Gage Lane update / the good / bad / ugly

Well the service tech just left, $169
I just learned way too much , he did everything that Larry asked about
But he also found that my chamber wall is falling down, and a valve that has a leak, he will call next week for that work ..lol

All in All I would tell others to use them (centeral Mass Company)
A cleaning is 120 with the parts electrodes/ nozzle / filters total was 169

It is now running st 82.2 %

Great ending but may i suggest next time just go to the movies and watch Avatar while the kid is on his way that way you have something to do instead of just waiting and getting aggravated.

Thumbs up

Glad to hear that the kid will see Christmas...if he only knew how close he came to holding up BF's basement floor. Larry , sounds like you did real good ,too!

You are friggin insane.....I was extremely happy but the kid did alot of work and great work at that so we wrote him a check for $300 bucks! So where the original cleanout was gonna cost $225 all that work and a virtually new furnace cost us $400!!!! Sweet! Alot of aggravation though!
That's awsome. Should have given him a smack on the head those as you handed him the 300. Might have been a nice opportunity for a chat about tardiness. Glad it all worked out. Merry Christmas

Poor kid is probably running around like a chicken with his head cut off this time of year, especially if he is as good as you say he is. Mind sharing his info in a pm I could use a tuneup/ cleanout..

Thats why he still walks and breaths! I knew he was damn swamped and he works alone. Buried with no heat calls.....but he needs to be more up front and honest about what time he is gonna show at a customers house! He did a fantastic job!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
