I live in a small town, around here not a lot goes on and you don’t hear a lot of news.
As a matter of fact, it was so small that we only had one heating and air conditioner business.
At least for a while that is. Just a couple of months ago, another HVAC company moved into the area and ever since then there has been a price war. Both of the heater and a/c businesses are furiously competitive and are continuously trying to outdo each other by lowering their prices more and more. The customers are of course flocking to whoever has the best deals. Which I can understand. I mean, who wouldn’t want the most bang for their buck? This has caused the prices at both businesses to be very low. Way lower than what they should be. Now services that would normally cost hundreds of dollars, such as heating and air conditioning repairs or heater installations and air conditioner installations are now only costing about fifty bucks! It’s crazy but the customers love it. However the cheap services didn’t last too long because eventually both companies were forced to raise their prices back up to stay in business. Now they have come to a truce and are keeping their prices even. The customers are of course now disappointed but many of them wound up pretty lucky, they got great deals that could last them years before they might need another repair. I too took an advantage of the low prices and purchased a whole new HVAC unit 50% off and had it installed for only fifty bucks. It is doing great so far and I’m really liking it.
