Be Aware of FRAUD and unethical pricing with Winter Furnace Repairs

October 25th, 2010 No comments

 Beutler Air Conditioning Service is blatantly overcharging  by up to 1000% For parts to prepare furnaces for the winterThis action will affect hundreds if not thousands this winter.

 

Beutler dispatched a tech to a clients home recently as part of a prepaid maintenance contract. The tech recommended replacement of three parts on the furnace.  All furnaces 10 years old or just out of warranty will receive at least these recommendation.
The tech initially stated $600 for the parts and eventually $500 for the parts. I signed the home improvement contract and paid with a credit card. The next day, feeling uneasy about the cost of the parts I researched them and discovered that the parts actually cost less than $75.00. I was overcharged more than $425.00 for the parts. I contacted Beutler’s Operations manager, Bill Roberts, on 21 Oct. He became contentious immediately which is the true sign of something not right.  Rather than review his inventory prices, he initially tried to accuse me of bad research by saying I didn’t have the right prices, but quickly dropped this lie. He then told me the $428 overcharge was the markup of their parts and it included consideration that a trained tech was replacing the parts and a 2 year warranty was included. This is all a LIE. I have a two year Home Service plan with Beutler that grants me a 2 year warranty on all repairs already. The tech was on site as a result of the scheduled Home Service Plan tune-up and no labor was charged. The prices of the parts were created on the spot based on the tech’s perception of my ability to pay (nice house) and not a real price catalog.! I’m sure beutler’s records will show multiple prices charged for the same items. In my opinion this company acted fraudulently and unethically and refuses to correct its error while fabricating more untruths.


The three items were for a York Furnace. 

Based on retail internet prices;
Hot Surface Ignitor – $39.00 (max)  (actually $29 – $39)
Blower Capacitor – $18.00
Rollout Switch – $14.40
Total Cost = $72.40
Total Charged by Beutler $500.00
Overcharge = $427.60
After seeing the parts, it is clear that anyone capable of changing a 9 volt battery could have replaced them in
less than 10 minutes.  No expertise was required.

Beutler and other furnace repair companies will perpetrate this same unethical act hundreds of times over the next few months as people worry about their comfort during the upcoming winter.

Consumers must be made aware of these scams during this dire economic time.

Don’t sign anything until you research the part prices.  Call a handy man and save hundreds.
