He said he was talking across the board, all manufacturers, but it sounded like the main brands he's serviced are Trane and York, does york even make geo units?
I asked him, do you really think a company like Waterfurnace or Climatemaster, really aren't going to have parts stocked 10 years from now? I just find it hard to believe that 10 years from now finding parts will be an issue. He kept mentioning refrigerant.
Should I be concerned at all about finding parts 10 years from now, if I decide to go series 5 Waterfurnace, is that even a concern?
Thanks
