Upon inspection a dire emergency is reported and the technician announces he has found a problem much greater than the use of my fireplace. He reports the terracotta flu that houses the HVAC is cracked and requires special plumbing to prevent it from leaching co2. None of which work he is interested. Though he will clean the chimney and make these essential repairs but instead of the $79 it will be $637.95. Although you must act immediately as your tenant is in grave danger of co2 poisoning.
He is there under two hours. I understand from my brother he was cleaning the flu (which has a door to pull the stuff out) but otherwise no other equipment or what not was used. So what's up with the odd charge? When I inquired about the charge being so high the owner basically told me I was the least of his problems - he had way more experience with much more and that should i refute the charge he will place a lien on my property.
Buyer beware. I didn't do my homework THIS TIME. The risk at $79 seemed small but I let a wolf into my home and he took advantage of the situation with FEAR.
Now I'm faced with having a reputable company come in and do an inspection as I have no confidence in the work.
We called this company to come out and sevice our fireplace, we couldn’t get the gas pilot light switch to turn on. They quoted us $79.99 over the phone plus any additional parts needed, they came out and within 10 minutes they had turned on the pilot light so we said thank you to the service tech and he went outside. A lady knocked on the door just after and said she would take our payment and give us the receipt. She said the bill was $175 I said no we were quoted $79.99 from the owner on the phone. They proceeded to charge our card the $175 and said we could call the office if we had any disputes.
I contacted the owner Leo and he said he would speak to his tech and call me back, a few hours later and he never called back. I called again, he said he was about to call and would get back to me. Still no call back, a few days passed so I decided to call again and Leo answers and says that I am bugging him and if I wanted to call back on Monday then I could to discuss the bill. So I called back today Thursday to give him a few extra days to settle the issue with his tech over charging us and he cursed me out on the phone and threatened me. Totally unprofessional and not a stand up business! BEWARE!!! SHADY BAIT AND SWITCH TACTIC!
