Description

I got a call from someone claiming to be with the California energy commission. They said they would send someone over to see if I qualify for a discount on energy efficient upgrades. They claim I qualified for $10,000 off the price. But they submitted it while they were here and got the answer in 20 minutes. Not likely for a state department to respond that quickly. Then they said the work would cost me $29,000 . These guys were supposedly with GTECH smart remodeling, which I don’t even think operates in Alameda. This was for a tankless water heater and furnace but on the company website it does not even mention those types of upgrades. I signed a waiver saying I would not cancel and they immediately cashed my down payment check of $1000.
