My wife called these clowns last winter when two humidifiers built into the two-zone heating system were not working. The technician made several false claims about a humidistat not working on one system and the solenoid not working on another. He quoted a huge repair price for making all kinds of unnecessary replacements, and charged two service calls for his flawed diagnosis. Instead of paying for all this, I found that both water lines had a clog in the flow restricting orifice. I cleaned out the clogs and got both systems working. I wonder, was the technician so incompetent that he didn't think to check whether water could flow at all? Or, did he find the true problem and decide to quote a more expensive repair?
