Our 40-yr-old furnace died this past winter, and we're finally getting around to replacing it. I've had 4 people out to give estimates, and they all said the same thing - small house, so 40K BTU is fine, and the biggest challenge is finding something that will fit in the very narrow closet that was built to house the old one.
There are a couple of Tranes that will work (single or two-stage), or if I go with Day and Night brand, I can get a variable-speed. Price is close enough that isn't not an issue.
I'm familiar with Trane as a good brand, but wonder how much nicer (quieter) the variable-speed would be.
Anyone that's converted from single stage to something else, are you glad you upgraded?
And does anyone have experience with Day and Night brand furnaces?
