Default I had my furnace repaired & they charged me over $700--and theguy was only there a total of 40 minutes.

My furnace wasn't working, so I called Cole heating / Plumbing
Services based out of Garden Grove, CA.
I was charged $320 for the transformer replacement
$290 for the hot surface ignition
$99 for a maintenence fee & $25 for something else I couldnt even read-
his hand writing was so bad.
HE WAS THERE FOR 40 minutes! No more.
Please tell me if anyone knows how above average this pricing
is ........
*I read somewhere if any furnace repairs are over $500, then its time
to buy a new one anyway.
Is that correct? If so, why didnt he mention that?


Ive had contractors rip off my parents and myself, I just stop pay on
the check and renegotiate. I know at the time you paid you did not
have the suspision to research the bill.
