After luring my elderly mother in with a great offer of service for $45, repairman stated That after looking at her system, the work needed would cost $875. Being deaf and senile she fell for it, but when I (her daughter) objected suddenly the repair costs dropped to $275. All this was service for a furnace that had been completely rebuilt/replaced less than 6 months earlier. My senile mother had forgotten that she had a virtually ""new"" system. The work recommended amounted to replacement filters and cleaning of the ducts....not much for $875. To their credit, AQB refunded the $275. my mother actually paid them, and they were most apologetic. I asked them to remove Mom's number from their list, but the kicker is that now I am getting daily phone calls from their reps asking if I would like to sign up for a $45 furnace service!! They won't take me off their calling list!!
