I bought my house a couple of years back and it's got one of those complicated heating systems. I was a technician at the phone company, but I have absolutely no clue what to do with something like this. The system itself has always made a lot of noise, but I didn't have a clue anything was wrong because I don't know what's normal. I took pics of my system and got 4 referrals from Yelp to companies that might be able to work on it. The first 3 sent back messages that they weren't equipped to work on my system, so I appreciated getting a response. Redwire sent back word that they could take a look at it. I called them back and explained what was going on - noise, no heat, etc. i also explained that my health hasn't been great lately, and my place was FREEZING COLD. The technician from Pacific Gas & Electric had advised that he didn't feel that the system was safe when he inspected it, so I had taken his advice and shut it down. The lady on the phone scheduled me for the soonest appointment that they had available. Their technician, Alan, came out to check out my system and advise me how to proceed. Alan did a lot of testing on my system and was able to diagnose the problem. I needed to replace an expensive component and although they could get the part and change it out, the component itself was very expensive. He did some more testing and managed to get my heater up and running, but he was clear with me that the component was going to fail and the timing of this wasn't known since the extent of the damage (to the circuitboard of the component) made it unpredictable. Alan was able to do some adjustments to get the system up and working again and I was very appreciative. He also gave me an exact cost of the part and the repairs on the spot so that I could plan ahead to get the work done once I had the funds available. The system has never worked particularly great, it's always been really noisy and hit or miss on the temperature. I give Alan and RedWire two thumbs up because the system has been more consistent and works better than it ever has since I moved into the house after Alan had adjusted it for me. I highly recommend RedWire will definitely be using their services to replace the part once I have the money available in my budget! Many thanks to Alan and RedWire for taking good care of me and getting over here to take care of my system and the diagnosis as soon as possible!
