I had the tech from Laird and son come by to get my boiler working, nice enough guy , showed up on time but he could not figure out how the multiple thermostats worked so was going to leave and not charge me because he wasn't able figure out the problem Needing heat , I instructed him to hook up only one of the stats and he told me $250, pretty steep , but I needed heat .I get the bill, $440 total , $132 for diagnostic, which he couldn't do and the agreed upon $250 for 1 hr to hook up stat plus tax . Once the boiler was turned on , it had a Carbon Dioxide reading that was too high and was shut down ,not their fault .The boiler needed cleaning but they could not do it for 3 days, the cost , $550 plus tax , I got another company in a day and a half later at $250 plus tax . at the end of the day , it cost me 440 bucks to hook up a thermostat . Being in construction myself, I understand the complexities of maintenance work, especially HVAC . I found the invoice for work done very detailed which is good, but I find the shop rate abnormally high, and am not happy I got charged $132 for a service that was not performed
- Approximate cost of services:
- $440.00
