[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3928396, member: 35036"] I suggest just getting it looked at, or doing it yourself if you're comfortable. Its pretty simple, just look at your wiring, and ductwork, make sure that you don't have any damage, you have good seals, and nothing looks funny or burnt. Check your heat exchanger areas and burners for improper flame colors or weird looking flames. If you have a belt driving your fan, give it a look, check the bearings and shaft play on your fan. grease/oil any points that you're supposed to lube, replace the filters, and call it good. I would suggest investing that money you're saving into a gas sniffer and CO2 tester, you can get a klein et110 and et120 for lass than what I would expect to pay for a "furnace tune up" or whatever most companies are marketing it as.

They can last a long time, especially if you take care of them. I don't have any experience with HVAC companies honestly, but I do know to stay away from those AIr Comfort Solutions guys.
