Customer tonight had already hired a couple of guys who “on the side” do HVAC work. He couldn’t find the phone number to cancel our appointment. He was embarrassed, but, they worked really cheap. New furnace, air-conditioning system for a house for under 4 grand. Less than half of anybody else he got quotes from. (I would’ve been the 5th quote).

Without pulling permits, with no workman’s comp, they’re going to replace his gas furnace.

Heh.

A homeowner’s policy can refuse to pay if you hire an uninsured worker to work at your house. Insurance companies can always afford more lawyers than you can.
