with any luck, it isn't the tech who sets the prices. When I worked
for Sears, in 1996, we had a price book that we could not modify. My
guess is the tech is following the price book, and that the company
that hired him set the prices.

Three c'notes sounds a bit too high for an ignitor. Trane's parts
tend to be proprietary, but still a bit high.

You can't shout down a troll.
You have to starve them.
.

I have a Trane XR90 Condensing Furnace that was installed in a newly
constructed house in mid-2003. The ignitor (or "igniter, depending on
who is spelling) has been a constant problem. I've had it replaced it
once year. The first two times were blamed on gas supply being
interruptions and the ignitor gettting heated up and cooling down
repteadly. This time there has been no supply interruption. The
ignitor
is just "bad". I get no satisfactory explanation for this, especially
when this type of ignitor (silicon nitride) is supposed to last for
years.

To compound the aggrevation, this time the part is out of stock. So
while I wait in the chill air of my den for Monday to roll around, I
started surfing the web to see how hard the part (Trane's part number
IGN00117) is to find and how much it costs. Last year I was charged
$336 for the part and $99 for installation. It appears to me that the
price for the part was grossly overstated. But before I go all
ballistic on some hard working service tech, I'd like to know if I am
right.

Anyone with any thoughts ??

SILICON NITRIDE IGNITORS....very rarely go bad ( that was the idea of them)
80 volt....if I have replaced more than a dozen in 4 years, I would
exaggerating
And the guy raped you.......he must be a thief without a mask
Did he kiss you also...because you got screwed and didn't even get kissed

i hope you got a kiss with that. if its the same ignitor that i think it
is, it cost me $13 which means ill charge you $39 for the part + 1 hour
labor at $60 + $10 trip charge = $109.

heh....ok.....rephrase. $10 trip charge for anything inside the billings
city limits, $20 trip charge inside yellowstone county. outside yellowstone
county, $1 per mile round trip + travel time (standard hourly rate) applies.

btw, my clock starts from the time i leave my shop to the time i get back (i
estimate the return time based on the initial travel time).
