Well, I just came home and my thermostat is set for 69 degrees and it is 65 in my house with cool air coming out of my ducts. I guess my furnace finally went. I've only been in the house for 2 winters but there are service stickers going back to 1979 on the unit, so I guess it was due. I don't think it is worth having it looked at to be fixed due to its age, so I am probably going to replace the system. I have a company that installed my central a/c coming tomorrow to give me an estimate. Any idea what I should expect for cost, so I don't get sticker shock tomorrow? This company mainly deals with Carrier.
My house is 1,100 square foot ranch. Natural Gas. I would probably replace the duct work as well since there are holes in it and they haven't been cleaned in what looks like forever.
I'm guessing with the upgrade in efficiency over my 30+ year old model it should be worth it. I have a 5 month old so I can't really wait and of course this weekend will be the coldest yet.
I Just got a new boiler (new yorker boiler) paid $3,300. It's being installed this weekend. The guy doing it used to service our oil burner. I am swtiching over to gas 100% since it's already coming into the house. I know I am repeating myself, forgive me.
Probably something simple like a $25 thermocouple (if it's gas) If you have the money to replace it, go ahead, if not, or if you need heat now, it's a simple fix. Don't let the size of the unit fool you. It;s a really SIMPLE machine.

Yes, replace the thermostat/battery. Its just 2 wires.
I paid $6150 for my OIL burner Fully installed. 2 guys here for 8 hours. Last year, two weeks BEFORE Xmass. Some Xmass present! LOL
I have about the same square footage of a ranch as you do and my gas forced hot air furnace is original with the house from 1971. I asked my HVAC guy what the cost would be to replace the furnace (if it goes), and he's given me price ranges of $2500 to $3500. It depends if you want to go with one that is most efficient.
