Furnace repair - igniter and flame sensor
Hi guys - this weekend we needed some furnace help, turned out to be fairly basic as the igniter was failing. Had two parts installed (if igniter and flame.e sensor, now its running like a top).
Service was good from who we went with but wow did the price of the parts seem astronomically high. I won't touch HVAC stuff as I have no training, but I know what those 2 parts are and what they do, and you can find them online easily with the part numbers, and inexpensive.
My question is, is it normal for an HVAC company to do a huge markup on these things? Labour and cal out fee were reasonable, but a 800% on a flame sensor seems crazy. If that's the price of business for a repair service then I'll let it go, hoping industry guys could chime in
I didnt say anything at the time because we were stressed and my wife really wanted the furnace running again
