When the Heating and A/C corporate rep arrived last, I was already prepared for him to tell me I needed an updated furnace… I had been getting service after service done over the past several years, and I didn’t believe the old furnace could handle anymore.
I knew my bank could not handle anymore repairs. I wasn’t sure my bank account could handle the cost of a current heater either, but if I had to purchase one, I would find the spare cash. It wasn’t even that cash was the issue with buying the current furnace, and the issue was that I could not get another furnace like the one I had. This furnace has served me well for the last twenty-several years. I appreciated the heat it gave me, and I liked how quietly it worked. The only thing I didn’t like was how much cash it was costing me in constant repairs for the last several years. I’m pretty sure that cash could have gone for a down-payment on a current heater, and covered a hefty chunk of the cost… My fiance Ed told me we had to bite the bullet and put out the cash, but i wanted to find the perfect furnace for our home. Ed and I wanted energy efficiency, and I wanted one that would be quiet. I’m not sure I absolutely knew what I needed other than that, but it had to be as trustworthy as the outdated furnace, and I wasn’t sure that was possible. I’m going to leave the decision on the furnace to Ed, as he has a fantastic head for making costly purchases.
