A brand new furnace would cost less than that and a new basic single stage
+90% furnace should be no more than $2500 installed.

Even down here in rural south Mississippi,(onr of the poorest areas in the
country) the installed price for a 90+ furnace runs over $4,000.

You are nuts! A good 90% furnace installed will be at least 3K probably
more, unless your some shmuck that doesn't plan on having a business
verylong, or are using your bosses trucks and material, or really shitty
equipment with a really shitty install.

Hey you stupid tin basher.......I just love the way you guys try to justify your
90 percent mark up by claiming a better install than the the honest guy down the
street.
Here where I live furnace installers belong to the tin bashers union......what
does that tell ya? Ya I suppose a guy/kid could do a bad job but it wouldnt' be
such a big deal if we were not pay rip off prices for an install of a piece of
tin.
THE BIGGEST MISTAKE IN THE HISTORY OF MAN WAS LETTING YOU GUY"S GO TO SCHOOL AND
CALLING YOU TECHS!
Oh and ps. Did you guys know you are the 2nd most hated on new build next to
framers for shit work and damage caused during an install. No of course you
didn't because you all are sitting here on usenet with your heads up your ass.
