Furnace rentals

[Carbent]

I'm just curious, I know you can rent a water heater. Are there furnace rentals anywhere?

Not sure about the rest of Canada but the local reliance home comfort office is offering rentals.

how do you rent a furnace?

[joeschmo]

i dont get it you have to have duct work ran for a rental is this a long term thing instead of buying it or just for a week or 2

7 yr term. Install, maint, repairs, filter and hum pad included. Pay monthly.

They rent everything.... water tanks, hrvs, ac, furnace

That's very interesting. What does something like that cost a month? I wonder if that would be a profitable business here in New York

By the time you finish paying off the furnace you probably end up paying several thousand dollars more than what's it worth.

That's exactly what happens. My dad rented a hot water tank from Union gas back in 83 @ $13/month.
We didn't pull it out until 26 years later. Total cost of rental $4258.
Cost of replacement at Home Depot for a 40gal rheem $470.

I guess it's like leasing a car or paying a mortgage. If you cant write a check for it, you pay in installments....and pay and pay.

So if you have a new home and you want to rent a furnace, you would have to buy the ductwork installation separate?

[DeHeatify]

We dont do new home construction anymore.. so it eould be a retrofit eith existing ductwork

[DeHeatify]

I know you can get a 2 stg, dc blwr rheem with 14 seer (I think) ac , media filter and hum for around 130/mo.. all inclusive

[DeHeatify]

I think the rental cost would depend on what you install.. I just send in a sales guy.

DeHeatify, your company rents them out?

[DeHeatify]

sales men like this get told no thanks and shown the door.
his sole purpose is to sell new equipment even if the slightly older stuff works just fine and might not be that inefficient .
if a pro wants a new system he can install it him self or call someone who can
