Default are newer furnaces more efficient?

FWIW, don't count on saving any money over the life of the furnace
though. High-efficiency furnaces break down a lot as they age.
Any fuel savings you accrue today will be eaten up with expensive
repairs after the furnace is 10 years old or so.

Hi,
My furnace came with 10 year P&L warranty plus heat exchanger is on life
time warranty.


I'm also in the camp of I'd have to see actual data that shows a
negative rate of return over a longer period to believe it true as a
general statement.

My 16 year old furnace gets an annual cleaning and inspection as part of
an annual maintenance agreement, for less that $250 a year, that has
saved me many dollars on several occasions when parts went sideways.

The system will be down for 10 days for preventive maintenance.
