Free $5 Amazon.com e-Gift Card – Swagbucks
by CpU on Dec.04, 2010, under Advice, News, Swagbucks, Xtra
I just earned a $5 Amazon.com e-Gift Card from Swagbucks in day! It wasn’t hard, all I did was search the internet through their Swagbucks Search Portal and completed a couple of easy surveys. I don’t usually recommend survey’s, but these ones I qualified for, and took me about a day to earn 450 Swagbucks which got me this e-Gift Card from Amazon.com. Now that does not mean I was on Swagbucks.com for 24 hours straight. I spent about 20 minutes on 2 surveys and did some of my usual internet searching through their website.
The $5 Amazon.com e-Gift Cards add up, and soon will be enough to purchase the latest from the store that has almost everything.
So what are you waiting for? Get on Swagbucks and do your normal internet searching, fill out a few questionnaires, and get some free stuff for it. Pretty simple isn’t it? ![]()

Rip-Off Report: BW Service Experts–Michiana
by CpU on Nov.05, 2010, under Business, Michiana, News
If you are looking to get your furnace fixed this winter, try to avoid BW Service Experts for your next heating and cooling system repair in Mishawaka, Elkhart, or South Bend.
Why? Because they overcharge for parts and labor. They do not calculate your service charge based on the amount of time spent, parts costs (plus a little profit of course). Instead they have a set price for the part and install. What to expect if you have to change the ignition board on your furnace.
Expect a quote of $475 for the part and labor. This does not include the initial fee for them to come look at your furnace.
Lets break down this quote because the technician will most likely not tell you how much you are paying for parts, and how much you are paying for labor. Don’t forget tax (but who knows what that taxable amount is unless you drill the tech for lack of information.)
A typical ignition board costs roughly $100-200 give or take. Mine particularly was $109.00.
So breaking down the costs directly:
| Service/Diagnostics Fee: | $100 |
| Replacement Part Cost: | $120 (Shipping, Tax) |
| Labor: | $355 |
| Total: | $575 |
Now how hard is this part to replace? Not hard – actually it took an 8-minute video on HVAC for Beginners to replace a much similar board.
So to sum things up, for roughly 60 minutes of work, they earn $355 plus the $100 diagnostics fee (Or we call that labor). Rip-Off Report Confirmed – and if you are looking to have work done on your next heating and cooling equipment, I suggest you find a local company that isn’t controlled by CORPORATE fingers.
The one thing this company did right was walk away from the diagnostics fee. Offered with out my request after I broke down the numbers over the phone with the manager that could not be found that evening. I did not have any work done and excused the tech from my house. He was happy to leave while also leaving my door open to the cold weather. Standing two feet from my back door (as it was wide open) waiting for his fee while I spend 20 minutes trying to get ahold of someone who can explain this poor service and untrustworthy business practices.
When the technician makes sighs and statement like, “I hope you have a credit card, last time I did one it was expensive.” Be worried and do your homework. There are plenty of hardworking American Companies who deserve your money and BW Heating and Air-conditioning in Mishawaka, South Bend, and Elkhart is NOT one of them.
The location I experienced this is in the Mishawaka, Elkhart, South Bend Area.
