So many lines of uttter bull****. You are a tight ass and got exactly
what you paid for. A good HVAC company will have almost every igniter
on their truck (or at least one that will work over the weekend). I
can get any parts house to open up at night or on a weekend for a fee
of $0 to $100 depending on the store. You are cheap and didnt want to
do it and didnt want to pay a guy overtime. Spend the money or go play
on the internet. Its you choice. Just stop whinnin and bitchin like
its someone else's fault.
ITS YOURS.

Hello, Troll.

There's one company in this area that services my brand. In June I
paid them $400 for a board I could have bought for $150. I figured
meeting their price was like paying a laywer a retainer. If I had
an emergency, they'd know I was a customer.

When my furnace wouldn't burn, I didn't think about the internet.
I phoned the HVAC company. Their machine gave me a cell phone
number. I called that number and got another machine. I explained
that my house was cold and I needed an ignitor. I sat in the cold
by the phone two hours, waiting.

I would have been willing to wait until Monday or later to get
heat, but it looked as these people were not even willing to talk
to me. Did I go shopping online? No, I went around the
neighborhood asking if anyone could recommend an HVAC man. I
didn't get a single lead.

I returned home and found that somebody had hung up on my answering
machine. I called friends and relatives. The only recommendation
I got was for a part-time HVAC man who lived 50 miles away and
didn't deal with my brand.

That's when I went online. Four days later I phoned the HVAC
company where I used to be a generous customer. The woman
recognized my voice and said she had returned my call Saturday but
got my answering machine. That was her excuse for not being
willing to speak to me when I needed help.

The high markup I paid her company was money down the toilet.
Judging by the number of recommendations I got, arrogance like
yours and hers must be very common in the HVAC industry. I'm glad
I found a reliable, helpful dealer on the internet. He's a prince
among HVAC men.

Still just more lines of utter nonsense.
$400 for a board that you could have gotten for $150. Are you
forgetting that you didnt know it was the board until the service man
diagnosed it and had the part on his truck? You didnt know what was
wrong and you didnt have that part in your basement stock, did you?
You dont really think that a company on the internet is going to sell
you a board for the same price that a hvac company is going to charge
you when they have it on their truck and will install it with a
warranty do you?
On top of that, you probably called him on a weekend. Do you think we
all sit next to the phone on the weekend waiting for your call so we
can spring from our chair and rush right out to your bull**** call. Id
bet you dont even service your unit and only wait till it breaks
before you start calling and begging someone to come to your rescue.
Now you say you went walking the neighborhood and asking everyone if
they had a service company they would recommend? You are so full of
****. You never did that. What? You trying to tell me that you live in
a town where everyone has a wood stove to heat their home?
I think you are a whinner. I hope you enjoy your internet company. It
should be interesting when your furnace breaks on a cold winter nite
and you call your internet company for service.
Have fun,
Bubba
