Greencare heating Services LTD GC Heating SIMON SHARIATI, GC HEATING IS DISHONEST. TRIED TO CON ME OUT OFF OVER $400 FOR REPAIRS NOT NEEDED. Coquitlam, British Columbia
My Gas fireplace was serviced by Simon from GC heating. After servicing, Simon approached me and asked that I join him in our living room as he had found a problem with the fireplace. Waving his gas leak detector over the valve, Simon claimed his detector was showing a Gas leak. Simon informed me that the valve needed to be replaced. Not smelling gas myself and shocked at a quote of over $400 for the repair and feeling there was something dishonest about him, I decided to get a second opinion. My Fireplace was inspected by another company, there was no Gas leak and my fireplace is working fine!!
I was told by the second service company that it is not difficult for unscrupulous service technicians to set there Gas leak Detectors to such a sensitivity that they can be made to generate false Gas leak readings. These technicians use this trick in order to sell parts that are not needed. this is what almost happend to me.
Before posting on this site I read similar reports posted by other people, victims of this CON MAN and his copy/paste responses, blaming others for his dishonesty. I can assure you my complaint is legitimate.

The complaints on this site are legitimate. ProGas, its customers and Edddie lowe remain the victims of Simon Shariati and Wilson aka Mehran Shariati from GC HEATING aka Green Care Heating Ltd aka Green Care Carpet Cleaning aka Area Heating and there ongoing misrepresentations, poor workmanship, fraudulent activity and otherwise disingenuous business practices.
Simon acknowledges the understanding of his customers, however he omits these people were ProGas customers until he telemarketed them employing numerous, deceitful and misleading statements in aid of gaining there business.
I have worked hard for 21 years creating a business with loyal customers. This list of customers through years of telemarketing cost Progas and I 100,000s of thousands of dollars to generate and is my property, NOT Simon's to steal because I contracted you to service them.
For greater clarity,
In 2010, you responded too and were hired from a Progas, Craiglist advertisement seeking contract workers.
In December 2011, for a multitude of nefarious activities listed below, which included over 60 complaints, you Simon from GC Heating, aka Green Care Carpet Cleaning aka, Area Heating was fired:
- You owe this company over $15,000 for work you fraudulently obtained without our authorization or knowledge. This work includes but is not limited to repairs, service work, Hot water Tank and furnace installations
I trusted you! Now on your own, you are poaching ProGas customers and speaking ill of Progas falsely stating, claiming and misleading:- that you have taken over servicing from Progas;
You have three problems Simon:My name is Ed ****, ProGas Home Services, 21 years in business. Every thing stated above I can prove. This company 2010-2011 has suffered substantial bad press, including this website and lost reputation, customers, some of 21 years and buisness, because of Simon and Wilson of GC Heating. I invite any of the public reading these posting to call me. I would be more than happy to provide contact information related to the Customer complaints listed about this Con Man and the other 60 odd complaints we received and still continue to learn of.

Response to 967714; the real CON MAN, Edward Lowe.
#3REBUTTAL Owner of company

Dear readers,
The real CON MAN here is Eddie (aka Edward, Ed) Lowe. He was the owner of Pro Gas Heating before he lost his business license because he was lying to customers, employees and contract gas fitters like myself. He would often not pay us for the work we did. If you search his name or the name of his company, you will see what kind of man we are dealing with. Hes good at telling stories and will aggressively bully you until he gets what he wants. He has been doing this for years, even before I knew him.
Many people, including myself, have and are pursuing legal action against this man. The only reason I even know about this site, Ripoff Reports, is because I remember Edward once talking about it. He is very familiar with how this site works so I am not surprised that he knew that it would not allow any phones numbers of customers to be posted. I support websites like this which allow the voices of customers to be heard but please read with a grain of salt. Please remember that anyone can pretend to be anyone else and post whatever they wish.
I know that this is not a real customer of mine, as were any of the others in various reports posted by Edward Lowe because I have never heard of these names nor from these people themselves. As a small business owner, I work very hard to keep my customers happy. In fact, I have many satisfied clients who continue to use my services and recommend me to their family and friends. My biggest mistake with becoming associated with Edward Lowe and Pro Gas Heating. I was naive when I began working with him and when I realized first hand what kind of dishonest human being he was, I immediately stopped working for him.
To my authentic customers reading this, thank you for your understanding and continual support through this matter.
