I had lindstrom come out to do a AC check up for $69.95. The tech told me my capacitor was going bad, and told me it needed to be replaced. Unfortunetly for me, I had not read the other ripoff report about the price gouging. He charged $225 to replace it. It wasn't till afterwards that I found out that the part is only about $20.00. I could see a $225.00 bill if he had come out on a service call to fix the ac. But he already had the unit open for the check up and it took ten minutes to fix.
Evenb if he charged $75.00 for an hour's labor, and $45.00 for a 80 - 100% markup, that would come to $120.00. I could understand that, but not $225.00. It appears this is common practice for this company. I guess they have to pay for those numerous tv adds somehow. But if they keep gouging people like this, and people report it, these adds won't do them much good.
