Is $2,568 to replace a heat exchanger in a 15-year-old Trane furnace a fair price?
Project Details
I had an HVAC company inspect the heat exchanger in my 15-year-old 90% Trane furnace. They performed a thorough inspection with a borescope and flame test, finding one or two cracks. They issued a 'red tag lockout' due to unsafe conditions, which is fine since it's June and I don't need heat. The Trane heat exchanger has a 20-year warranty. I'm in eastern MA. The quoted price of $2568 seems a bit high, but not totally unreasonable. I'm looking for advice on how to proceed.
