After the diagnosis of total failure and immediate replacement called the original outdoor unit is working great. Just measured the temperature across the evaporator and it was nearly a 20 degree drop. Residential units don't get any better than that. Real scam artists. Meanwhile the homeowner is still paying off the indoor unit these con artists replaced 4 years ago. Fortunate for this crew of thieves I have reformed my violent demeanor. Were I a true buddhist I wouldn't even be posting here, but I have yet to embrace all the tenets of the philiosophy.

sometimes it takes a minute or a year for cases to prove themselves out.
Here we are in the middle of the toughest cooling season in recent memory, and the outdoor unit described above is running as well as t ever has without even a hiccup. The same unit that Gold Medal insisted would never run again and had to be replaced immediately.
I am no longer a man of violence, in fact I pride myself on being a peacemaker. In that respect fortune has indeed smiled upon Gold Medal and their tech's. I've hunted people for much more minor insults.
MAY PEACE AND BLESSINGS BE WITH YOU ALL.

An anonymous source, from and unnamed town somewhere in America. A man who claims intimate knowledge of "all there(sic) work" and "know they meet all code requirements and do what is best for the customer... for a fair price".
This purported code official has appointed himself the spokesmen for all code officials in the many towns while simultaneously setting a fair pricepoint for Gold Medals contracted work and claiming to know every aspect of every job undertaken by Gold Medal and its successful completion. This is knowledge unknowalbe to the code inspector of any town, unless of course he or she is in the employ, or stands to gain from an endorsement.
This relationship, were it a factual one, is not only a conflict of interest and unethical but also a violation of township and state bylaws for code inspectors. Just the fact that this endorsement has been either solicited or publicly voiced is unprincipled, seemingly corrupt and devoid of any veracity.

i am the town plumbing inspector for a town gold medal services, I have 22 years of experience in the field and fully licensed. Gold Medal is the most professional, honest and reliable company i and other plumbing inspectors have delt with. I am confident with all there work that inspecting there work is easy because i know they meet all code requirements and do what is best for the customer. The "flyby" or so called "handy plumbers" are the most dangerous option a consumer can make. If they get hurt at YOUR house, YOU are responsible for them because YOU hired a non professional, non licensed, non experienced person, not even mentioning the hazardous conditions they can start by installing things wrong. Gold Medal has been in service for probably 50 years (or so) for a reason, they deliver the best quality service for a fair price simply stated, its impossible for a rip off company to last this long.

...when the profit gained from the successful scams that go unreprted or even wholly undiscovered by the unwary.
Neither of the incidents I experienced where reported to the BBB. People just don't have the time for that kind of extra drama in their lives, and the dishonest contractopr banks on that fact.
So Gold Medals defense of the charge of dishonest contrator is, "Every time we get caught we go and make it right."
It follows that the times you don't get caught you can laugh to yourselvers, cash that really nice check and congratulate our independent contractors for a job well done.
Had I not been in the right place at the right time for these two homeowners, Gold Medal would have, in all likliehood got away with another one, just as they did on the original work for my mobile home owner.
