DO NOT CALL BOB HAMILTON, they are scammers!
Furnace wasn't kicking on, Bob Hamilton came out and said I needed the inducer motor replaced for a price of $1643.40. I didn't have that so I was going to go another route to fix myself. That night as I laid in bed, I knew it was NOT the draft inducer motor because it had never made any noise that it was going bad. I went with my gut and called another company to diagnose the issue.
The inducer motor was fine, the new HVAC company said the inducer motor looked brand new and that the issue was a loose wire into my gas valve, they charged me nothing but the diagnostic fee to fix this and weeks later I have had NO problems.
This is not the first time Bob Hamilton has told me I need repairs that cost thousands of dollars, the last time was in April of 2022 when I had a leak from my tub to my kitchen. They charged me $527.40 to diagnose the problem and then stated that I needed to replace a less than 1 year old pipe and wanted me to pay an additional $1,600-$1,700. I was not going for this price.
The pipe was fine and this issue was actually on the base of the tub and my brother and I fixed it for less than $20.
I feel that Bob Hamilton is either trying to intentionally scam people that are in a rough spot or are incompetent.
I will never call Bob Hamilton again and I make sure to tell everyone I know to not use them because of the outrageous diagnostics they supply.
