Watch Repairman Get Caught Trying to Charge $700 for Simple Air Vent Fix

INSIDE EDITION's House of Shame series is putting more home repairmen to the test - this time to see if they give a fair deal for cleaning an air vent. After hiding cameras throughout a rented house, we called local technicians to check out vents that can build up with dust, debris and mold. One repairman tried to charge $700 to clean and sanitize the air duct system, which only needed a basic cleaning.

    Makes you wonder how often this really happens. They should also include info on how many companies/technicians actually did a proper job.

      Always get estimates. 3 estimates will give you some bargaining power. Plus a well defined contract when you chose one of the companies you want to go with. If the company you chose decides to change things right before signing a contrat dont sign it. You WILL save yourself money and hassles but not time.
