Replacing existing furnace
Posted: Sun Feb 22, 2009 2:44 am
Hi!
Our double-wide was purchased new in 2000 and is approx. 1600 sq. ft. The furnace is a Miller M1MB 090A BW which is located in our utility room at the end of the house. It's enclosed with walls on 2 sides but the front is exposed. Our heat bills have been really high although we keep the thermostat at 68 during the day and 65 at night so we are considering a 2 or 3 stage high efficiency replacement. Does Carrier make them for MH's? We are having a Sear's rep. come up next week (that's the brand they sell) to assess our needs and I was wondering what kind of questions we should ask so we aren't going to be sold something we don't need or want. What size should we be looking at? Can you give us a ballpark figure on what the cost will be? I know everyone charges differently but I'd kind of like to know what we can expect in price. Would you even recommend a replacement furnace and do you think it would be cost efficient for us to do this. Any help you can give us will truly be appreciated as we are novices in this field.
