New Furnace (need advice)
I live in a 27 year old 2 story 2300 sq. ft. house in Ontario Canada. I've been noticing that several people in my neighborhood have already replaced there natural gas furnace and figure it's time I do mine. I replaced my natural gas hot water tank (myself) several years ago and also installed a natural gas line for the bbq couple years ago and it didn't seem that difficult. I'm thinking of replacing the furnace myself since the couple quotes I got were outrageous. I’ve seen furnaces advertised online and the same $1000.00 furnace is quoted to me for $1900.00 plus another $1900.00 for installation. Of course I can haggle… but no where near what I’m willing to pay. My problem is that I can't get anyone to sell me one since I'm not in the field. Has anyone ever encountered this problem? Getting the natural gas hot water tank was so easy; I didn't realize that purchasing a furnace was totally different.
I'm still going to keep trying, but I still need to figure out which type and model to get.
