You won't find me installing a 90+ for $2500

Does that make mine a rip off too?

Wow! This is definitely one of those idiots dumber than the slime
under a rock. Obviously pissed because he was WAY TOO STUPID to figure
out how to change his dirty filter so he had a tech come out and do it
for $100. Man O Man. Must suck to be you.

Instead of him just shooting off his mouth, I will extend the same offer I
gave to Paul.... come on down here and work with me for a couple of days.
Learn *WHY* I charge what I do.

Time to put up or shut up.

What filter?
Oh ya I remember now! The stupid tin basher installed my furnace with the 21 inch
long filter facing a concrete wall 12 inches away.

Why 3k, the furnace costs about $1000, materials maybe $200 so you make
$1300 for less than a days work. I just had one done for approx $2400 (not
Goodman) including a 10 year warranty. Easy access (bsmt) and 2 x 20' 2"
PVC. He said he normally charges $2900 but business was slow in the summer.
