10 years ago I could of (and should of) bought my next door neighbors
house for $169,000. Today homes in the tract go for $600,000.

I thought I was cool and bought a more expensive furnace (Carrier) but
only single stage instead of a cheaper 2 stage. Mistake. I put in an
air-exchanger--which needs the fan to be on in my installation--and now
I wish I had bought the 2-stage. (My solution is something called the
"FanHandler"--advice from Jake (thanks)).

I went with high-effeciency though: I like the fact that the burners
burn very clean and pure air from outside and the PVC seems pretty safe
(my old flue is suspect).

Besides, effeciency is something we should all strive for if only to
burn less harmful fuels... the 'feel-good' factor I guess...

Peace, Dan
