I don’t know if I should try to upgrade our old furnace system or just go ahead and replace the whole thing.
My husband and I are actually arguing about it. He’s the kind of guy who likes to fix things and keep them going for as long as humanly possible. I understand that, and I even like that about him most of the time. However, when it comes to the heating system in our house, I feel like it might actually be time for us to go for an upgrade even though our furnace might still have a little bit of life in it. The old electric furnace that we have in our house was here when we bought the place ten years ago. I have no idea how long it had been in the house before that. As far as we know, it could have been here for twenty years or more! And I will readily admit that it has done well for us over the past decade. However, at this point, there have been so many leaps forward in heating and cooling technology that I think we need to upgrade to a newer furnace. I keep telling my husband that if we were to upgrade our current furnace to a newer one, it will end up saving us lots of money on our heating bills in the years to come. Whenever I mention how it will save us money on our heating bills, I can always see him waffling on his decision to keep the old furnace. I know that saving money is always the way to get to him! I think that it is just a matter of time before he comes around to my way of thinking. I’m pretty sure that by next winter, I will have my nice new furnace set up in the basement.
