hello, i had a problem with the furnace and called the local mom and pop dealer to look at it. he stated it was a bad heat exchanger and the part is covered under warrenty, and labor would be 2 hours or $150 i said cool! and told him to fix it. now 2 weeks later i receive a bill for $263.00 ? is that normal??

any help would be great

That's cheap. Be glad it was that low. I think $500 is about a minimum.

Thermostat (thur me-stat') The 1st thing a HomeOwner suspects is wrong which is usually wrong thinking on their part. If in doubt jump it out.
