Smyth Air Conditioning added and up charged me on everything! Joe came to do the work. I was charged $120 for service call in addition to $140 per hour for 2 hours of labor to replace a capacitor which takes about 20 minutes to do! Then he said he added 2 pounds of Freon and charged $75 per pound for that. On Amazon, 25 pounds of Freon is for $200. This is $8 per pound. I did not need Freon added. Only a month ago, I replaced the leaking evaporator coil and that company topped off the Freon. He also charged me $55 to return the bad capacitor to dealer as it is still under warranty. A new capacitor costs less. So it s like paying for a new one. My bill came up to $565. First of all, companies do waive the service call fee if you take them to fix the problem. Secondly, the last AC company that replace the coil charged me $75 per hour for labor and waived service call fee. The AC has no leak, so there was no need to add Freon. He added that cost to the bill for nothing. I respect honesty but there is none from this company. They are a ripoff! I asked to discuss the charges with manager and he agreed to do a discount and accepted $200 for the work done.
