My Thermostat said no power to Rh wire. I checked everything, everything was connected properly. So I figured I had a short, so I called the professionals.

He came and was troubleshooting stuff for over an hour. He ended up saying he thought there was a blown fuse and he replaced it. Thermostat still said no power to Rh wire. He said my thermostat was bad. So he did some more stuff with the wiring, took off the thermostat, and told me to go buy a new thermostat and put it on and it will work. He also did an AC cleaning and left. Total was $300.

I go buy a new thermostat, install it myself, everything works. 2 weeks later I get another no power to Rh wire. I call them again. Dude comes out and start messing with wiring, all of a sudden my old thermostat works So thermostat was never broken I suppose? Now he said the board is bad. He put a whole new board, now everything is working and thermostat is turning on. However, none of the vents blow really hard. They blow with very little force of air. And the air its blowing is only 65F. Its supposed to be blowing around 40F. So he said he had to go and he left, and he said he was going to come back. He hasnt billed me yet.

Tl;dr. What the heck? I already know he wasted my money with everything he did that day during the thermostat broken issue because thermostat was never broken. And now that he puts on a new board on the furnace, all the vents in the house blow weak air, and mildly cold air. What should I even say to him Im upset.

I like backwards compatibility.
