I called a well-known HVAC service company and scheduled an appointment to learn more about air purifiers and air filtration options in my home.
I did not schedule an appointment for a salesman to come to my home and try to sell me a $10,000 piece of equipment, but that is exactly what happened.
I was hoping to get more information about portable or room air purifiers. I honestly didn’t think I had enough money for any type of whole home air filtration option. When I scheduled the appointment, I told the person on the phone that I was just hoping to get more information. I even made sure that the appointment was not going to cost any money to me. I had not even decided if I was going to make the changes or not. I was honestly just trying to get some information about the costs and the options that were available. The salesman was really trying to get me to buy a $12,000 indoor air filtration system with a UV air purifier. The indoor air filtration system was way out of my budget. The salesman said he was certain that he could qualify me for a loan if I wanted to sign the dotted line. I resisted signing up for the expensive air filtration unit and I told my wife that we should not call that company again. I did research on my own after that. I had a couple of ideas of my own and I didn’t want to deal with another pushy salesman.
