@Ned J. The part that failed was on the furnace itself and not the connecting point. I did hire them and pay for that specific part to be new. The company in question is an extremely large company that services gas for our entire state.

@Brian Kantor Thank you for your response! I do have some pretty good evidence as the piece that gave out is completely rusted and clearly not two weeks old. They also informed me there is a date on those pipes somewhere but they now have it in their possession. I haven’t heard the date yet but hopefully they realize they are at fault and have no choice but to do the right thing. I’m sorry you are dealing with something similar. Its never an easy task.

My furnace recently died and I hired the local fuel company to install a 10k furnace. The price seemed pretty steep but it died when it was -30 out and I had tenants in the unit. Two weeks after the install I get a call from my tenants that a pipe burst and the entire basement was full of water. It turns out that when they installed the furnace they took an old part (30 years old) and stuck it on my new furnace and of course had no intent to install the correct new piece. That part exploded resulting in the flood. The assistant manager at the store is trying to make me put in a insurance claim with my homeowners instead of using their insurance. I have a $1,000 deductible and don’t want to have to pay out for their negligence. Do I have grounds to sue? Suggestions?

@Nolan Yamada I have been Airbnbing my home for a year now and have decided to keep my normal insurance and rely on Airbnb’s insurance policy if there is ever any damages from renters. I have had to use Airbnb’s insurance twice during the year and they took care of absolutely everything and always took care of me. I do wonder though if it came down to the worst scenario if that wouldn’t be enough.

@Jay Mitiguy I would love to join a video call on a Thursday night 

Hello Eva, I just bought a duplex in VT. I am now looking for a CPA. I am curious who you ended up going with? 

Hello my name is Shelly and I am new to BP. I own a duplex in Morrisville and live in Stowe VT. Is anyone still doing any types of meet ups? I would love to get to know other people in the area and am hoping to expand my portfolio soon.
