We also financed our tank-less water heater from Boonstra in 2021. We wanted to buy it out. The fee…read moreand the amount to be paid (if bought out) was on the contract. Yet when we called we were told that we would be charged a much higher price to buy it out. The salesmen was a con man, he provided misleading information. If you choose to deal with Boonstra carefully examine the contract for all clauses related to the buyout. And if the salesmen tells you differently have him write it down with his signature.

This review also posted on Google…read more Buyer beware! This experience is with who I presumed was a technician but turned out to be a salesman. I called to have my ducts cleaned and then to have a free inspection of my home for air quality. The "technician" did not do an inspection but asked about my furnace, age etc. He came to the conclusion that it would be best to replace my furnace as soon as possible because of age, 16 years, to avoid a breakdown (which admittedly is possible). Then we could start talking about air quality. He started quoting me these exorbitant prices for furnaces (no A/C included), anywhere from $12,000 to $15,000 stating furnace prices have gone way up. He kept calling back for a few weeks before the scheduled duct cleaning even when I told him I am going to hold off purchasing one for now since we have an Enercare maintenance/repair plan and don't want to go into debt. His offer was a "deal" of around $11,800 for a $15,000 furnace. I investigated furnace prices and found out that the price of a furnace for my home came to about $5000 to $6000! I finally cancelled the duct cleaning out of frustration and feeling deceived. I thought calling a local company that has been established here for a long time with many positive reviews would be a good idea. Rather, it seemed that the salesman was likely deceitful and out to make $$$, trying to take advantage of a couple of older folks who he thought probably would not investigate what he was up to. Deplorable conduct and I will never use Boonstra to install a furnace in this house. I really wonder if Boonstra has inflated their Google review numbers using hired reviewers. I am very disappointed by this experience and I am going to update this review for a period of time so that it comes up first in the sort as the latest review allowing others to see it right away and they are not taken advantage of. Update April 2nd - I called Boonstra to inform them of my name, address, and the date, March 30th, that the duct cleaning was scheduled for and cancelled plus gave them the name of the salesman who came over. If I remember correctly it was Sean. The response by management of "they couldn't find me in their system" is obviously a fabrication to deflect the seriousness of this negative review. It is identical to how they responded to some other reviewers who have had negative experiences. A standard answer and shameful.
