Is $1,400 to replace the control board on a Lennox furnace a fair price?
Project Details
My Lennox furnace EL296UH070XV36B started malfunctioning yesterday, with the condenser running but the fan not blowing. I'm questioning the quoted price for the control board replacement, as similar boards seem to cost significantly less. I also don't have this kind of money right now due to recent unexpected medical expenses.
