“That’s a concern,” she said last week. “But ’tis the season – people are going to start thinking about their furnaces, and these guys are out there and people are constantly getting ripped off.”

Pasacreta suggested people check out at least three companies on the BBB website before accepting or paying for any services, and to also visit the buyer’s tips section of the website, which outlines exactly what consumers should look for.

“Slow down and do your due diligence,” Pasacreta said.
