Our Furnace is Replaced
As mentioned last week, we have recently discovered we needed to replace our furnace. The new furnace arrived around noon today; it was all over by 5:30pm.
Overall, it was a relatively painless process --except for the hit to our household wallet. Then again, if we can keep this unit for another 24 years like the prior model, that would amortize to about $192/year. I can deal with that.

Old Furnace This is the old beast. It lasted 24 years nearly to the day and was dismissed from service 10/20/2010. |

Midway through Replacement The old furnace has been removed and the AC exchanger is exposed. The exhaust systems have yet to be retooled as well. |
 |
New Furnace The new furnace has a similar footprint but is shorter so extra ductwork was required. The exhaust for the water heater was replaced with a larger diameter for code compliance. A new humidifier has been attached to the intake ductwork. All was installed & functional 10/25/2010. |
