Time For A Furnace

For the last couple of years I’ve been thinking about when our furnace would finally quit.  The way my luck goes, it will die in the middle of winter so I decided to shop for a furnace during the slower months for heating companies.  I was able to work with two neighbors to pool our business together.  We had a few hvac companies come out and offered to give them all three jobs if they would give us a good price.  We finally got all the quotes and the winning bid was $1800 including installation and tax.  That’s a far cry from other neighbors that have been spending almost $3000 for the same.

Once we decided on a bid it was time to turn to the Internet to do a little research on the company.  All the googling I could do turned up no bad reviews or comments.  In fact, the only thing I could find was that the company, and specifically the person we talked to, was highly recommended by a realtor in our area.  I also checked the state labor and industries website to make sure there were no formal complaints or violations.  The website also confirmed that they have a bond on record and are insured.  Good enough for me.

They are coming out on Friday to do the installation.  Cross your fingers for me.
