Often the scammer furnace guy will say that the heat exchanger is cracked, and he "had to turn off the gas supply, otherwise HE would be libel when the CO2 kills everyone in their sleep".
By leaving you with no heat, he gets you to quickly buy a new furnace.
But remember, most heat exchangers come with a 30 year (or sometimes lifetime) warranty from the manufacturer. A quick phone call will verify this. The warranty includes installation.
Quoted from Jgaltr56:Wow! A 2-3 year payback is amazing so yeah I'd be a moron not to go that route. Care to share your math? I'm genuinely curious.
It's not hard to figure out for your own situation.
Lets say that the heating portion of your gas bill is $400 in the 6 months out of the year you heat your home.
Lets say your old furnace is 80% efficient (worst case), and the new one is 96% efficient.
That would be an instant savings of $64 a month (or $384 a year)!
If your new furnace is $5000/$384 = 13 year payback.
Quoted from MrBally:The big problem is that natural gas lines are not ran everywhere. Even in the USofA
That's true.
If you're on Propane or god forbid, Electric heat, and your city has a vote to allow Natural Gas to be piped in - VOTE YES!!
