High Efficiency

Our house was built in 1978, and the furnace and AC we've been using are the originals. The units have lasted well beyond usual life expectancy, but there was rust in places where rust isn't helpful and the system needed several hundred dollars worth of repairs to keep functioning. Solution... get a new high efficiency system!!

We checked around and went with a family owned company with a really good reputation. Two guys, Sal and Hector, wonderfully professional installers, were here a good part of the day Saturday, and the system is in. We'll have to live here quite a while for the savings to pay for the new system, but I figure we were on the road to have to replace the old one anyway. Plus, our monthly bills will be less and we'll be "reducing our carbon footprint," as they say on the news.

Here are a few pics I took Saturday.

Here's the old furnace from the garage after they pulled it out.

According to this tag they were pretty proud of their work back in '78. I guess they were right since it lasted 30 years.

Here's the old outside unit.

This is Sal, the lead installer, a very knowledgeable and courteous professional.

And this is Hector, who installed the outside unit and did a lot of the electrical work. He's also a good guy with a great sense of humor.

Here's the new high efficiency outside unit...

... and the new furnace and inside part of the AC. Don't expect we'll be here 30 years from now, but we plan to enjoy the savings and comfort of the new system for some time. Come by for a visit and you can enjoy it as well. :)
