Can I get a furnace expert?
AC problems yes, but not many furnace issues. I have a fourplex built in the 80's, and one of the units is turning over. Painters call my PM and say the furnace is not working. PM sends a "comfort specialist" and the diagnosis is a bad gas valve and pilot assembly that would cost $615 to repair. He's recommending replacing the furnace with a new Lennox furnace and evaporator coil, for a total of $2287, 10 year parts and 3 years labor.
Which would you select or would you get another technician out to re-diagnose the problem? PM did get a 2nd bid for $3100 to install a RUUD furnace.
Thanks for any input!
