Hello! I am currently interested in a really cute home I found, but it has an oil furnace - I don't know if that is really a bad thing but my dad always told me "do NOT buy a home with an oil furnace, you don't want that." But here I sit, I found a really cute home and so far the only thing I see wrong is it has an oil furnace.
I am researching costs to replace the old oil furnace with a two-stage or variable-speed blower since I live in the NE part of WI where it gets reaaally cold and this type of furnace is said to be the most efficient for keeping the house an even temperature. Also there is a tax break going on right now until December 31, 2007 if you upgrade to a furnace that is 90% efficient or higher, you can claim $150 on your taxes...not much for spending a few grand but hey, money back is money back LOL!
Just wanted to hear a few personal opinions for those who have researched and installed new furnaces...what brand did you go with, and why? And most important...how much did it cost, including installation?
