As I agree with most of your posting,
did you see he lives in Canada?

The difference in the higher efficiency furnace may pay off.



Yes all of us Canadians live in -60C temps 10 months of the year.

Reality - there isn't that much difference between northern US and
Southern Canada. It's unlikely that the higher efficiency will
pay off. I've done the numbers several times in the past and even
the higher gas prices today won't make a difference.

PS - lots of heat pumps up here.

Hi,
Here in Alberta, if NG price goes over 5.50 per Giga Joule, government
makes up after that in the form of direct rebate. It is ~7.50 now.
I still pay only 5.50.
Isn't it nice?!
