  There comes a time in everyone’s life when we have to make decisions on who we are and what we want to represent to the world. In both our professional and personal lives we must stand for something and stand behind something with integrity and honor. I hired this company to repair my boiler as the previous owner had a service contract with them so I found it only right to keep it. Recently my boiler has been experiencing problems so I called the company I could trust. Their fee is $179 to have the technician come to repair the boiler in addition to parts & additional repair time. As a business they are entitled to charge whatever fee they want and as a consumer I can accept or look elsewhere. I decided to accept but I asked that they simply Not simply turn on the boiler temporarily at a fee of $179. Let me make one thing crystal clear I am in no way expecting everything to be repaired for $179 I was expecting and willing to accept additional charges for parts & the technicians work. But what I did not expect was for the technician to turn on the boiler and for it to stop working three hours later. My conversation was that my boiler is fairly new and there was two parts that needed to be replaced assured me that his work would keep the boiler running and the parts that needed to be replaced were to prevent the boiler from failing in its entirety. Three hours after the technician left the boiler stopped working. I called the office and left a voicemail. I informed them that the boiler as well as the hot water was not working and I waited for a return called. my illness was triggered by the extreme cold and I was hospitalized that evening. When I called the office back a day later I was told that I had to pay another $179 for the technician to return to “fix” the boiler again all this while they work on invoicing and ordering the parts that I needed. I know I’m from a different time when integrity was more dominant, and people backed their workmanship with guarantees.

  I called air Specialities on a referal from a friend. My air conditioner was blowing hot air. The tech tested the unit and determined that the capacitor was bad. He quoted me $373.00 plus labor, the total bill was $583.86. The tech installed a generic Turbo 200 capacitor that can be purchaced on line for $55.85. I called the owner Bob and asked him about the price and he stated the book says $373.00 and there is nothing he can do about it. I will never use this company again and the friend who refered me will not either.

  Hi *****- I would just like to clarify the repair that was performed at your home. Our diagnostic charge as explained before we set up the appointment is $176.00 plus tax. Once the problem is determined then a repair price plus tax is given upfront before proceeding with the repair.. Once it is ok'd by the homeowner we proceed. The repair price of $373.00 includes the part and labor to install the part, the diagnostic charge is a separate charge. There is not a labor charge on top of the $373.00. So the diagnostic charge of $176.00 and repair of $373.00 plus tax = $549.00 plus tax of $34.86 = Total $583.86 I hope this clears up any misunderstanding about our charges and how we conduct business. Had you decided not to have us perform the repair, we would only charge the Diagnostic Charge of $176.00 plus tax and would have left and parted as friends. Bob Bradley President Air Specialties
