Hubby has a Ph.D. in engineering, so he questions the technicians thoroughly when we have a problem with our HVAC. (Big D does this with all workers who come to the house -- I think he scares them
).They always answer in a knowledgeable manner. They know enough not to just guess on a solution (which would cause you to be charged for something that doesn't correct your problem).

I agree. We have total confidence in them. And they try cheap solutions first before they suggest more expensive ones. Some technicians just suggest more expensive alternatives because they don't know enough to tweak a small problem.
For example, I've posted before about getting ripped off by pool heater repair people. They say to replace the motor because they don't have a clue how to fix the problem. $1000 bucks. Then a friend who also has a pool on 30A told hubby about a pool heater part that costs a few bucks and rusts out at least once a year. Hubby fixes that himself now. Let's see, do I wanna pay $1000 for incompetence or a few bucks to DYI?

We ended up calling Rob Sanders. Great Guy!! We called on Sunday and left a message that we would like an appointment on Monday. He called back less than an hour later, on Sunday and he diagnosed the problem over the phone and my husband was able to fix it with just a trip to Ace Hardware. Thank you Rob!! Turns out to be a common problem. We were using our furnace instead of our heat pump for heat because it was so cold. The end caps on the wires that are connected together were not the correct size and the wires separated and arched and produced heat and melted (not the technical terms, but it is how I recall). Anyway all my husband had to do was power down, then trim the ends off the wires and get the correct size end caps and twist them on.
