4. Looking at prices at a glance
Edited on Sat Jun-05-10 11:57 AM by Wash. state Desk Jet
between three and five thousand -if you shop those numbers would seem about right. Stinky clown seemed to zero in installation and parts. Going through your fuel supplier as Paper roses mentioned will always come at a higher cost.A client had a issue in a apartment building he owns about two years ago, the gas furnace was old and worn out. The tennant called the gas company to have it fixed . The gas company said it had to be replaced at a cost of almost four thousand dollars=,simple swap out -vent already in place.

The client went into flip city over that, it was November.A replacement furnace-gas though a local supplier quality name brand cost only $1,400. The furnace was over rated for the unit ,but the client replaced with the same or equal-needless to say the thing kept the place warm.Although he could have spent $800. on a furnace rated for the sq. footage, output all that.

The gas company in there estimate had already determined all gas lines and fittings were satisfactory, as was the venting. In trade terms that is what you call a basic swap out. In total after installation the savings exceeded $2,000. When you add in another $500. for the gas company service package ,even a basic swap out could cost $5000 if you don't shop around.

And when you buy through a supplier all warranties go into full effect.You will require a qualified installer.
Or simply have it inspected by the gas company ,than send in the inspection report with yer warranty, if you do it yourself. !

Now you have some numbers to look at. ! I think Stinky and paper roses put you right in the ball park. If you shop around ,you will save money,it is just that way.

Good luck with your search.
