Coleman 3500A-816 Furnace
Posted: Sun Aug 26, 2007 10:21 am
Hi everyone, my wife and I just bought a place on the Oregon coast and started with plans on fixing it up. Found this forum while searching the electric Coleman furnace. Man am I glad I did, there is a ton of great information and knowledgable people here.
Have a quick question for you about the furnace. It seems to come on okay yesterday while we were down there putting together our to do list before we move in in about a month. There are extra filters for it so I will be chancing them next time down.
My question this, is this a very effecient heater for a 1600 SQ Ft house. The home is a 1991 and has 6" wide ourside walls and hopefully great insulation. In this area alone the coast we don't get many days of bitter cold. Occationally it will get down in the 20s for a few days but normally 30-40s if I remember correctly.
We are also thinking of installing a heat pump or A/C unit. Any suggestions on which would be better cost wise. Again, along the coast it doesn't get blistering hot but occasionally it will hit the 90s for a few weeks. maybe just a wall unit in the bedroom window for sleeping purposes. I just don't like the security issue with a wall/window unit.
Thnaks for any replies and suggestions. I have a other projects I need hlep with also ! Like a 60" whirlpool tub sticking out the 2nd bedroom wall. I figure some plumber took advanage of the edlery gentleman that owned the place. What a hack job and mess.
