I purchased a mobile home 18 months ago and replaced the water heater in April ($1,600) and now I need a furnace. It is an Intertherm MGHA 075 A8FC-01 and 16 years old. According to the first two repairpersons there is a hole in the heat exchanger and they said it is more cost effective to replace the whole furnace at this point--about $2,000.00. The man today said the hole was due to a defect in the design. My question is--if I'm going to come up with all this money where to I find the research on quality ratings for these products? Does anyone have recommendations? I have two other companies coming tomorrow to give estimates. It's a single wide 14x76.
Thanks, Jeanne
