Furnace works great!

Consumer from Crystal, MN
Dec 22, 2023

Total Comfort installed my current furnace, which now has a cracked heat exchanger. There is a lifetime warranty on the heat exchanger, but apparently on the part, not the labor to fix (labor is included for first 10 years only). The service tech called my wife and started arguing that the part was not covered and because they were last here four years ago, the warranty would probably not be honored. When I arrived home, the technician was equally nasty to me and seemed only to want to sell me a new furnace. He was pretentious, unfriendly, and when I refused a new furnace said "I'm out of here and walked out the door." I called a manager and they said they would replace the heat exchanger for $2800. They called a bit later and offered to do it for $2500 because they cared about my business. I called other contractors recommended by Checkbook and I am able to get the heat exchanger replaced within 24 hours for $1000 (all inclusive), rather than the "deal" offered to me by Total Comfort for $2500. Keep in mind, the large companies don't want to repair you appliance, they want to replace it. Be sure to get multiple bids.

Where to Find Good HVAC Help

To make sure your heating and air-conditioning systems work when needed, they must be properly installed and maintained. We’ve rated area heating and air-conditioning services for quality and price.

What to Do If You Need HVAC Repairs

If you need repairs, our ratings of local businesses will help you find a good company to perform them.

Choosing New HVAC Equipment and Getting It Installed Properly

How well a new HVAC system performs, and how much it costs, depends heavily on its design and the quality of installation. It’s important to make the right decisions—and there are many to make. You also must make sure to get a fair contract.

HVAC Equipment Features to Consider

If you are installing new equipment, in addition to making choices about energy efficiency, you will need to decide whether to pay extra for various features. Here is a summary of the types of add-ons.

Are Heat Pumps the Future of HVAC?

Improved technology, generous tax credits and rebates, and lower utility bills might have us reconsider how to heat and cool our homes.

Maintaining Your HVAC Equipment

The most important maintenance task for HVAC systems is something you can do yourself—replacing the air filter. Check your filter monthly. When a filter has a matting of dirt—i.e., it’s difficult to see through when you hold it up to a light—it’s time to replace it.

HVAC Maintenance Contracts Are Usually Bad Buys

Rather than paying for individual maintenance visits and repair jobs, you might consider getting a service contract for air-conditioning and/or heating equipment. Many companies try to persuade customers to enter into such contracts.
