I have a 21 year old 80,000 BTU 80% efficiency gas furnace than I'm

looking to replace this year or possibly next. House is 1900 sq ft.

The only repair it's needed was an igniter.



Present ductwork and insulation is fine. I am getting new electric

service in a few weeks.



I am looking for a ballpark figure on what I should expect a contractor

to charge to replace the unit with a high-efficiency type...plus add

central air.



I live in Milwaukee and it only occasionally gets up to 100 F...

but we can get up to a week of sold 90+ degree weather.





What is a good, reliable brand?



Between three and four grand.

Goodman. Simple, reliable, inexpensive.



You may also ask a couple more questions.



I don't see how you could get it done for $3K. Just the eqpt/materials is
in the $2500 range for basic, minimal system. Would you put it in for
$3K?
