Don’t be fooled by pricing scams

Nothing Is Free In Cancun

AC repair Boise pricing is not all as it seems.  We have all heard variations of the saying, but my favorite is “Nothing is Free in Cancun”.  I came up with this versions while on vacation in Cancun with my children.  We went to see one of the many ruins in Mexico and one of my kids had to use the bathroom.  As he approached the public bathroom a young kid about his age told him it was 2000 pesos ($0.50) to use the bathroom.  After that it was coined forever anytime something was to good to be true, or priced ridiculously it was said “Nothing is free in Cancun”.

With this in mind I want to speak to all of you about pricing in the ac repair industry.  Over the last 33 years I have seen many changes in this industry.  Two that are particularly irritating to me have to do with pricing.  The first is the “trip charge” or service call.  This is the amount you pay to have them show up and tell you what is wrong.  Normally this is their hourly rate and included the first hour of labor.  Recently however there is a new trend where they charge an unreal low trip charge to lure you into calling them only to highly inflate the repair.  See these companies figure they are already out there, so the chances of you calling someone else now is not very high.  Thus they have you!  Do not be fooled by this, call for a second opinion or price quote.

Second Opinions

The 2nd pricing trick is really labeled “Nothing is free in Cancun”.  For this one they send you a flyer telling you they are overstocked on furnaces and if you HELP them out by buying one of these furnaces they will gladly give you a FREE air conditioner in return.  Of course they will!?   Companies that use this ac repair Boise pricing scam are insulting your intelligence.  Truth is you are going to pay about $5000 for a furnace, ac and coil.  Or your going to pay about $5000 for a furnace and coil,  then get a free ac unit.  Most local companies do not even stock furnaces and ac units.  There is no need to, we have local distributors who stock all the equipment.  Do your homework when calling a repair company.  Here at ac repair Boise we are here to help.  Remember “Nothing is Free in Cancun”.
