My furnace stopped working the the middle of the night Thursday, so I called Reliable Home Comfort on Friday morning & Dave arrived with his son to look at it Friday evening. He said the circuit board was not working & would need to be replaced. Once that was replaced he would have to then see if the ignition would need to be replaced. The maximum cost if all things needed replacement was $600 including labour. He also answered my questions about replacing the furnace instead & gave me an idea of cost for that option. He said he could work on it that night or wait until Saturday. I chose to wait, because I wanted to discuss with family members who had more experience owning their homes & wanted to compare prices online. I called first thing Saturday morning (today). Dave got the part & came by early afternoon with Jamie, his York furnace specialist. They finished in under 1 hour & only the circuit board needed replacing, so it was well under the worst-case-scenario price. Their cost beat what other competitors were quoting & there was no cost for the initial visit, nor any additional fees for a weekend visit. I'll definitely go with Reliable Home Comfort again.
