HVAC guy replaced the electronic circuit board controller in my American Standard unit that is 8 years old that cost $2k total to install in 2002. One 15 cent transistor(HVAC man said that!!!) burned out on the board and he said "he had to replace the entire controller". He said that years ago you could get things fixed separately, but not now. My previous furnace lasted 25 years with no repairs and still worked fine when it was replaced. We replaced it due to "greater energy efficiency", but guess how much energy we could buy with that $600 repair cost that we never spent on the old furnace in over 25 years???
Thanks for any suggestions on a better/less costly way to repair my furnace instead of spending $600 for a replacement controller made on the cheap in Mexico that may not even last as long as the previous one.
