I had a friend call me because she had just been told that her heat exchanger is cracked and she needs a whole new furnace. In these difficult economic times, this can come as a real blow to your budget to have an unexpected 8000 bill. We had just had an excellent Lakewood CO HVAC company service our furnace and gave her their name so she could get a second opinion.
Surprise, surprise, she did NOT need a new furnace. All she needed was for a tube to be unclogged and regular filter replacement. This is not a rare occurrance. We were telling a friend about it and he had the same company tell him the same thing when his house was fairly new.
So beware of scams. Follow your instincts. If you think, wow, my home is not that old to need a new furnace, it probably doesn’t need one! Get another Lakewood CO heating and cooling company to take a look. It could save you thousands of dollars.
