Lesson to be learned is...shop carefully for a service company.Get recommendations from friends and neighbors.Makes me crazy when I call for service and they send some lunkhead that doesn't know what he's doing.You pay a service charge,travel charge,gas surcharge,labor rates as high as $85 and outrageous mark up on parts only to find it's still not working.So you call them back and they try something else that fixes the problem ...or maybe not.You just keep paying for someone to experiment until they stumble on the solution.
Even had a refigeration guy charge me for 2 techs at $85/hr only to find out the guy had his 10 year old son with him running for tools.
We have great luck with Lakeside Plumbing for heating and plumbing issues.The usually get it right the first time.When you call their office you get a real person and the gals that answer the phone can diagnose as good as any of the techs.They show up when promised and have emergency service.
