It could be wiring, it could be a relay, it could be a board, it could be a
sequencer, it could even be <gasp> the thermostat. Without actually *seeing*
it, theres no way I can tell exactly whats wrong with it.

To find a *competent* technician, call the supply house(s) that handle the
specific brand of equipment that you have and ask them "Who's the best tech
you got"(who would they call to do work on their family's home??), talk to
the local building/mechanical inspector(s) and ask them the same
question.... they can't really tell you a company name, but they can nod yes
or no if you ask about XYZ company or ABC company. Ask the folks that you go
to church with...who do they use??

No idea.... it will vary depending on where you are located, and whats wrong
with it.
