Budget HVAC is a "company" out of Suwanee, Ga. The owner Doug has several registered names in order to avoid detection of his fraudulent business.
My experience like many other I read started with a repair. He recommended replacement of my unit. When I told him I couldn't afford $2200 as I was trying to sell my house he pitched an "out of warranty unit". I asked him about the reliability and he said he would pull a newer unit for me. He said he had a 2002 unit that was perfect and was over to install it a few days later. Because my house is empty I found out the unit seized 3 weeks later. It might have happened the day after install, but I'm going to stick to the facts. Upon notice from my real estate agent I called Doug (the owner, who often rates himself as 5 stars on search engine reviews). He immediately tried to sell me a new unit. I asked him to please check the unit he has just installed and charged me $700 for first. That took a month. Immediately after that he started trying to pitch the new unit again. I asked Doug to work with me as I didn't have the money. This lead to various guises of him attempting other installs, repairs etc which always came back to me buying a new unit. That lead me here, where I've found that Doug's company routinely changes names and has several complaints. Please learn from my experience and stay away. I'll be taking Doug to small claims.
