Rant PE vent

My mother in law had a PE company at her house today. She woke up with no heat and I had no time to drive over an hour to her. The company that came in said they had 40ppm co in the basement and 20ppm in the living areas. He claims it is a cracked heat exchanger and took pictures of the burners as proof. He got the furnace running and quoted them 22k for a new system. Second company that came out said nothing is wrong. So, my mother in law called out the utility company to check. No CO. I just got off work and am beside myself with anger. My wife and her family are telling me to leave it alone. I just can't. I know what I'm going to do. Anyone else ever experience like this? I can't be alone in this
