Call from "Eco Energy" telling me that a representative would be on my street over the next two days to inspect my furnace and eligibility for an Ontario energy grant. Asked how old my furnace was and I told him I don't know. Asked how old the house was and I told him I don't know. Then asked me what time would be best. I told him that I didn't know. When pressed further, I told him not to bother coming and hung up.
Two people from Eco Energy had come to my door last month and the male was very pushy about coming in to inspect my furnace and hot water tank. I said I already had received a rebate but he said he still needed to come in to inspect. I told him NO. He then said he needed to write down my name and phonenumber. I told him that he didn't need my name nor phone number, that the door was behind him and that they both needed to leave. There was no rudeness, but EXTREMELY pushy.
I suspect they want to sell you a new furnace, likely at a non-competitive price.
