*most* of the time when folks comfort systems are not working properly, they
automaticaly think its the thermostat that is the problem, without realizing
thats like saying my car is broke, if I get a new key for it, it will run
again. Or that it needs some more of that "freezone" stuff. Never mind that
the system is over 10 years old and has never been serviced since the day it
was installed. Yes its real obvious to a *competent* Technician when the
system was hacked in by the lowest bidder, that its never been serviced,
lots of candles have been burnt over the years, lots of fried food, smokers,
etc.
