This is the third time I have used a Big Deal and never will again. It was not a "deal" since Sullivan just upped the price anyhow. They were not giving a deal.
"Thank you for your great review of Brandon! We are glad you were satisfied."
it was done without a lot of inconvenience of the water being shut off for a long period the tech Brandon
informed me of each thing he had to do"Thank you for your review. We are appreciative of your time!"
"Thank you for your review! We are happy to hear you were satisfied. =)"
"Thanks for your review! We're happy to have you as part of our customer care plan."
However, this company said that regardless of the size of the job or the time it takes or the nature of what it is they need to do, their list price for this work is $643! So, you apply the $200 value and I would pay over $400 more. But, they offered a deal at $350 for this and I only have to pay $150 more! So, in the end, it would cost me more than market pricing and the company that offered the so-called deal makes more than if they didn't offer the deal. This to me is a devious way of doing business. They have every right to price their services at whatever they want, but they should put that out up front when they offer the deal. So, I respectfully ask you to cancel my purchase of this deal - as it is clearly not a deal and is in fact a rip-off.

The next day, I had a separate company come to clean all my ductwork. When that technician was here he pointed out that I should change the filter in my heater. When I called Sullivan and asked why their workman had not changed the filter while he was here the day before (as per my SSP contract he sold me), I was told that in order for him to do the yearly preventive maintenence check I had to call to schedule such work. The guy had neglected to tell me that I had to make a call after signing an SSP contract, in order to get any 'Super Service Work'. As such, I had to take another day off work the following week for my SSP maintenance call. When the same technician came again, he supposedly performed my preventive maintenance inspection, and gave me as 'clean bill of health' on my heater. However, he told me I had a gas leak near my furnace. He then proceeded to do another 'sales job' on me --- this time proposing to a) replace ALL the gas lines in my house for $4,127; b) replace the entire gas line from the heater to the appliance associated with that gas leak for $2,034; or, repair just the place where the gas line was leaking for $935. I thought it strange that he did not 'red tag' a leaking gas line for safety purposes. I reasoned that it could not be that serious then, and indicated I wanted to discuss his proposals with my wife before committing to spend between almost $1000 and $4000.
I then called Beverly Services and their technician came to give me a second opinion. He explained that the brass fitting at the shut-off valve where the leak was appeared to have a minute crack where it had been torqued too hard when joined with the steel pipe feeding that valve. Since no one had touched that coupling since the appliance it went to had been installed some five years before, such minute leak had apparently been brewing since that time. Beverly Services then replaced that cracked shut-off valve for $134.40, plus a 'trip charge' of $49 to diagnose the problem. So, instead of paying between $930 and $4127 to fix my gas leak, I paid a total of $183.40!!! After the Beverly technician left, I started to wonder about the SSP work that had been done the week before. When I opened the chamber for the filter, I found that the filter had been changed --- and a new filter with holes in it had been installed!!! Now I'm wondering whether, and how badly, I got taken on the inital cost of my initial heater installation in 2009.
I called and cancelled my 'Super Service Plan' immediately. I do not trust these guys. I would not believe anything they told me about the need for, or scope of work, to be done. I concur with the opinion of another of the reviewers on this site who called Sullivan Super Service a scam. How can there be a difference of between almost $800 to $4000 to purportedly properly fix the problem of minor gas leak?
