A while ago, I posted a question about the subject. I appreciate those gave good suggestions. I did not sign the $7000 contract to have a new one installed. But I did risk the CO issue. I have installed two digital readout alarms in two separate bed rooms...two months into using the furnace (heater), the reading on both still show zero. Likewise, the contractor was scamming. Any idea how we should stop this? I do believe business in good standing and good ethics should be back padded and have their name known. But, I don't know how to handle the bad ones.
A new A/C/Furnace System?
Filing complaint with the Better Business Bureau is the best way to do this. Many consumers check with the BBB before signing a contract so you will be helping a great many people.
The local chamber of commerce should also be notified. A contractor tried to scam me once and just the THREAT of this action changed his whole attitude.
Reply:A good start is turning them in to the better business bureau. Also at my source you can give the details and it will be posted to alert others. You can help those in your city and area to avoid the scammers. After awhile they will be put out of business.
Reply:DIY pro is right on. Your local BBB should be notified. You may also want to check with your local city hall and talk to whoever issues the license he has to work under in your community.
Remember also that word of mouth advertising is always the best advertising for any contractor. If your neighbor recommends a business, and you trust your neighbor, you have a good chance of getting a good job done.
This can also work the other way, if you know what I mean. Make sure you give this crook LOTS of advertising. He will appreciate it, I am sure. LOL
