Is $1,500 to repair a furnace with a cracked heat exchanger a fair price?

Project Details

My furnace went out. It has a cracked heat exchanger and is dumping CO through the vents. My father-in-law, who worked as a technician for 15 years, confirmed the issue. I am trying to decide which route to take.

Quote Details

This option involves repairing the existing 13-year-old Carrier furnace. - Repair: Replace the cracked heat exchanger - Heat Exchanger Warranty: Under warranty - Labor Cost: $1500
