field for 20 years. The real frustration has been with LIFETIME parts that =
kept failing. Now the furnace doesn't work. That's fine. As I was surprised=
that it worked at all in the first place. Haven't replaced the gas water =
heater. YET. So maybe I should call Jim K at Applied to get both from him=

with no labor cost included. I will have a GMC with all new parts in it. No=
