Hi,
She is like a stirring stick, never gave feedback. Very weird.

Nonsense. I said that the problems are all fixed although the plumber
said we should probably extend the vent pipe up another foot out of the
roof. It is up to code though but he said that might prevent the flame
from going out in high winds. Might but also might not. That will
likely have to wait about three weeks though. I have other fish to fry.
Hello,
Curious mind wants to know, how they were fixed. Not just fixed.
What did they do on the opener and WH?

I did post of it. Basically they had to redo most of the installation.
Nothing was put up properly. Some wires were too tight and some were too
loose. They tightened the loose ones but the ones on either side of the
garage door are far too tight. This was likely done out of spite after I
complained about the loose hanging wire everywhere. The end result? If
someone so much as lightly bumps either of the sensors (eyes) which were
also improperly installed, this will knock the sensor out of place and pull
on the wires causing trouble. They put the sensors just at the edges of the
garage door opening instead of further back like the old ones were and up
far too high.

The unit itself was being held up by only one nut and bolt instead of two
and the brackets were put on the wrong part of the opener. Originally the
installer tried to use the old brackets for a Genie and the whole thing was
so wobbly, it was about to fall down. After I complained, he used the
correct brackets. Just installed them wrong. The end result of that was
that the unit itself was on the verge of falling down and the chain was
about to come off the track yet again. So that was all put right. And that
is why my door wouldn't fully close. Everything was too loose.

I might still have a problem with the sensors and their wires. If I do I
will have to call the new guy back again but it will mean having to rewire
those as they currently cut the wires so short there was nothing he could do
except use new wire.

As for the keypad, neither of the new guys were familiar with the unit and
looking on the Internet for instructions were of no more help to them than
they were for me. It just wasn't working right. And it was a generic unit.
They had the correct unit for this opener and they installed it for a mere
$30

I'm sure I left out some details. Oh and... I did report the first company
to the BBB and the complaint has been registered. And the next call these
new guys were making was across the street from me to a house with exactly
the same complaints that I had!

The new installers said that most of the companies in this area and not just
garage doors but other types of repairs are run by some guy or people in a
call center, not necessarily even in this state. They outsource to foreign
people. The older guy's wife once followed up on a company that outsources
to Mexicans and found their address to be a Dairy Queen. Yep. They are
rampant here. Oh and the name of the good company? Barron's Garage Doors.
Anyone in the Seattle area who has door or opener problems that they can't
fix themselves? Call them. They would have done the job for less than half
what we paid. Not sure why my bro couldn't get in contact with them. He
told me that someone was sick or in the hospital so they couldn't come right
away. But they told me that part wasn't true. They did say that they were
very busy at some point so that may just have been it./
