I work for a propane company and have for 16+ yrs and for starters if you pay more than 1800.00 for a new furnace you are getting screwed. I have installed hundreds of furnaces. each have their own advantages and disadvantages. 90+ furnace are great but like you say, is it really worth it...mostly I say it is. key things to remember when buying a furnace is brand name...there are alot of good ones out there. among my faves are amana, york, and lennox...its like buying a car...do you want a neon or a cadillac...both will get you to work but one will out perform the other on a bad day...80 percenters are great...but at todays rising fuel costs, I don't know...6 of one...half a dozen of the other...take care of your furnace and it will take care of you...as far as replacing every 10 yrs...I think not...maintenance is the key...change the filter monthly...keep it clean and free of debris...15-20 yrs would be more like an average number of years that a newer furnace should last without trouble...why else do you think companies like lennox will sell extended warranties that will cover just about anything major for years? not because they are selling junk.
