New furnace time (heating and hot water)... Had some visits and offers and in the fine tune ???'s and deciding mode.....
Pretty much narrowed down to 2 offers that are about 4k apart...... The cheaper one has a couple minor inconveniences but liveable.... Boiler is not made in germany but has a good reputation.... More expensive is made in germany and don't have the inconveniences...
The headscratcher is....... SWMBO googled and had her boss check both contractors out..... The cheaper one has only been doing heating a couple years and is just a contractor (??) that just sells the package and subcontracts the installation....... Did the same thing with other unrelated stuff a year or two at a time in the past......
The more expensive guy is a technician himself the company he sells has it's own crews that he manages and does the final inspection......
He's been at it 20+ years....
Gut says the more expensive, but it's a chunk of change........ Is it worth it??
