Boy this really burns me up.... really burns me up....
To start I live in somewhat new area, the houses are in most case less then 3 years old and there is NO gas in the area so its all electric.
There was a flyer on my door about a furnace check.
Don't go though the winter with a bad furnace and take the change of carbine monoxide in your house.
Then there was a bunch of stuff about how many people die for carbine monoxide from their furnace every year.
They would do a check for you for only $25.
I just put mine in the round file as soon as I saw what it was.
Well the poor older lady down the street call the number on the flyer and had them come out and check the furnace.
Now I am sure you know that her furnace was bad and needed to be repaired before it killed her, we all know how much Carbine Monoxide can come out of and electric furance.
The guy brought in a bunch of boxes and was nice enough to carry out all the old parts and was also nice enough to only take a half payment for the job $450 for a half payment.
I just happened to be talking to her that afternoon after he had repaired the furnace. I told her to call the police right then and to call the bank and stop payment on the check.
From what the police said they had been hitting a lot of homes in the area with this furnace repair thing. They hit an area and then move to another one the next day. they were going to try and set up a sting. I hope they can catch this low life $#@$ $%^ @#$%$ %^&#$ guys.
She was lucky, the check was stopped.
I just wish I could get my hands on these people like this. The things I would do, I guess I can't put in the forum.
