Not a 17 year old Carrier Furnace in an attic. If you google life
expectancy of a gas furnace it is about 18 years.

It couldn't hurt to get a second opinion. Did the tech show you how he
proved a cracked heat exchanger.

According to MSN.com, Consumer Reports, and some realestate report state
that investment in your heating system should give you a 95-100% payback on
your investment.

My suspicions too. Get your gas compaqny to make a free safety
inspection. A 17 yeaqr old gas furnace should be in pretty good
shape.
