Talk to another rep. . He said that it was better or cheaper to just put
in (5 ton over the 3 ) geothermal system instead of a split geothermal
, and get rid of the oversize pipes and furnace. When they put the
geothermal system in ,then they will replace or reconfigure the pipes.
Now i'm wondering if the pipes from the last furnace should be replaced
now (as soon as possible to increase the performance of the present
furnace ) , since they are so inefficient. The old pipes must be 30 +
years old. Or just wait until i can put the new geothermal system in.
