How to Avoid Getting Ripped Off by an HVAC Salesperson

How to Avoid Getting Ripped Off by an HVAC Salesperson

From the Desk of Katy Higgins, Owner of True Pros

Hey Neighbor,

I started True Pros because I was tired of the deceitful "games" played within our service industry. Throughout my 20-year tenure, I've witnessed countless sales gimmicks and underhanded tricks—some of which I'm ashamed to admit I participated in during my early days.

It's not to say that every HVAC business out there is out to deceive you, but our industry certainly has its share of bad apples. As my experience grew, so did my frustration with these unethical practices.

That's why I founded True Pros, aiming to bring integrity and transparency back to the HVAC world. Our vision is to not just serve you today, but to earn your trust so that 20 years from now, you'll still think of us first for all your HVAC needs. We're in it for the long haul, hoping that our commitment to honesty will have you recommending us to your children and even your grandchildren.

To help arm you with knowledge and caution, I've written this guide detailing some scams you should be wary of including: 

  • The “Free Furnace” Mirage- The Dirty Secret of the HVAC industry exposed!

  • The Time Crunch Technique – carefully crafted offers that are “expiring” lead to bad decisions.

  • Bait-and-Switch Bonanza – This is the main reason companies often don’t provide itemized billing

  • The “Cinderella Shoe Scam” – where you get stuck with equipment that seems like it fits, but actually doesn’t.

  • The “Dangerous” Heat Exchanger Scam - How fake evidence leads to big profits for companies.

  • The “Dangerous” Heat Exchanger Scam - How fake evidence leads to big profits for companies.

Remember, knowledge is power. Always trust your gut, do a bit of homework, and remember the good old saying: If something ‘sounds too good to be true’, it probably is. And hey, True Pros is always here, ready to give it to you straight. No games, no gimmicks. Just honesty.
