> Goodman GMS8 80% 70,000 BTU Furnace
> Centurion ACO 30 2.5 ton Air Conditioner

> The central air is new, so they had to run 40 feet of stuff to connect

> Wisconsin where we only have 3 weeks every year when you need A/C, but

> Prior to the installation, the sales man said the whole project should

> I suspect I'm up a creek on this one since I didn't get the salesman's

> amounts for the hardware, no sales tax calculation... just a flat 5k.

> Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this one.

Did you get kissed afterwards???
