Default New regs to make furnace replacement more expensive

I havn't known that to be a problem. The condensate does tend to be strongly
acidic. I put in a 90 percenter in my own home, I think it was year 2004. It
has been repaired once since then. The draft inducer fan went dead, and I
had to go buy another one.

Doesn't that eventually leave you with an icky sticky gummy residue?

Condensing furnaces (with their extra heat exchanger, sensors,
electronics, condensate handler, etc) isin't much more expensive than a
regular efficiency furnace?


What's condensing in a furnace?? Never heard of that before.
