So out of curiosity did either of these techs actually replace any
components on the system or did they just refill the freon? I couldn't
really tell from the above post if they actually changed anything or if
they just pumped freon into the system.

Dunno...I would ask for a breakdown of what was done and what was
replaced. Then and only then can you determine what is/isn't part of
your home warrantee.

I would make sure that it works for more than a day.
