Columbus Worthington Air is the biggest con rip off HVAC contractor I've worked for in my eleven years in the trade. I personally watched the main SALES tech. there alienate and insult a homeowners intelligence for not replacing a nine year old furnace with a cracked heat exchanger(under part warranty). Despite what they tell their customers the life expectancy of most HVAC equipment is 20-30 years. Not 10-15. I was pushed while employed there to sell sell sell and rush through AC and furnace clean and checks. They are impossible to do well in less then an hour. The idea is perceived value to replace your furnace or AC because you might have other problems with it in the future. In truth most equipment can be fixed and run well for years to come. It's part fear based. "You might put a ton of $ into repairs and then need to make more repairs next year." They promote extended P&L warranties and I feel that's a good thing but most homeowners are under the impression they need to keep a preventative maintenance plan for the warranty to be honored. Dear CWA customers, please save yourself the cost of their PM plans and just keep your air filters and outdoor coils clean. Do that and your extended warranty is still good. They sell Bryant and that is good quality equipment but they high ball for 9-11 grand for equipment(ac & furnace) I know for a fact they don't pay more then 2-3 grand for. If that, maybe less. I buy ACs for between $400.00 and $900.00. non whole sale and not in bulk. Depends on efficiency. I paid about $900.00 for my moms single stage + 90 gas furnace. The techs do sell everything for commissions.
