The amateur technician almost messed up my air purification system

Even though I have received comfort from heat and AC products for my whole life, I know very little concerning them.

I rely heavily on the internet and the professionals that are being referred to. My air purifier has been giving me issues for a while now. It all started when I noticed that the surfaces at my home were becoming dust very quickly. It would make weird noises and I also noticed that part of the seal on the ductwork was damaged. I remember being shown how to clean the washable filters but now I could not remember how to uninstall the air filters. I called one of the technicians referred to me by a neighbor who had since moved states. When he first arrived, the technician did not look like he was prepared to work, he lacked the work gear and tools. Despite this, I let him look at the air purification system. Within a few minutes, he gave me an invoice on the things he needed to repair the unit. The total sum was a very alarming number that I could only come up with the following week. As a temporary solution, he used low-quality material for duct sealing then removed and shoddily cleaned the air ducts using my leaf blower. When my friend came over for a visit, she referred her husband to fix the issue. He was very efficient and had all the right tools for duct cleaning and other processes concerning the proper maintenance of the air quality system. He redid the seals on the ducts with appropriate material from the local business. The amateur technician almost ruined my unit, fortunately, the heat pump did not need repair otherwise. The indoor air quality was improved and I also managed to upgrade my thermostat.
