I was told about 16 years ago when I bought the house that the Lennox
central heat and air was on its last leg. I am glad I have waited this
long.

I have been cheated nearly every time a service 'professional' comes out.
One drove a half a mile, slammed the doors shut and billed me $85 for 5
minutes of work. I am a single mother, now unemployed and can't afford a
new unit at this time. But it is on my wish list...after the election,
when I hope to be able to get a job. :-)

Once you get working, think about a new unit. It may pay for itself with
energy savings.

Oh, that tech worked more than five minutes, unless he lived next door.
And he has a lot of costs to maintain that truck and tools. In this area,
it is about $120 to ring the doorbell.

As I said above, it's on my wish list. I had two bids to buy one at the
time I lost my job. I have to live on meager savings, because my child
support is more than $367 per month, which means no foods stamps or
healthcare.

As to $120 to ring the bell, well that is pure bull****. Not only am I an
accountant, but have owned and ran several businesses over 25 years. I am
not going to break down the costs for you, but he was practically next door.
The one before him lied about a pound on the freon.

I may be a female, but I am not an idiot.lol



HVAC seems to attract crooks, IMHO.
