I Replaced My Furnace With A 96% High Efficiency.

Big difference between 90+% that’s been around for 30+ years and the latest ultra high equipment with lots of fancy electronics and more things to break.

Hi Dave. I have had a 92% efficiency furnace for 14+ years with no repairs yet. Very good install. It is a Goodman. Around that time, 80% efficiency units were being snapped up because new laws were coming into place that made high efficiency furnaces mandatory. I live in Canada. They are doing the same thing now with high efficiency gas fired hot water tanks. The laws are getting more and more strict. PS I was told that to get a 97% (at the time) was so much more expensive for the unit that I would never get the difference back in fuel savings for the life of the unit.

We had a high eff propane heat furnace at our last house and the amount of condensation from the propane exhaust was crazy

Great video! I work in Murray, UT. Just got here this morning and I'm about ready to start work on my old Land Rover Defender engine rebuild and decided to start off the morning watching your video only to find out that I'm probably super close to you. If you're ever in the area, come check it out:)

You are simply the greatest...thxs

You are the best!! After switching from gas furnace to a Daikin heat pump I feel like I was living 50 years in the past, and switching from gas stove I feel like I am living 50 years in the future !! I upgraded my water tank from gas to heat pump and just wow, then I went ahead and got two GE washer/dryer in 1 and holy smoke!!!! Next is solar panel with batteries and a whole house generator connected to the outside gas line away from the house. Please stop using gas you are living in the past and not to mention that even my asthma has gone away after the switch!!! Save on energy, medication, and live longer!

thanks, great video. Would be great to see an ACIQ split ducted heat pump install comparing quality vs other mid tier units for coil construction. Your thoughts on epoxy coated coils?

I knew you’d do it at some point Dave! 😉 Thx for the video!

I need to replace my high efficiency furnace but I’m not sure if I should go with the Goodman or the ACIQ. I like the idea of the easy on panels

I had a Payne system installed 4 days ago. My furnace looks the same with those access doors.

have had my thermo pride oil furnace for 20 years its 84% efficiency and runs like a top (tune it up every year) I think the main reason its lasted this long is the tiger-loop and the copper coated heat exchanger....paid $3000 for it in 2004.

A suggestion, please. You mentioned a video about the dual fuel system. There are many of us who do not see ads or cards in videos. Therefore, we have no idea what video you are referring to when you point to something that is not visible. Can you PLEASE put links for videos in the your More section?

Great Job, can you please let us know where did you take the drain line out side. problems that I'm having is that drain line freeze in the winter time when temperatures goes below 32 degrees thank you for your videos,

It's not unburned fumes going out in an 80% furnace. It's heated air going out the chimney vent, instead of into the ducts.

A variable-speed pump in a building's hot water subsystem increases its efficiency too, and also reduces the internal erosion of the hot water pipes. But I suppose that's a topic for a different youtube channel.

Can you tell me the part number you purchased. Looking online there are 2 units that are nearly identical, inhabitants throughout exact same setup

How is ACIQ for the AC side? The prices are certainly good.

I see you wearing a FilterBuy hat, I tried FilterBuy filters and furnace kept overheating; once i installed honeywell filters furnace runs fine.

When I replaced my tank water heater with a tankless condensing water heater it kinda freaked me out to run exhaust through plastic pipes (PVC).

I don't see any "Multi Stage" furnaces on HVAC Direct's website. No matter how expensive I go. What did you do differently? Is it because I'm looking at bundles and not individual components?
