This is exactly what doesn't make any sense to me. You can buy
everything else to build a house yourself so why not a furnace? I
understand you need to be qualified and licensed to dispense freon for
the AC but if I know I can put in a furnace I shouldn't have anything
stopping me from buying one. You can buy a gas water heater at Home
Depot so if you're smart enough to shut off your gas and change it out
then why not a furnace?
Anyway I ended up finding a good used one on craigslist, installed it
myself, and it is working great. Thanks for the link, I would have
expected to find a place like that in every major city!
