Wow, sounds like they want you to finance their company retirement plan.

I've had very good service from Matson Mechanical in Cary, 469-3304. 
The installer that put in our current system in 2001 went out of 
business, and it started having problems.  We called Matson after 
another neighbor recommended them.

Carlos at Matson didn't waste my time trying to sell us a bunch of new 
hardware.  He did analyze our installation, make some useful suggestions 
for improving its efficiency, and fixed the problems it had developed. 
The fees were quite reasonable IMO.

For reference purposes, I would not recommend a Goodman gaspack combo 
unit like the one we have based on our experience.  It has needed too 
many major repairs, and was miswired at the factory in a way that 
damaged some of its components.

I strongly recommend talking to an HVAC company that is not interested 
in spending so much of your money.
