    About five years ago the exhaust fan on my furnace started making noise. It sounded like a bearing issue, so I figured out the correct replacement part, ordered it and installed it myself.

    It cost a little under $200 all told. I know that the service call would have been at least $500.

    So many of the things we own are made of generic parts that you can buy off of amazon for less than the cost of getting a guy to come look at it.
