And they kept insisting that they had contracted with Preferred A/C and Appliance out of Plugerville, TX -- never, ever, do business with them, it ain't libel if it's true -- and so Preferred had to be the one to fix the problem.<br /><br />I kept insisting that Preferred kept sending the same idiot who kept making the problem worse, not better.<br /><br />After two really firm emails, they caved and dispatched a different company, who sent a professional guy who solved the problem.
