The technician did set up and then advised that it was out of their scope, I was very glad that he did evaluate and saw that he could not do the job! BUT then I received a call from their office and was told I had to pay for 1 hour of SERVICE! They looked, they bid, they showed up, they set up, did nothing else but I had to pay due to their mistake!! It was not my fault that it was out of their scope!
