I didn't know till too late that the tech was in fact not filling my AC with Freon but stealing it. I was curious when I saw the 2nd truck but was told that it was to provide extra Freon. After my ac still didn't work I figured out I'd been had for the $1700 I'd paid. Be careful of the techs

Maintaining Your HVAC Equipment

HVAC Maintenance Contracts Are Usually Bad Buys

Rather than paying for individual maintenance visits and repair jobs, you might consider getting a service contract for air-conditioning and/or heating equipment. Many companies try to persuade customers to enter into such contracts.
