New furnace - A Tale of Two Winters

Yeah, I had the craps of a new furnace a few years back. $2500.00. I had a friend handle it though. I got a larger outside unit to cool/heat better. I have a heatpump. These suck but hey it is what it is. I feel your pain. I would recommend getting a nice portable unit. Large as you can find. Maybe two. These should handle the heating in your home. At least it is less expensive then the furnace and a quick fix for now.

In my basement I have one of those oil portable electric heaters. It keeps my kids warm and believe it or not the heat comes up the split foyer stairs and heats the second floor. It has actually kept the heat pump from working all the time when it hits 30 degrees or less.
