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.
