Calgary homeowner issues warning after fake furnace techs arrive to service her home

A Calgary homeowner is warning others after letting two strangers into her home, thinking they were someone else.

April Swyers told Global News she was looking for a furnace and duct cleaning company when she came across one on a community Facebook page. It had great reviews, so she contacted the company and said she was told it was Breathe Clean Alberta.

She then booked an appointment and waited for the technicians to arrive.

“When they showed up, their truck was not logoed. They were not wearing uniforms. And they weren’t very professional,” she said. “They couldn’t pronounce the name of the company they said they were with.”

“Every time I came in a room where they were, they just kind of looked over their shoulder at me — like I caught them doing something,” she told Global News.

Swyers then decided to put her fears at ease. She called Breathe Clean Alberta herself to confirm that it had her service request on file and that the company had sent the technicians. It did not.
