MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Time to turn up the heat in Minnesota.
It is also time for a winter furnace tune-up. But the Better Business Bureau has a warning for anyone choosing an HVAC contractor.
The BBB says this is a time of year when homeowners could be taken advantage of, paying for unnecessary repairs — or replacing furnaces that don’t have to be replaced.
Rich Sahli, the service manager for Owens Air Conditioning and Heating, says business is booming.
“Whenever there’s a cold snap, people who haven’t turned on their furnaces immediately start,” Sahli said.
His company is A+ rated by the BBB, but not all are rated so high.
“It’s a good time to ask if technicians are salary or commission, though we like to think most companies are ethical doing things the right way, but there are some on a commission basis that may recommend services or systems that are more expensive and cost you more money,” said Dan Hendrickson of the BBB of Minnesota and North Dakota.
