Anybody got one of these?

That's cool to be able to fix it yourself.  I know that is satisfying.  And it doesn't hurt that your wife thinks you are now "da man"!  I felt like a wimp last winter when we had to change out a whole furnace because the dumb controller card (burnt and blackened) cost so much to replace.  We just replaced the entire thing since it was already 25 years old and had a cracked heat exchanger also.  Luckily I have good friends in the business, but still hurt the checkbook.

It's amazing how much you can save if you can fix minor things yourself. Just to get a service tech to our house is $500.00 then the hour meter starts!!! Ann figured between the new water heater, new heater, fixing the dishwasher twice (bad control panel) and replacing a broken french door myself we saved almost $10,000.00 in the last two years.  :o
Kuddos to you for the good repair TestRocket  :)

Caney, I've got a buddy that last year he had to also replace the entire unit because of a cracked heat exchanger. Around here law won't let you fix it you have to replace it! $$$


Thank you iceman! I'm like you I'll give it a try first also!

Thats outrageous.  I'm on a rant against municipal code departments right now.  Just elected a Gov that said he is willing to look at changes to the positive.  It is incredible the step up in rules and regs they have instigated in many places in just the last few years.  I will stop now before I get hostile.
