Our furnace went out in the home our our 85 year old Mom. It was below zero, I was calling around frantically to find a furnace that could be installed ASAP. The soonest I could find was 48 hours.
Out of desperation perhaps I checked Craigslist, and found an ad that was appealing. A 95% effiency Goodman similar to the one I owned, but this was for $1000 less! I emailed and received a clear reply with further information. I spoke to the owner of the company, Brian who was knowledgable and wanted to help. He said next afternoon he could get it installed.
Brian is not new in business and has had work associations with some of the major gas companies. I checked on the licensing and insurance, and all appeared to be in order.
The job start and ran a bit late, but the bottom line was that only one night without heat was suffered. The bottom line is that the furnance was installed flawlessly, works perfectly. And to top it off Brian came back another day to drop of the warranty, and fixed up the old humidifer which wasn't working.
Although Craigslist isn't where I expected to find high-quality service people at a good price, in this case I did. No extra charges or surprises. I also checked homestars and saw some good reviews but as he was fairly new not a lot. Thank you Craigslist and Brian and his fellow workers and Homestars.
