"Unless mindful of the de ceitful tricks used by furnace repair gyps who solicit jobs during the heating off-season," McNeill said, "even otherwise cautious homeown ers may be swindled by one of the most vicious and costly schemes of the day." The chamber manager not ed that the furnace repair scheme continues to mulct homeowners throughout the country. He said it is imperi tive that homeowners be on constant guard against the "despicable scheme during this period of the year when furnaces normally are clean ed and serviced." Identify Schema McNeil said an alert home owner can easily identify the scheme. An "inspector" asks access to the basement, and if given permission, usually tells the homeowner he will have to call in an "engineer" who partly dismantles the furnace, he said. Then the homeowner is told a new furnace is needed, and high pressure salesmanship is used to scare the housewife into signing a contract, the chamber manager said. Sometimes the scheme starts with a salesman solicit ing a furnace cleaning job and later calls in an "engi neer" who uses the "Tear down - and - scare - 'em" tech nique, he said. McNeill noted that an of ficial inspector will show his credentials, and if the person posing as an inspector admits he represents a furnace com pany, call the chamber as soon as possible. He pointed out that fur naces eventually wear out and need replacing, but he added that reputable heating contractors do not go around falsely posing as "inspectors," , nor do they dismantle fur naces without permission. Re putable heating contractors do not attempt to freighten people into buying their equipment, McNeil noted.
