RE: Furnaces
Sorry folks - don't read this if furnaces are boring to you! lol
Thank you to all people who gave me advise about my furnaces. After much research I finally put in an order for two new Furnaces and new A/C. The important feature of my new system, I think, they are self modulating furnaces. The company did a lot of work, measuring and calculating the size of furnaces required. I always thought "the bigger the better". NOT TRUE. If the BTU is too large, it will cause all kinds of problems. I am getting a 60,000BTU for the main floor and basement. The second floor furnace will be a 40,000BTU. A/C on the second floor furnace only, because cold air moves down. I am also getting a steam humidifier because currently I have a problem regulating the humidity with the cheap humidifier (its too dry in the winter). Also a UV bulb in each furnace to kill germs and bacteria flowing through. I am keeping my regular water heater so they have to line the chimney. CTK wifi thermostats for each furnace. 5" wide corrugated HEP8 Filters. Make of the furnaces: Smart Air 6000. Life time warranty on the heat exchangers ( I think he said they are Aluminum plated steel). TOTAL COST INSTALLED AFTER TAX: $16,650.00 CN, or about $13,000.00 US
