    Heat is not working
    At our home, the heater is not turning on.
    Service tech has identified the problem.
    1. Gas pressure is around 2 wc instead of 3.5 wc. Suggested to change the Gas Valve.
    2. Blower motor making noise and stopping short. Suggested to change this as well.
    I was given an estimate of $900 to $1000.
    Is this the standard charges? If I am going to pay $1000, I thought of looking into a newer furnace. I have talked to one agents (Carrier type furnaces) - gave me a ball park of $2700 (basic) to $4950 (high efficiency). Can somebody help me what should I do at this time?

    Thanks

    Suggested to change the Gas Valve ((adjust the valve?))

    Blower motor making noise and stopping short ((replace motor? )
    Sounds like a rip off to me.

    Get other estimates on repair and replace.
