ARS Tucson Russett Services, ARS Rescue Rooter Price Gouging Tucson, Arizona
When in my home to check out my heating system the technician showed me that the capacitor in one furnace was below spec. I asked the price and was told $170. I then went online and found that this part generally sells in the $10 to $20 range. When confronted with this the technician lectured this former CEO about how his company has to make a profit to stay in business!
A second technician came to check out my hot water heater as part of that same service. He pointed out correctly that the anode rod was practically gone. He quoted $305 as the price of that part. I again went online and found the exact part for $18 but got no Business 101 lecture.
Needless to say I did no purchase either of these items.
