Poor communication led to a $287.50 financial penalty, which was compounded by extremely abusive customer service. 👎
I had an HVAC technician on-site who was charging $115 per hour. My HVAC unit needed propane delivery to complete the repair, so I called Fairclough to schedule a fill. I was told to have the tech wait and a truck would arrive "very soon."
The Fairclough truck arrived 2.5 hours later, despite two separate calls during which I was told the driver was "just around the corner." Because of this delay and the misleading updates, I incurred an additional $287.50 labor charge for the HVAC technician to simply sit and wait. Had I been told the that the delivery would take over two hours, I would have sent the technician home and rescheduled, saving significant money.
I called Fairclough to respectfully inquire if they would consider offering a partial credit to help offset the unexpected cost caused by their delay and poor communication. Instead of finding a civil supplier, I was met with an immediate angry, and highly defensive response. The person on the phone yelled at me for the entire conversation, stating I should be "praising" them for their speed. Be that as it may, as a consumer how would I know their timelines and what is a reasonable delivery time? At no point was I treated with concern or respect. It is shocking to call a company to have a civil conversation and receive this level of anger and hostility.
A small gesture of goodwill, even a minor discount on the fuel delivery fee, would have easily resolved this issue and resulted in a decent experience. Instead, their inability to communicate accurately and their appalling customer service response means I must advise others to avoid this company. We have a few more months in this retail space, so making a change would be moot. Should I sway one customer to decide against picking Fairclough, I would be satisfied.

I have nothing but praise for Fairclough. I’ve read the negative reviews here and my gut tells me they’re fake. There are 5s and 1s and nothing in between? Not credible. I had easy time switching tanks from Eastern in new house. Eastern and Yankee are rip offs. That’s number one but also I ran out of propane while I was away last winter in coldest week of year. I came home on a Sunday to a 35 degree house. They showed up 9 am Monday! It doesn’t get better than that. Everyone in the office or who comes here is very nice and professional.

I just switched to fairclough. It was painless and worry free. They removed Amerigas tanks and hooked me right up. Fast service and very friendly. Made in the USA

The technician showed up and removed the tank without even informing me, and the dispatcher called me after the fact to let me know that they no longer serviced cooking propane tanks and that I would need to find another vendor.

Awful customer service. The employees must not communicate with each other, getting phone calls once a week asking for a card number which was provided at least 10 times. Cancel the service, they show up anyways and charge you. Make a change, it’s not done because the customer service employees aren’t making the notes. It’s been never ending issues for the last 2 years. Do not recommend.
