I recently consulted Worthington Heating and Air, as my A/C unit was freezing up, and had reached the end of its shelf life. Response time was very good, and the man who came to look at the state of my current compressor and heat pump was very nice and seemed to be a well rounded individual. The only issue I had was the $99 fee for them to just tell us what is wrong.
He then sent a salesman over around noon to speak with my fiancé on pricing of a completely new unit. (I was at work ) Not only did he intentionally attempt to price gouge. (Quoted us for three different systems, with the cheapest being $11,500 “I live in a two bedroom three story condo” ). But it appeared that he intentionally unhooked some wires in the basement, so our current A/C wouldn’t work at all, and we would become more desperate, and willing to pay the ridiculous price tag.
I also noticed about three days later that they broke my basement window when they moved my patio umbrella from behind the compressor. This was never mentioned once. So I payed $99 for them to break a bunch of stuff, and intentionally try to take advantage of a young couple desperate for a new system.
I ended up consulting Franklin heating and cooling. They quoted me for the exact same system at $6,998, and didn’t charge a single penny for the consultation. Imagine that...
