[RFI] An HVAC NO RFI experience

[Gary Smith]

Thanks for writing about your *good* experience with your Trane hvac system.

A good experience with *any* product is well worth passing on to others.

Have stored your note so when the time is needed, I can show it to the 
sellers of my new hvac system.

Tnx,

Gary...wa6fgi
