So, just how did you determine that the HVAC tech was "licensed?" As far as I know, there is no more license required to be in business than a simple business license and insurance. How else do you think some of these scam outfits get into business?? While there may be some level of licensing to work on HVAC equipment, I would bet that not every tech sent out on a call is licensed or certified.
First, while it takes a lot of will power not to flame George (he posts what he had for breakfast and what color his boxers are some days), you are going to the other extreme.
I am all for testing for the presence of CO. I am all for having it done by a professional. I am also for PROVING that there is a problem BEFORE fleecing people out of their hard earned money. When working with gas, I would ALWAYS err on the side of caution. Getting too casual with gas can be fatal. BUT, seems to me that the HVAC guy was called because the furnace was NOT WORKING. Condemning a furnace without proper testing is a bit hasty. Apparently a "short answer" guy.
What George did may not have been the best course of action, I doubt that there was any issue of legality.
Lastly, I do believe that the gas company WILL check and test for CO as well as checking the operation of the furnace. I know that the gas company that I have will not only do testing, they also do furnace replacements. After all, as has been said, their business is to sell gas. you can't sell gas to a dead customer. They have a vested interest in keeping their customers alive.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
