AJ Perri was guilty of taking advantage of a senior citizen in her hour of need. My 82 year old mother was in need of a repaired gas furnace and hot water heater.

The AJ Perri salesman quoted her $16,000 for an installation that others bid $8,000. In addition, they signed her up for a Wells Fargo line of credit to finance the work at a 27% interest rate, right at her kitchen table. Usery? Upon learning of this I cancelled the job and had the repair work done for only $1,500!

This is wrong on so many levels...taking advantage of a freezing senior in the wake of a hurricane, charging usurious interest rates, and generally being unethical. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND AJ PERRI, even in a crisis as they are guilty of capitalizing on other people's misery.

Monetary Loss: $2300.

Location: San Clemente, California

Dear sir

I believe this was an incident that occurred in Belmar.

I believe the town had barred them from doing any work in the town but after a few legal phone calls and a couple of handshakes behind closed doors it was business as usual. Oh and cant forget the the homes that blew up. That was swept under the rug.

Hurricane Sandy hit New Jersey/east coast. What are U talking about if your mother lives in California ?

Or is it U who lives in California ? I may be confused ?

( Previous Customer of AJ Perri ) I guess you don't know what price gouging means. Almost every service call is a situation.

And the New Jersey Board of master plumbers says it is.

And you risk your license by doing it.

You may be unhappy with their prices, but you obviously have no idea what price gouging means- get an education before you post something. Price gouging is when a company changes their prices to a higher price to take advantage of a situation.

AJ Perri did not do this- their prices are always higher than everyone else's. If people want to pay the prices or not that is up to them, but price gouging it is not.

I was a plumber for perri for over a year & it was one of the worst companies to work for.They claim that all plumbers are licensed,truth to that is they use the brothers license & he doesnt even live in nj...They make you go to peoples houses & offer a whole house inspection for free because they wanted us to find things to overcharge people for,& they always made us feel like our job was in jeopardy if we didnt sell jobs & they post it on a board at office to intimidate us,big scam...had to quit because i have a conscience and couldnt do that to people.also,we had weekly meetings & they made us role play as if we were at your front door,what a joke!please stay away from them,they brainwashed the mechanics as well as the customers,pretty sad because when al perri,the father first started the business it was a great company but when he stepped down & gave it to the greedy sons,thats when it all started with overcharging & scamming people.also watch out for jim,the hvac supervisor,he is also one of the main managers,he is a real piece of ***
