We had a similar situation a few years ago. Ended up in court, because we refused to pay their crazy charges, in the end, we made out.

We got ripped off a couple times on service calls - our heater died religiously (ha ha) on Sundays, when they charge the most to come fix it. After two or three calls at about $200 each, one of the older technicians showed my husband how to fix the problem for under $5 in 15 minutes with his own tools.<BR/><BR/>Glad you finally got the heater working anyway!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37267517.post-57947443801485924602007-11-08T15:38:00.000-07:002007-11-08T15:38:00.000-07:00We had the same problem when our ignighter blew la...We had the same problem when our ignighter blew last winter. <BR/>They ripped us off for the cost and when I told them I jsut had a new one installed 2 years before they just shrugged. <BR/>We will never use them again!Tuesday Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816799873933925204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37267517.post-52244899110686690392007-11-08T11:09:00.000-07:002007-11-08T11:09:00.000-07:00Isn't that just the way when something goes wrong ...Isn't that just the way when something goes wrong with a mechanical thing!

If you spill who the company is I'll be sure to pass it along to DH's family who all live in the Calgary area and they own a big distributorship that deals with most service stations in Alberta...I'm sure they would love to pass the name along to make sure they never do business again...hehe.
