Earlier this year, I employed Simon from GC Heating to service my Gas fire place. During servicing Simon broke the glass in the door. He then tried to charge me over $400 to replace the glass, that he, himself had broken. Being a senior I was very upset with the prospect of a $400 bill that I could not afford and I refused to pay for the servicing. Simon promised me, he would return with another glass for my fireplace free of charge, if I paid for the servicing. GC Heating cashed my check the following day. It has been almost 5 months since, I have not received the glass for my fireplace and now they are avoiding my calls. Another company has looked at my fireplace, they told me it was still dirty and it should have taken longer than the 15 minutes Simon took to service it. I feel completely taken advantage of. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!

The complaints are legitimate. ProGas, its Customers and Eddie Lowe, victims of Simon Shariati and Wilson aka Mehran Shariati, GC HEATING. Misrepresentations, poor workmanship, disingenuous practices

AUTHOR: Ed - (Canada)

POSTED: Sunday, November 18, 2012

The complaints on this site are legitimate. ProGas, its customers and Eddie Lowe remain the victims of Simon Shariati and Wilson aka Mehran Shariati from GC HEATING aka Green Care Heating Ltd aka Green Care Carpet Cleaning aka Area Heating and there ongoing misrepresentations, poor workmanship, fraudulent activity and otherwise disingenuous business practices.
 
Simon acknowledges the understanding of his customers, however he omits these people were ProGas customers until he telemarketed them employing numerous, deceitful and misleading statements in aid of gaining there business.
 
I have worked hard for 21 years creating a business with loyal customers. This list of customers through years of telemarketing cost Progas and I 100,000s of thousands of dollars to generate and is my property, NOT Simon's to steal because I contracted you to service them.
 
For greater clarity,
 
In 2010, you responded too and were hired from a Progas, Craiglist advertisement seeking contract workers.
In December 2011, for a multitude of nefarious activities listed below, which included over 60 complaints, you Simon from GC Heating, aka Green Care Carpet Cleaning aka, Area Heating was fired:


  • Misleading customers about Gas leaks;
  • Advising Customers repairs were needed when they were not;
  • Over charging for parts and repairs;
  • Unsatisfactory/poor workmanship;
  • In and out, 10 minute servicing;
  • BBB complains in this companys name pertaining to your servicing re: aforementioned;
  • Not showing up to appointments or late, not advising the customers of same;
  • Substituting your Brother Wilson to do our service work, Lieing about his qualifications. at the time, he was NOT a licensed gas fitter;
  • not responding to customers complaints about your work;
  • Soliciting our customers to call you direct for services;
  • Providing the Customers with your own invoicing, stickers and business cards instead of Progas documentation (Which would explain why it took us so long to identify your complaints);
  • Misleading Progas about its customer invoicing;
  • Failing to advise Progas about customer complaints;
  • 2010 you were caught selling parts to our customers without our knowledge and pocketing the money You slithered out of that by reimbursing Progas claiming it was an honest misunderstanding;
  • Theft;
  • On or about February to August 2011, you defrauded this company with help from our dispatch girl Jessica, by hiding completed work and splitting the money. Jessica was fired for steeling, you again conned your way out with a pack of lies (we have since located the missing dispatches called the customers and verified your involvement);
  • December 2011 you were again caught selling parts to our customers and providing service work to Progas customers without our knowledge and pocketing the money you were fired.
  • You owe this company over $800 for work provided to you that you refused to pay upon your dismissal. (I still have your text messages)
  • You owe this company over $15,000 for work you fraudulently obtained without our authorization or knowledge. This work includes but is not limited to repairs, service work, Hot water Tank and furnace installations
I trusted you! Now on your own, you are poaching ProGas customers and speaking ill of Progas falsely stating, claiming and misleading:

  • ProGas is out of business;
  • Misleading Customers into believing you are Progas or still an authorize representative;
  • ProGas BBB complaints, the very complaints we received resulting from your activities attributed to Progas, now being used by you in aid of soliciting our customers;
  • that you have taken over servicing from Progas; 
You have three problems Simon:

  1. Your lies only hold water as long as people only hear your stories Thats changing!
  2. You can not sue over the truth;
  3. The customers that you are poaching from ProGas, stealing, ripping off and conning are our customers and we talk to them all. You Simon are a RAT and a THIEF. Our codeword program, save a few customers has worked well at stopping you, it will continue. Progas customers with outrage and frustration are starting to speak out and we are encouraging them to do so. There will be more postings on this site and in other media about you and your nefarious business practices, if I have my way all 60ish complaints will be made public.
My name is Ed **** ProGas Home Services, 21 years in business. Every thing stated above I can prove. This company 2010-2011 has suffered substantial bad press, including this website and lost reputation, customers, some of 21 years and buisness, because of Simon and Wilson of GC Heating. I invite any of the public reading these posting to call me. I would be more than happy to provide contact information related to the Customer complaints listed about this Con Man and the other 60 odd complaints we received and still continue to learn of.

#1 REBUTTAL Owner of company

Response to 947431

AUTHOR: simon - (Canada)

POSTED: Wednesday, October 31, 2012

My name is Simon. I am the owner of GC Heating. The accusations made in this report are false. This is not a true customer of my company. I have reason to believe that this report was falsely made by the owner of Pro Gas & Heating (Eddie Lowe and/or Laureen Hoover). Pro Gas & Heating has a F rating with the Better Business Bureau and no longer has an operating business license. My company for a short period of time worked as a contractor with Pro Gas & Heating but discontinued the

partnership due to their dishonest business practices. I do not know the author of this report 'Cheryl' from Langley. GC heating is an accredited company with the Better Business Bureau and as such has made a commitment to better business practices. If the 'author' of this report has any questions or concerns, please contact me directly at 604-518-4801.
