The Furnace Project
This week we’ll be replacing our furnace at home. The current unit is approaching 30 years old and has been giving us trouble each winter, resulting in an annual visit from the repairman. This year we decided it was time to replace the unit with a new 2 stage model, and correct some of the existing limitations with the duct routing and air handling. I spent most of yesterday in the attic installing plywood runways along the long axis of the house, and moved the insulation out of the way to make it easier for the installers to walk around up there. I also moved the smoke detector in the hallway to make space for the air return that will be mounted in the ceiling.
The actual installation project is scheduled to begin Wenesday morning and should be complete by mid-day Friday. I’m looking forward to having this project complete despite the price tag and messy inconvenience of having to do it.
