House Not Getting to 70 in Sub Freezing Weather

Honest to God. How many contractors need to look at a job with a simple problem and can't fix it?

How do these "contractors" survive?? Luck? It sure isn't because of their technical ability.

Nice job @Dan Foley

Kinda sad when the Wallies can fix stuff with a few pictures and a description that a "contractor" with tools and eyes and ears doesn't have a clue.

@JesseG said"The senior engineer come along this time to assist and he said the problem is it needs to be re-piped. He said the placement of the pumps are completely wrong which is why the house never can get warm. I'm sure I'm butchering the explanation, but basically he says they need to re pipe it"

just another expert!!!

The knowledgeable people will have work until they draw their last breath if they want it.

Where I live it's kind of a captive audience for HVAC repairs- especially the East End of Long Island. We have no shortage of terrible techs here. We answer after hours emergency/no heat calls for several of the big HVAC firms in the Hampton's- I program their accounts.
What I have noticed over the years is that the "techs" out here literally bounce around in an endless cycle from one to the next to the next HVAC firm, sometimes eventually ending up back at the company they got canned from five years ago
I recently joked about it with the manager of the largest HVAC firm out here, he laughed and said that's 100% accurate... they're so desperate for help they keep hiring re-treads from the other guys.. till they fire them... and they go back on the round-about going to the next local firm.

We had one tech this Tuesday that got fired and hired the same day by two companies on our service. I didn't even need the guy's cell phone info... I just copied it off the other account and pasted it into the other account.

Sounds like a button might be useful in cases like these.
