Please do you and your wife a favor and shop contractors. Very
seriously look at this model from Carrier. It is sooooooo nice. My
electric bill was cut in half, my gas bill went down last winter by 15%
and the air in my home is constantly moving which eliminates cold spots
and provides overall comfort.

This is what I own (58CVA or Weathermaker 8000V)

If you have the extra money and it is appropiate for your situation I
would get the

as your gas bill will go down much more

Darrell,
You have no clue what you are talking about. You do know that you
posted the same exact link above, Twice?
The second furnace you are speaking of will NOT make your bill go down
MUCH more. Your Carrier salesman has done quite a number on you.

When comparing AC condensing units I would go with a 12+ seer and buy a
unit that uses R-410a refrigerant. http://www.puron.com/

Once again, you have been "snuckered" by Carrier. Given the choice, Id
take the R-22 for now.

As far as other brands ... Rheem, Trane, American Standard? None of them
can compete with how QUIET and reliable a Carrier or Bryant variable
speed furnace is.

Wrong, once again, bucko. All 3 of the brands you mentioned above are
just as quiet and more than your "wonderful" Carrier. By the way, You
DO know that Bryant and Carrier are one in the same? No, I didnt think
you did.

Oh yea don't let the contractors glorify the furnace
and charge you too much. Keep shopping until you get the price that
makes sense. Make sure they breakout the bill, labor and material. You
want to see what they are charging labor for ... ALL HVAC equipment has
the potential for high profit.

Yeah right. You are going to change the contractors price? Keep
shopping for the cheapest contractor you can find and you will get
EXACTLY what you pay for...Period! Here's another clue. The price I
give you is what you will pay. I dont break it down on an install. You
dont like it? Go find yourself a cheap hack. It costs what it costs
buddie boy.
