I called Bishop because I had heard of others who used them. It was a weekday evening call and my furnace had stopped working. The repairman was courteous and at my house for 25 minutes. He replaced a gas furnace ignitor, probably the simplest part on the furnace. The call cost $175 - high but it was an evening. The part cost $320, for a total of nearly $500. The part is very common and widely available for under $30. So I was charged more than 10 times what I could buy it for retail. Of course I expected to pay a bit of a premium, but not 10x. I would never recommend Bishop for this reason.
