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.

Yeah, as things start dying, we are getting that. My ancient refrigerator, which was about 45 years old, and would make the power dim when it started up died 3 years ago, and that got replaced, and the new energy saver saved us about $15-20 a month.

I still have to get the pool done, I'm not looking forward to that. My savings is going extinct on this house this year.

We think our previous HVAC system was installed sometime in the 40's. Our guy's 70-something year old dad came along to help as they redid everything and seemed to recall installing it when he was just a kid.
