Avoid schemes: How to stay cool and save money during the hot Utah summer
HVAC company owner Carson Duda says too often consumers are duped into paying for unnecessary repairs, sometimes costing them thousands of dollars. He says many customers might not ask the right questions or know much about their units.
Duda says from what he’s observed, customers can be convinced that they need a new heat exchanger when technicians show them a picture of a cracked heat exchanger that isn’t theirs, or by capturing pictures of scuff marks caused by the exchanger’s flames and passing it off as a “crack”. Elevate’s services can include home repair, warranty protection and home maintenance and preventative care services. They also warn their customers about using a company that might not have the best intentions.
“They’re even charging four or five times the rate that they actually get it for at wholesale, so they could just say that you’re four or five pounds low and they charge you $300 or $400 a pound,” says Smith. “Then you’re talking about over $1000 just to recharge the thing.Those skeptical about anything a technician says don’t have to take their word for it.
