WATCH: A Brampton man who opened the door to salespeople promising to replace his air conditioning unit says the free deal was anything but. As Sean O'Shea reports, he's got a warning for others in the same position this summer. TORONTO–A Brampton man who opened his door to salesmen says he was offered a free air conditioning unit but later learned he had to pay about $6500 for it.“They checked the air conditioning and said it’s not working well,” said Constantin Doulgeris, who is retired and lives on a pension.Doulgeris told Global News he allowed the salesmen to look at his heating and air conditioning system because they said it was under warranty. “That was the only reason I let them in,” he said. “They said I can get a free replacement. I can get it for free.”When Doulgeris’s daughter became aware of what happened, she started doing some research. She called the company and found out Doulgeris was on the hook for about $6500, paid out in monthly installments for the new unit.“

He got scammed, he thought he was doing good,” said Helen Falcioni, who called Secure Home Services, the company that quickly arranged and completed the installation of the new air conditioning system.“It’s a huge injustice for low-income seniors to be treated this way,” Falcioni said.She says her father never signed a contract agreeing to pay for the air conditioning unit. She says he only signed an acknowledgement that that the air conditioning unit had been installed.After complaining to the company, alleging her father had been duped, Secure Home Services sent regulatory manager James Keena to the home to discuss the installation. He brought a copy of the contract to which he says Doulgeris was bound.RELATED: New immigrants, seniors become targets of phone scams: Halifax policeOriginally, as witnessed by Global News cameras, Keena told Doulgeris the contract bore the name and signature of his wife, Agapi.

Before he can chill out inside he’ll need to recharge it and he’s chosen to use propane in his cooling system. According to our friend Google this is not his original idea, but has been done many times before. [Grayson] makes the point that although propane is flammable it’s not necessarily any more dangerous in a fire than Chlorodiflouromethane, or R22, which is the nasty little gas that fled his system for its new home in the upper atmosphere.
