Default new gas furnace recommendations needed

Contractor rip offs are sadly pretty common

My advice check with detector FIRST then have gas company inspect if
it doesnt generate monoxide. cost little can save thousands for 50
bucks and a detector is a good thing to own, even a brand nbew furnace
can malfunction........

Incdenly stoves etc DO, but since there a much lower BTU its not
enough to be dangerous in most situations.

Contractor rippoffs are very rare actually, unfortunately they make better
news than good contractors. If you deal with a good contractor with high
credentials, a satisfactory rating with the BBB, recommended by
manufacturers as tops in there area, you usually can't go wrong. Don't go
by the big ads in the YP.

Since you are stating that Contractors rip offs are common, what percentage
of contractors work are ripoffs. I am sure you are stating facts rather
than your own opinion. Again ther are alot more good honest contractors
than bad. The bad ones are the ones that most people complement on being
fair priced and the ones to deal with, rather than those overpriced ripoff
companies. Ther is a reason better companies cost more. Which I have
stated in an earlier post.
