They charged me over $1000 to fix an a/c unit. They identified the problem but didn't have the part. They then sent me a quote for $1200 to return and fix it. I contacted another company and had the job done for $600.

Avoid this outfit but, if you do use them, don't give them your credit card number before they've do
They ask for your credit card number before they'll take a service booking. Once you give them that you're gone because they can add any charge to it they like without your consent.

What is unethical is for you to try to charge an amount to my credit card without my consent which is what you did! Contrary to you assertion that I was not required to provide my credit card details... Read more
, that is exactly what I was required to do. Check the recording if you doubt me. You tried to charge me $448 for installing (ie screwing on the wall) a controller that is available on-line for $90. The 'installation' took 10 minutes. I complained immediately to you Melbourne manager and she refused to do anything about it. I protested the payment and the bank has reversed it. I should add the the installer spent about half an hour on the phone discussing another job while I waited for him to finish. As I've said to anyone reading this site, my advice is to avoid using your service but, if they do, never give you their credit card details in advance. I would now add to that advice that they should insist on all transactions being done in writing as you will try to 'verbal' them to justify your charge.Similar opinion?

They will charge you hundreds of dollars just for a quote (which should be free)
They will charge you hundreds of dollars just for a quote without doing anything or fixing your device. After that they provide you with another quote to 'fix' your device. Completely useless and exorbitantly expensive ($1000 for one job only???!!!). You will regret for doing any business with them.

Disgraceful Service.
What an absolute disgrace of customer service. I would definitely take my money elsewhere. $5000 good for nothing. Make an appointment an turn up late. No communication why just bad luck.

Great Service from Start to Finish
I have used this company now over a couple of years. Each time they contact me and remind me that my service is due. It's up to me then if I wish to proceed or not. They don't hassle. They turn up when they say they will, they advise the price before you give them the go ahead so there is nothing left as a surprise. The technicians have always called as promised the hour prior to attending and are very thorough and polite. I would highly recommend them.

The Worst Service People I've Come Across from front office to the technician and failure to deliver
Get quotes before using Danicon (Melbourne Heating and Conditioning Repairs) - They pop up on your google search as the first option, don't be seduced by this, take your time and get other quotes from other providers. Flat $239 call out fee, way overpriced - they want your credit details up front and immediately deduct their fee. I initially complained and was told that technicians did not carry credit card IT for customer to pay immediately after service - get with the technology!! Was promised that technician would attend between 7am and 1...Read more
2 noon and would give me a 30 minute call in advance - I stipulated to the sales person that this was critical due to my busy business schedule - I got neither and had to ring their office to find out where he was, no apology, very sensitive and defensive when I complained. I was lied to by service technician when I contacted him by phone with him telling me he had already tried to contact me and had attended at my premises earlier in morning. I checked my phone and did not have any missed calls from him. I asked office does this reduce the initial call out fee of $239 - answer NO so you feel locked in and very ripped off. Service Tech eventually attends mid afternoon, spends ten mins diagnosing tells me I need a new thermostat and a flame igniter, but doesn't have parts with him. I foolishly book him in for the following day and he attends my premises again and replaces the two items mentioned, takes him 20 minutes and they charge $505 in addition to call out fee of $239. The only reason I suffered their service because I needed the heater fixed in a hurry and I paid the price for not shopping around. Rogues from front office to the service technician - would never recommend them to anyone!!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

This company has not responded to 4 emails regarding an itemised account. Technician attended my home for 1 hr 10 mins. This cost was $1100. Half of that amount was deducted from my credit card without my approval. I want an itemised account.

Absolutely Shocking service all round
Total rip off. Got charged $209 for a service. The technician attended the next day and was there for literally 15mins and while he was in the roof, i climbed the ladder to see what he was doing and he was on his phone on social media. When this was mention to the office, the office staff were very aggressive and couldn't even produce me a with what a full service consists of. Would have never booked these guys if i had seen these reviews.

Hi Deano,
Our technicians use an online app to log all the details of the unit/appliance they are inspecting- the diagnosis, quoting of repairs and creating Technical reports. This would most likely be what the technician was doing.

Based on our experience, do not use this Company
In the week before Easter, we contracted with Melb Heating to service our Ducted Gas Heater, and to quote on replacing our old ducting material. The fee was $220. It all took less than 30 mins. The Gas Heater Unit service took less than 15 mins. The tech just blew out some dust as far as I could see. We received no Tax Invoice or Receipt - even after asking for one, and my request for an itemised listing of what servicing the Gas Unit entailed was ignored. Not at all value for money. No Tax Invoice/Receipt - how can that be?. Clearly we went elsewhere to have our ducting material replaced - and for a much cheaper price. Suggest you all go elsewhere too. Brian

Great service- will use Melbair again
I was actually hesitant to use melbair after reading the negative reviews however I end up calling them to fix my heater and was so happy with the service. They explained everything to me on the booking call. Have noticed a lot of these sites bring out people who expect to pay nothing but get an exception service. These technician are highly qualified and explained to me the issue with my heater in a way I'd understand. This company does deliver and even offered a flat rate fee. I'd deffinitley recommend them.

It's has been a hot all week and our ducted system wasn't working so my old man went and google aircon repairs, and Danicon were top of the search result. A contractor drop by and spent 10mins "testing" or pretending to test the machine and connection and told us its the isolator switch that was broken so we trusted him and paid $239 for call out fees and left never to be seen again. He said to call Danicon again for a quote to fix it. We called Danicon and they quoted us $550 just to replace an isolator switch which my old man blatantly agree ...Read more
on the phone. Mind you this is when I had to step in and questions, how can they charge us $550 for an item that is $50 on ebay or even in clipsal and takes 5 minutes to change??! After doing a few research about Danicon/Melbourne Heating and Aircon, i found this website (thank GOD) and obviously lots of bad reviews from other people already. It was a huge panic mode to stop these guys from coming. Called them again 10mins after our last phone to cancel the order and the lady on the phone went from very polite to a different mode saying its too late to cancel and that they have ordered the parts already. Luckily we give them our credit card number (Never give credit card details to unknown company) or else they would've charged us for nothing! Knowing it was an isolator switch I bought it for $50 from clipsal and i got an electrician mate to check out the problem. After some testing he said it wasn't the isolator switch and was the CIRCUIT BREAKER instead! which we changed in an instant costing me less that $100! If we would've went for danicon and paid $550 they wouldn't have fixed the problem and would cost DOUBLE to fix the problem! Please be warn about this company! Always do your research!

Our evaporative cooling was not working, it's an older unit which one day just failed to turn on. I rang Melbourne Heating and Airconditioning who sent a technition to my house the next day. The man who came out was polite and worked outside using my side gate despite the drizzle (yep rain in the middle of summer).

Appalling - did nothing and expect to be paid for it
I booked a service for a clean and fix of my aircon. The technician couldn't fix it and said he would send me a quote, which is fine - I'm happy to pay for things if its more complicated. However, before they would even quote me they expected me to pay the full call-out fee despite doing nothing for it. There is no way I would use them to actually fix the unit. I regard this as a really dishonest business practice and no way to treat your customers. The sales woman told me this is how they all do business - my experience with honest tradies would suggest otherwise.
