High Efficiency Furnace - ductwork changes needed?
We can't *see* it from here, your best bet is to call your local,
*competent*, licensed, insured, professionally trained, HVAC technician to assess your needs and properly install a correctly sized furnace for your maximum comfort and minimum utility bills. "Christian Fox" wrote in message ... Hi, I'm planning on getting a high-efficiency natural gas-fired furnace to replace our current 15-year old standard-efficiency furnace within the next year or so. I've heard that the high-efficiency furnaces require different ducting, and use a vent on the side of the house rather than a chimney as an exhaust. Our current furnace has two insulated ducts going to the side of the house, and the chimney running to the roof. If I get a new high-efficiency furnace, is it likely that the ducts to the wall will need to be changed? The reason I ask is that I'm considering finishing my basement, and if I do the ducts won't be easily accessible. If the ductwork will need to get changed or replaced, I'd rather do that before finishing the basement ceiling. Thanks in advance for your help! Christian Fox |
