Because I really wanted to have to spend a few thousand dollars

on a house I hate. The heater was broken, the heat exchanger was cracked, I saw video, so the guy turned it off, because that puts Carbon Oxide into the air, which is bad. Not enough to set off the detector, but enough to cause headaches.

Sigh.

So, we had the first guy out, the only good news was he said, "hey, this won't break the bank, and we are starving for business."

I have two more companies with good ratings on Angie's list coming out on Monday. Nice of them to work on a holiday. At least, nice for me.

We are not only going to replace the furnace, but the ancient ac as well. The first guy said they would pull and replace the ducts, as opposed to putting in new ones.

I just hate this. I mean really and truly hate it.
