After getting screwed on my furnace repair this last winter, I think it was because I was a woman. I decided to try the diy thing. I was able to find what I needed by researching it online got parts #s and everything, have to admit it was pretty easy. I kinda sorta had an idea of what possibly happened and why it stopped working. Since my own labor costs are pretty cheap it was an easy repair. I can't even imagine what the price of a service call/repair would have been. For me this was an eye opener. FYI, I did cross reference my furness parts, after the fact and the 2 parts I needed cost less than $100 and the repair guy have me the bargin price of $900. So it doesn't hurt to have the service call, but you may want to do some research before you commit to the repair so you know what the problem is. Maybe it's something you can diy, do your own research could save you a ton of money, even if you have to phone a friend to help.
