AC Repair Investigation in New Jersey
Inside Edition tested local AC technicians.
They set up a working unit with one simple fault — disconnected low-voltage wires.
Hidden cameras captured four companies.Three techs quickly found and fixed the loose wire for fair fees (as low as $150). They were honest.
One from Gold Medal Service ignored it, invented a nonexistent “microscopic leak,” and quoted $1,736 for unnecessary repairs. Confronted on camera, he denied it and left his tools behind.Most were sincere, but one pushed a costly scam.
Gold Medal Service had no comment.
