Hot water heater service call

Called to have them look at one my hot water heaters to see if they could repair it since they pilot light would not light. Had another company out 2 years ago cleaned the assembly and burner and worked fine they told me I might have to have it done again as it might do same thing because the age of unit.. so when I called them I assumed they was gonna look at it and try clean and repair it basically all the did was tell me oh u need new one because u unit is 11 years old past the life of unit and I need to replace both my units? So I get charged $89 for a wasted service call the price they quoted me for one unit to replace was $1,444 ? I see why they charge the $89 service call as they price the work at 3x price of anyone else n my area so I’m stuck l paying them $89 because I’m not a fool and gonna spend $1444 on one let alone have them replace both at $2,888?
Oh I should go with a tankless one and spend $4000? I asked for a service call to repair a unit not get a over inflated quoted I could of gotten on the phone!!! The model you quoted me I could buy for $599 so that makes your Labor charge to install one water heater $814???
And if I did them both $1,624 are u insane??
I went and purchases two of the same kinda for each $474 and he install price was around $300.. so I had both my hot water heater replaced for price you wanted to charge me for one!!!
Spending $89 on a service is a lesson learned and I will never be using you for my plumbing needs or my business either. I was told I’d i would agree to do work I’d get the service charge money applied towrods bill lmfao!!!
I would hope so since your charging 3 times the rate for installing a basic water heater..
if that is not trying to rip a customer off I do not know what is. I have my invoices to prove my point if u do not believe me and I didn’t not go with the cheapest bid so my bid was still on the higher end but your bid was 3 times and 4 times higher than a few quotes I got.
So thanks for wasting my time make good use out u $89 service fee be only time I spend money with your company !

Kevin,
Thank you for you for your honest review.
I am truly sorry your experience with our company was not up to your standards. In your list of options from the technician there should have been an option to repair/clean the existing water heater but all it says is that one of the two was not working and "customer wanted options for replacement." I will speak to the technician and find out why so many options were given for replacement when all you wanted was to fix the broken heater.
I really just curious why you were getting bids if all you really wanted was to repair the heater; nevertheless we are going to refund your $89 and hope you have a great experience with whomever you chose to now replace the unit(s).
