GF is right to want to replace the furnace. A bad heat exchanger is a killer. I myself would have condemned the furnace and disabled it so you would not be able to use it. And I can do it by law. If you have any concern that the exchanger is bad have them prove it to you when they get it out. You can see if so ask. Now my take on all the high efficiency units out there in the world. Scam. Ask them what the replacement cost for a variable speed motor is installed. It may shock you and will this company be there when it goes out. The controls in that motor alone are sensitive and do have problems. They will come back.
i agree with corey, these motors are very expensive to replace, and i have seen some problems with them. and with a 400 dollar dealer cost on this motor, i would have to say that you would be probably looking at 600 or more your cost. its just not cost effective. see, they only charge 300 or so more for the furnace to get you locked in, then when you have a failure, they stick it to you real hard. and try to find a contractor that has one on their truck at midnight.
Excellent thinking, turning bad news into a way of saving you money instead of just old shool thoughts of spending money for home repairs, it will soon be the year 2010 and we have better options than ever before.
Ask someone else to sit next to you or sit in the middle of the three desks so he can't be by you.
I would go with the variable blower. It's much more comfortable, quiet and economical. I don't know about other brands, but I have never had one go bad. I install Arcoaire and Comfortmaker, which is the same as Bryant/Carrier (same factory) and it comes with a 10 year parts warranty, and a 10 year no hassle warranty (free furnace replacement if the heat exchanger cracks). Also if the blower motor did go bad the furnace circuit board is configured so a standard blower motor can be used if the tech didn't have one on his truck. I'm not so sure about the brand you chose. I installed one westinghouse a few years ago and didn't like it. By the way, it's CO that's the dangerous one, not CO2 Be sure the furnace is at least 95% efficient so you can get the 30% tax credit off your taxes. I'm a contractor.
