On this note, it is important not to do any unnecessary repairs and the internet has some good information about common scams from unreputable companies.  These include the “Cracked Heat Exchanger” Scam, the “Bait and Switch” scam, and the “Duct Cleaning” scam.   An unscrupulous company may try to convince you that there are cracks in your heat exchanger leaking CO gas into your rooms.  This does occur, but it is a very rare event these days.  Always ask for proof, feel free to consult another repair company or phone Fortis B.C.  (Pro Ace is a recommended HVAC company on the Fortis B.C. website.)  A bait and switch begins with an offer of a free inspection (the bait) and then ends with a list of nonexistent problems (the switch) requiring immediate attention.  If you are suspicious, contact another company.  And don’t be persuaded by scare tactics.  It’s a similar situation with the air duct cleaning scam.  A reputable company will only suggest your air ducts require servicing when there is an excessive buildup of mold, dust or debris and will be able to prove it to you.  Here is a good site to consult: http://www.csirouniverseblog.com/beware-of-this-common-furnace-repair-scam/
