My home warranty company sent Andy’s Statewide to my home to fix my problem. I was told there were major problems (which I knew—it was an old unit) that would cost $1,300 and there were additional code violations/upgrades that I would have to pay for ($300). My warranty company informed me the code violations were not covered and I would have to pay for them myself. I asked Andy’s Statewide what specific violations they were referring to. They could not specify. I asked my warranty company if I could get a second opinion and they let me call my local heating and cooling guy. He confirmed there was a major problem, but no code violations. He fixed the problem for $1,100 (saving my warranty company $200) and saving me $300 for (bogus) code violation. These guys from Andy’s Statewide are either incompetent or crooks. Considering their prominence; I suspect the latter.
