Furance Work

[stevekenson]

So we're finally replacing our furance and, being us, have procrastinated long enough for it to happen in the midst of winter. They're working on things in the basement right now. Fortunately it's not as cold as it could be on a day in early January in NH, but it's still blood cold with no heat while the work on installing the new furnance. Our old one was the original furnance installed when they build our condo in the mid-80s, so it's like 20 years old, which is about 5 years past its operational life-span. It hasn't totally conked-out, but it could at any time, so better to take care of it before it becomes an emergency.

In spite of the inconvenience and expense, the good news is a new furnace will be more energy-efficient (far more, from what we've been told), meaning it'll burn cleaner and use less oil, which should hopefully lower our oil bill, which is a very good thing for this winter or rising oil prices. Still, I'd like them to be done so I can go about my life again.
