I get to buy a new furnace, and a new AC system! Oh frabjus joy.

On the bright side...

The new system is likely a lot more efficient than the old one, which will save you money in the long run. And I believe they're still giving tax credits toward systems that meet certain minimum efficiency standards.

That really sucks.

OTOH, I did the same thing a couple of years back. If you'd like info on the system I went with, let me know.

For the record, I'm *EXTREMELY* happy with my new system.

It's your own personal contribution to getting the economy going again!

Total sympathy here! We got to replace the heat pump this year, and the water system previously. I know what you are going through.

I would love to know what you went with.

Well, apparently the old furnace was 90% efficient, so that won't be easy to improve on, but the AC is likely to end up better. The person doing price quotes will stick to models that get the tax credit.

My AC (more info on my Infinity/SEER-21 unit)

My furnace (more info on my Infinity/80% unit)

FYI - I went with Arundel Cooling & Heating (BBB report) and though I'm not sure what their service range is, I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for similar work!
