Before You Book a Furnace Tune Up This Fall, Watch This Or Pay for It All Winter

🔧 Everything I learned fixing HVAC for 25 years, in one plain-English book. 📘 THE HVAC SURVIVAL GUIDE - get it here: https://raydutton.com You booked the furnace tune-up, took the morning off to let him in, and twenty minutes and 59 dollars later he was gone. Now there's a sticker on your furnace with today's date and a checkmark, and you'll trust it all winter. But the one test that tells you whether that furnace is making carbon monoxide may never have happened. I spent twenty-five years doing these fall tune-ups, eight or nine houses a day, and I know what fits into twenty minutes and what gets left out. In this video I walk you through five things to know before the tech shows up: what the coupon really buys, what a real tune-up looks like from start to finish, the 'while I'm here' part swap, the plan they pitch at your kitchen table, and the combustion test that measures carbon monoxide. I also give you the fair side: a cheap coupon doesn't mean a crooked company, parts do wear out, and some plans are a good deal if you do the math. And I'll give you the one sentence to say when you book, so you walk away with real numbers instead of just a sticker.
