Maybe thats because you used the lowest bidder instead of looking for a top
quality installation of top quality equipment by a master technician. Its
hard to remember the sweetness of low price when the bitterness of poor
quality remains.

So, how do we find a master technician? If I could find one that I
could trust I would never ask for advice here again. Seriously, I am a
lazy bastard and almost considered calling for installation of my
programmable thermostat. I would have paid for it but I didn't know who
to call. Fortunately, it all worked out okay when I did it.
Around here (Phoenix) you just can't tell. I was in a fast food joint
the other day and saw a guy eating with a shirt that said "Master Heat
Pump Technician" on it. Shit, to me he looked like he just got out of
Sheriff Joe's tent city jail. No way would I let him into my house.
So, if you really want us homeowners to leave you alone, let us know how
to find a good, knowledgeable, technician. I have no problem paying for
that. What I do have a problem paying for is a bullshitter who knows
less about the problem than I do; his solution is usually, "I'll just
add a little gas."
What do you guys think about calling the local power company for a
referral? Both APS and SRP push their list of "Approved contractors"
when they are encouraging pre-season checkups.

Normally it's a joke.
