[QUOTE="TinkerTanker, post: 3928542, member: 50228"] 100% agree! Ours was a 1984 or 1986 model with three of the four heat exchangers cracked. Our heating bill in the cold months was over $500. Now it's rarely over $300. If you replace it yourself you'll save a ton of money. I just looked ours up. With a concentric vent kit (only one hole in the roof), PVC pipe, thermostat wire, and some additional metal for the size difference (Knockdown Plenum, they called it), it ws $1933 and i put it in myself. Hardest part was digging out the old one that weighed over 100 lbs and dumped rust all over me and the floor. This was furnace only, not AC coil etc. The lowest bid I got to replace it for me was $5500. And that right there is why plumbing and HVAC companies always drive new trucks! [/QUOTE]
