of the optional trim kit in order to appease the customer but the customer has refused. It has been over 1 ½ years since possession of their new home which is why the builder nor Trail Appliances will not cover the install of the trim kit or the possible alteration of the cabinets as it was not a builder or Trail appliance error.
If the customer had purchased the trim kit at the time of appliance selection there would be no need to alter the cabinets now. Trail Appliances position is the customer made their selection and opted not to go with the optional trim kit which was their choice. The customer has been offered a free trim kit and has failed to accept the generous offer of their builder. It is unfortunate the customer feels that Trail Appliances has terrible customer care post purchase, but in the end it was their own selection that determined the final product in their new home.
Suggested resolution:
The customer’s builder has covered the cost of the Trim kit. They have requested the customer to sign a addendum in agreement for this offer.
Once the builder has a signed copy of the addendum – they will have the Trim kit delivered to the customer

Stay away!!

Appliance Repair review in Vancouver

They will sell you something they don't have and then not deliver as agreed. after the agreed time passed, they are not even able to tell when it will be available. all they tell me someone will call be back. nobody calls back. seriously, shop somewhere else.

New furnace and water heater

Appliance Retailers review in Toronto

Initial quote was expensive
But the tech that came to my place (Rob) made great recommendations on the best solution for my case. It was not the most expensive option. It was the adequate solution given my place.
Had to negotiate and compare other quotes but eventually their price was comparable to others.
The installation was perfect. On time, no mess, great communication

No Warranty Service

Appliance Retailers review in Calgary

We were sold appliances at Trail with their one stop warranty service promise. We told the salesman that the appliances were to be used in Fairmont Hot Springs. When the gas stove failed they told us that they could not service it as they had no service technicians in the area. They initially agreed to pay for the part and I could arrange with a local licensed gas fitter in the area to install the part but later reneged on their offer. They suggested I contact Jenn Air directly. They would not deal with the factory on my behalf. Their only offer was to has the gas fitter remove the appliance ship it back to Calgary. Very poor customer service.
