Hello;

Will be replacing a gas, forced hot air heating furnace in a typical
split level home, here in the Northeast.

I remember at one time the Pulse Type of furnace was quite popular.
I have read about over the years some good things about them, and a slew
of
real horror stories.

When I bought my first house, I noticed what sounded like a car idling at
night and thought somebody was casing the neighborhood. While raking
leaves, I noticed 2 PVC pipes on the side of my neighbor's house that
sounded like a generator running (with PVC exhaust?). Turned out to be
one of those pulse furnaces. While the noise does not really bother me
next door across a double lot now that I know what it is, it does bother
the owner of the furnace who had made various unsuccessful attempts to
muffle it.

I instead enjoy good old fashioned comfortable 1-pipe steam heat.

You don't hear that often, liking the steam stuff. Congratulations!

Have you ever been to the Wall?
