Is $1,300 to install a furnace circuit board a fair price?
Project Details
I accidentally fried my furnace's circuit board while trying to fix it myself. I was an electrician for a couple of years, so I should have known better, but I forgot to turn off the power before pressing against the circuit board. This happened after the furnace had already been acting up, turning on for a day after I cleaned the heat sensors, then turning off again. I'm new to home ownership and still learning about heating units. It's pretty cold, and I'm using space heaters, but I want the furnace fixed before my girlfriend returns next week. I believe I can install the part myself, as I've found a replacement online for around $100, but the technician mentioned they might still need to come out due to the furnace acting up before the circuit board incident.
