Sorry Doug but you are explaining simple 3rd grade mistakes. This is
proof positive that you are doing nothing more than picking the
biggest yellow page ad or just plain calling until you find the first
or cheapest hack.
Spend time now, while you dont need a hvac guy to look for one that is
good. Its just like any other blue collar or professional industry.
There is good and there is bad.
You wouldnt keep going to the same doctor for a cold if each time you
showed up he wants to stick his thumb up your ass, would you?

Bubba,

let me ask you something as a pro..

which kind of customer would you rather deal with...

they guy with a heat problem that doesn't know anything about
anything...

or they guy that understands how a furnace works and has a pretty good
idea about what the problem is but doesn't have the experience or
parts or tools to fix it himself?

Jumping in here, but as a pro, either is fine.

The one that has no clue, a REAL tech with integrity can come in, fix it,
EXPLAIN things, and unless hes one of those, "I dont care, make it work"
types, he will have a better understanding.

The one that has half a clue will be the one that gives you the most crap.
he knows half of what is needed and tells you what is wrong with it when you
get there.
Those, you can TRY to explain it all to, but if they start with the
instructions, then you just tell them that you will do it their way,
(depending on that way, and what is being done of course) and if it does not
work, then they get to pay for the parts and time that was wasted.
Works well.

Those that know, normally will sit back and watch. When you are done, they
will pay you gladly, and without question. They also tend to refer you to
more people, since they actually know why you set the oil burner up with
$2800 in tools, or more.
