I'm a little bugged right now,,, and I figured, why not write about it. So here's my little gripe. We had our air conditioning serviced today. We have always been good about getting our A/C and furnace checked every 6 months because the A/C is 11 years old and the furnace was 22 years old. Well, last fall we bought a new furnace to the tune of $5000. It is a very nice furnace---at least that what the salesman told me (of course I did my own research and it really is a good unit).
As the technician was leaving he asked if we would like to continue on the service plan. I told him no thank you--I explained that the furnace is brand new and in the 8 years we have been here their fees have literally doubled. He immediately told me that he guarantees me we will be making a service call in the next 2 years if we don't have it checked each and every fall---some lines about the airflow and the room--blah blah blah. Which of course the salesman said would be no problem.
Isn't it interesting that when they are trying to get you to buy something ---It's the BEST unit around. Then once you purchase said unit--it's all about the SERVICE PLAN, because maybe this unit isn't as good as you thought. HHHHMMMM??? I will take my chances thank you very much.
Bastard!

ReplyDeleteAnd if it did break down, your problem would of course NOT be covered by the plan. Small print, eh?
