HRV レビュー 

Requested a issue 01 to be fixed via contact form on website no reply whay so ever so called up and they can't help need a service department to contact me still waiting for that contact.worst customer service

Installed the filters - quick installation.

The service person arrived, did the job and was magic. A pleasure to have in my home. Efficient and friendly.
Totally different to my bad experience with just trying to get through to them in the first instance, I strongly suggest that HRV reviews their reception/customer communication system as it isn't working.

First installed 3 years ago. Excellant results in all claimed facits. Also wonderful quick support and after service.
Recent visit by James regarding possible upgrade. Lovely to deal with. Full information. No pressure, sensible final suggestions.
We are very happy with HRV in all respects.

We have had nothing but issues since HRV was installed, they happily take the money but the support after is appalling. The system did not work, we still had crying windows all winter, they added another vent and said we will need to see how it goes over summer and wait until next winter to see if it is working. Have now got an error code on the panel so it is not working at all. We booked an appointment for a technician; they have not turned up, I have called them and was told sorry no appointment in the system, we don't have anyone available for 2 weeks now.

Awful service. Happy to take our thousands of dollars for an install and servicing, but the after support regarding parts and support was frustrating and disappointing

OMG! We are building. We got a water filtration system from HRV, when it was installed (by a plumber who wasnt provided any installation instructions), when we got power to it and it did its first recycling of the water, it flooded, 100s of litres of water poured into our garage, destroying gib, pink batts, skirting, furniture and other items. I rang the sales person, twice, no response. It took me going to the home show in Invercargill for the Manager in Dunedin to call me. He blamed the first plumber and asked I organise a second plumber to come and look over the unit, which I did. I now find out that plumber (who is a client of mine) hasnt been paid, a September invoice FFS! I have been backwards and forwards with the Manager, but then received an invoice for full payment, I sent an email back advising of the issues, an apology was issued, we have finally come to an agreement where the invoice would be credit the amount of the destroyed items, but I havent received an invoice yet, I do today receive a statement with very pointed wording wanting paid! I havent received a copy of the invoice or credit. I can not emphasis this enough, do not use this company!!!

Really great work! Team(Eddie / Raj/ Bakhti) were great...friendly, knowledgeable and patient!. Product installed is neat and felt difference straight away. Highly recommend!

I called and booked an appointment on behalf of my elderly parents who are hard of hearing and English being their second language.

But on the day their ex-staff turned up and fixed the problem (I only learned about this afterwards), my parents asked me to cancel the afternoon appointment.

I txt and called HRV to cancel the appointment (without knowing what’s going on at the time)
At the scheduled appointment time, the guy from HRV called asking why no one was home. I explained to him that I had texted and called to cancel the appointment and what poor internal communication they had.

The next day HRV emailed me an invoice for the call-out fee/cancellation fee of $95.
I emailed back to explain that I’m only making and cancelling the appointment on behalf of my parents and how dare they charge me when I did my diligence to cancel the appointment. But they still insisted that I replied Y to their txt confirming the appointment and so there’s the cancellation fee, but in that txt they used the word ‘may’ so they’re a bunch of dicks to still pursue it.

How would you feel if you made a booking at a restaurant on behalf of your friends/work colleagues and had to cancel and then got stuck with the cancellation fees?

This shows HRV has no sympathy and discretion and has become very good at offending its customers.

Don’t get me wrong, the HRV system itself, the idea works fine, it’s just the people who managed it are crooks.

Had a really good experience with HRV when person came to set up the filter. James was thorough in ensuring the HRV filters were installed correctly and recommended area for it to be installed, also explaining how it worked. Also took time to ensure it was running appropriately by running taps on all areas of the house. Am very happy with experience.

Thank you for your response to my previous rating.

You mentioned my HRV was installed in 2008, but failed to mention that I have had my main unit replaced since then maybe 7 years back.

Also your consultant said the fan is slow and the whole system needs to be replaced for over 3k. I have since had someone independent have a look and all it needed was a filter replacement at the time.

I emailed your team the very next day and have not received a response of explanation which is why I have decided to come online.

The HRV has helped with condensation but overall the experience has been bad, and very expensive for how bad the quality is.

It's barely been in two years. We spent over 7k on the AirSense system which is 4 vents, a heat transfer, and a bathroom fan. It took 1 day to install, left insulation pushed over, got the heat transfer kit in the wrong place because their thermostat cable wasn't long enough, the bathroom fan became a joke, and our screen for the system randomly broke and is now very hard to read.

The bathroom filter was installed incorrectly and made a popping sound when turned on. It blocked up after one year with no obvious way to unscrew the vent to clean the filter. I got fed up with so I pulled the vent and duct out myself, untapped the duct and got the dust off the filter to make it work again. Took all of 5 minutes and I would hate to think what they would charge to clean something that you should be able to clean yourself.

We also got the Summer Kit installed at an extra cost not long after the HRV had been installed only to have to get a technician back because the summer kit installers didn't wire it correctly which we noticed only after a few months that our system had stopped working.

They reluctantly sent a technician to fix a problem that their other technicians made and the only reason they didn't charge us was because we were still inside the 1 year warranty.

Their system is a joke, their technicians are unprofessional, and we will be looking in to having it changed to a DVS.

DO NOT USE HRV
customer service is absaloutely shocking, it's so terrible, the worst I have ever come across in my life from any business anywhere!!!
Can almost never get a hold of anyone on the phone, requesting call backs on the phone or on the website still don't get you a call back. The call centre and techs don't communicate, management doesn't check up on problems. Tech's don't even turn up to apppointments or they come way earlier than arranged when you're not there and then don't come back at the correct time. No one seems to care at all and it is rediculous.
I wasted so much time trying to get in contact with them, and then wasted so many hours that I had to take off work for appointments that no one turned up for, only to have a problem fixed that was a fault of the initial install anyway, which never even got noticed at the last service done by them. No one compensated me for my lost time off work and no one even properly apologised for the absaloute mess around I had to deal with for over a month of trying to sort the issue. No one should ever have to deal with such a blatant lack of customer care and incompetence.

After installation of my Heat Pump in late July I experienced issues setting up the WIFI option. After sending an e mail to the original installer with no response, followed up by e mailing HRV direct then followed up further requesting a call back still no response. Iam now worried what sort of support I would receive if I experienced any issues with the unit.

Horrible company to deal with!
They call themselves HRV to pretend they sell an actual HRV system but all they sell is a fan in a box.

Overpriced and an absolutely useless system.

The support is shocking to non-existent unless you pay them big bucks.

We had an issue with a control panel where the unit turned on itself after 8 hours even though we turned it off as we didn't want it to run all the time as it is noisy and doesn't do anything. We called the hotline for advice but all they would tell us is that they can send a technician ($120 callout fee) to put in a code so it would stay off. Redicules, as if there is a malfunction the system would just keep on turning on itself.

Changing the filter each year sets you back $250 per year. And no you are not allowed to simply open the box and do it yourself (this is a 1 minute job). Normal filter like this would cost $20 they charge $100 plus $150 labour/call out.

what went right( not )the manager at HRV wellington will not call me to fix a problem two times they have been to fix it and still no joy RAT DROPPINGS

Good morning,

We had our filters replaced by Holly at 43 Leicester Street Nelson on Thursday. We highly recommend Holly, a very professional, courteous and extremely pleasant young lady. If all your technicians are off the same calibre as Holly you can be very pleased with your training, her Customer Service skills shone through.

Turned up and checked all outlet airflows, told me two weren't working, before he even climbed in the roof to check it out had pamphlets out trying to sell me $4000 worth of upgrades, - minimum replacement of the two non working units - approx $2k, - Told him this is a shakedown, - climbs in the roof and finds both non-working unit cables have detached said that happen working fine now, I advised only HRV servicing's been up there - wasn't interested in that. Changed the filters but told me because installed 2013 now obsolete parts wise, corrosion in fan parts none of which is HRVs problem, - Called their Auckland management twice plus emailed them, finally got back to me telling me needs upgrading/ its old / read the warranty fine print all other issues not interested, didnt want to know about what they ticked the boxes check list on clean all dust ring which didnt happen, stated house had electrical primary heating when all it has is a top of the line Rinnai Gas Fire built in, - Shop elsewhere forget HRV Seriously - grossly incompetent definitely interested in shaking you down $$$ on new unit upgrades - don't want to know about what they installed previously / I advised that its pathetic & another customer gone - PS - Please let everyone know to avoid these yahoos, There must be far better out there. - Peter / Ararimu / Auckland

Richard the New Plymouth service person turned up on time, was polite, knowledgeable and made sure I was aware and understood the different options to resolve the problem with our system (a minor problem). This enabled me to make the most effective decision for us. There was no hard sell sales pitch from him (which is important to me) just clear and concise information. The call centre also responded to my calls in a polite, knowledgeable and helpful way.

I have never had a worse experience with any company as this one. If only poor customer service was against the law!
I have been struggling to get these lazy crooks to do their annual service for my after filtration system for a year now and all they've done is send me around in circles and stonewall me by never returning my calls or messages. I've had to file a disputes tribunal claim just to make them fulfil their basic service obligation! They genuinely, do not care about their clients or appear to hold themselves or their staff accountable to the commitments they make to their clients such as returning their calls. I'm still in absolute disbelief at the experience I've had based on which, I would caution everyone to steer clear of this company. 1 star is far too generous.
