It was kind of funny in the long run. I just felt bad for my HVAC guy because he detoured from another job to come fix this.

He did say my wiring was 100% correct and my only mistake was not knowing about the door switch. So I guess I did okay overall.

About 3 hours and some shame. Not the most expensive lesson I've had.

I had to call an electrician once over the GFCI outlets in my kitchen. One tripped and I couldn't get it working again. Turns out I have like three in a row on the same circuit, which I've been told is unnecessary, and when one trips they cascade. Electrician only charged me like $50 to explain all that which I thought was fair.
