Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I think the biggest secret is finding a good furnace/AC service person BEFORE you need him/her.
We have moved numerous times, and always ask neighbors/new friends for a recommendation. I want the pro that can fix a furnace with baling wire and duct-tape if needed. (I have run into 3-4 techs that only want to sell a new furnace, not fix the problem).
We have annual service to clean and check-about $75. We have used the same tech for 7-8 years. He is very honest and will fix it if he possibly can without pushing a new unit. We are comfortable with and trust the tech, which is hard to do when there is no prior relationship, the furnace/AC goes out and you shop around for service under time pressure.
Just one man's opinion.
