[HVAC servicing, DIY or not?]

Though the modern furnace has a curcit board that gives a code. You still need to know how to read the code and figure out why the part went bad. Sometimes we have to take a component out of the system to see if that is the cause of the problem. Recently replaced a 2 stage heat exchanger. The furnace never went into high fire and went off on pressure switch. We had to call the manufacturer with this issue. After a long phone call found the cause of the issues and the solution. 

I personally hate going on a service call after the homeowner has "tried to solve the issue. The first thing I have to do is fix the homeowner repair and then find the real issue. 

Paying $240 for a furnace cleaning/tune up is very high. Our shop does this for less than half of that price.

 

That really depends if your a techy guy. some really can't do anything, They don't even know how to unscrew. But for me I need to call the manufacturer after you did your best, then my last resort would be calling HVAC guys.
