So anyway............ The guy that called wanting the friendly price, called other companies that couldnt come out for weeks, church, soccer, yadda, yadda...... I did it yesterday. Started out as 3 diff bldgs with 2 furnaces each. By the time I got to the first bldg, it was just that bldg 2 furnaces total. Nothing else. Building was rental and total slumlord crap. Both furnaces in basement. Basement had a small tire hanging from the joist ripped in half from training a pitbull. Tons of old dogshit in basement. Dirt floor and 25watt bulb. First is a Jani-junk 90%er supposedly not working. The guys partner shows up, takes me to the basement, gives me the quick story of he checked everything. I disconnect the stat wiring. Jumper R & W and everything works fine. He says, "Oh, guess I need to replace the stat." I said, "yup". On to the 2nd furnace. He says, "Oh, I gotta leave and go pick up materials". I said, "Fine, I'll be done in a min." I remove the stat wires from the 2nd furnace, jumper R & W and the furnace purrs on like magic. He said, "Oh, guess I better pick up a couple stats." I said, "yup". Ten mins and 2 service diagnostic fees. What an idiot! And I dont want any shit out of the homemoaners. I told the fool upfront EXACTLY what I was going to charge him for the service calls PER furnace. He'll go out and change the stats and toast the transformers and call me back. Bubba
