Yesterday at 6AM my 90+% furnace wouldnt fireup. And it was 10 degrees F outside. Thank god for my woodburning stove, I was able to keep the house at 65 degrees for 8 hours until a service tech got here. The problem with the furnace is that one small rubber line got a hole in it and was causing a back pressure problem. It took the guy 15 minutes to find the problem and I was up and running again. Now here is my concern. That high efficency furnace cost $2400 or so, (I purchased it when I built the house new in 99) I asked the service tech how long the 90+% furnaces last and he said about 10 years. I then said well a regular 80% furnace is about $800 or so. For the extra 1600 dollar difference I get to save about $150/year in Propane. What do you guys think of the high eff. furnaces, are they worth the money and hassle. Or should I just buy the 80% furnace in 5 years from now--of course I will have to have a metal flue installed.

A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm.
