I have an old Singer furnace, model GL1406, which I'm told is over 30
years old (I've owned the house for 23 years). Except for two recent
minor electrical problems which cut off power to the blower motor,
the unit has been working fine. I have been told, however, that the
blower bearings are not in great shape and I should get a new furnace
and it would be a lot more efficient. Our gas bills, in NYC, have
been very high lately, but is it worth $4500 for a new Carrier 80%
efficient furnace + $800 for a "by-pass humidifier" to gain that
efficiency? Prices include installation and readapting ductwork,
plumbing and electric. Which other brands should I consider?

I am with the rest. The price sounds too high, get more estimates and
do look for a more efficient furnace 80% is low by today's standards. I
would not go below 90%
