I'm sure they subcontract.
Also, from the hvac ngs/forums I've been in, there are all kinds of grades
of units that a mfr will make, "builder's grade" being the ****tiest
possible--one of the reasons not to buy anything from a developer.
Just try to imagine the grade that HD is selling.
If it's anything like their near-useless lumber, watch out.

I had a new Bryant furnace/central A/C system installed, and it is a piece
of garbage. A very costly mistake.
And I was an HVAC/boiler mechanic, at one time!
And, it is almost impossible for a homeowner to defend against the
near-inevitable fleecing that awaits, because there are just so many ways to
get fleeced, so many variables, that only an insider can really keep track
of.
It's a major major homework project.
It's almost like tryna win at 3-card Monte.

Hi:

Home Depot sells Trane gas furnaces, and I would like to know if Home
Depot has their own people install the furnace or do they subcontract?
I remember a commercial a few weeks ago, where they showed a bunch of
guys in Home Depot uniforms installing a furnace. Doesn't sound
correct and downright silly. I am sure Home Depot can't possibly
install the furnace themselves. If they did, the workmanship and
installation can't be good.

For those of you who have used Home Depot to install a gas furnace,
how was the installation and service? I looked up Trane authorized
dealers in my area, but some of them have addresses that don't exist
or are PO boxes.They also list Home Depot as an authorized dealer, but
they scare me.
