After having three quotes from HVAC technicians they all said that the heat exchanges were cracked and the furnace needs to be replaced.

Codes have changed and while you think you are simply installing base heat, you may also have to upgrade a ton of other things as well.

Hi @Matt Speer and @Mihir Bhimaraju Would you guys mind sharing on here or via DM any names of heating/cooling people you liked?

A handy guy did some heat and hot water maintenance in a triplex property for me.

I feared what she was up to, but didn't even know where the key for that house was after 9.5 years.On 10/3/18, I received a call from the City, which provides gas for heat, water, sewer, trash.

I don’t know yet about the water heater or heat pump .

We recently experienced this exact scenario...the landlord hadn’t raised rents in almost 30 years and the tenants had heat/hot water included!  

HVAC and forced heat?

When I say that’s all that I do, let me tell you what to expect in the life of a landlord and all that they do. 3 am Christmas Eve Tenants call-Furnace went out.I get up, phone calls made, emergency call, expensive triple overtime to the Heating Contractor, Tenant has heat.

But if its in my name I can keep an eye on the bill to ensure they are using heat to keep the pipes from freezing and making sure there are no bad leaks (if bill goes to high).
