So far, only one service call. In fact, she's dead, but the furnace has
kept on through two additional owners.

Gee, that's encouraging. Furnace save her five bucks,
and kills her to boot. Not me, thanks. I don't want
a furnace to kill me.
I've seen too many high eff furnaces fail eithin 5 years. My
brother's had a circuit board replaced at $400+ a shot 3 times? bedore
the furnace contractor offered him a real deal on a different
manufacturer's replacement - and after it was replaced he found there
was an $80 generic replacement board that would have fixed it - and
didn't suffer from premature death syndrome

Your brother doesn't appear to be too bright. And to think, he's the smart
one of you two.
