Just last week my wife and I had a brand new furnace installed.
Our old one had to be replaced after 20 years of good use.
I find it hard to believe that it has already been 20 years since I first moved into this home, I still remember when that oil furnace was the newest available at the time! After our children had grown up and moved out to live their own lives, we decided that we wanted to purchase our final home. We found the perfect little house on the outskirts of town and we both settled into our retirement. I still remember the first time using that furnace, but now it was old and we replaced it with a nicer and modern electric furnace. Buying the new furnace with the easy part, having it installed into our home was the harder part of the whole process. We had a very nice HVAC technician that came to our home as planned to install the new furnace, he was very professional and you could tell when you talked to him that he was the kind of guy that had been in the industry for a long time and really knew his stuff. Still, the new furnace had some problems that popped up during the installation process, and the heating professional had to tamper with it for quite some time before he was able to get it installed correctly. It took a couple of hours longer than expected but in the end it was successfully installed and it has been working well for us since.
