Hi,
Assuming gas price stays put. Regardless saving is a saving however
small it maybe. I went thru same thing couple years ago. They just
installed furnace, gave me CO detector and I declined programmable
thermostat. I installed my own wireless thermostat and the CO detector.
I paid 400.00 less.



I don't see gas prices going down...but no matter what, the furnace will
eventually pay for itself.


I already have a CO detector and the humidifier from the old furnace was
fine, so re-used it...but the rest was new:

Furnace
Air cleaner assembly
Two stage thermostat
The old thermostat would have worked but I was told the two stage
would be better . An insignificant expense at any rate.
Hi,
That's good. I noticed 2nd stage comes on very seldom, only when it is
really cold outside. Few days a month on average. Today it is 13C, on
week end it'll be upto 17C.
