Whats the matter with furnace? Mine went out once, no relighting. Guy came out, slid out a small tube called "ignitor" rubbed some very fine sandpaper over it, stuck it back in and bingo. I always try that one if it's not coming on.

We have a cat that will be 20 this summer. Tater has problems hearing and walking due to arthritis but she seems to be able to see fine. We will nurse her along as long as we can.

I've had a deaf one before. I called her by knocking on the hardwood floor, she came running.....

we were hoping for that easy repair but…

The boiler needed replacing which was 3000.00 parts only. There so far was no availability but they are still checking. We decided to upgrade to the tankless wall hanger type. 8500.00 plus install. They start Wednesday.

Must be the going rate. Mine was 9K installed.

Not to be a painin the ass
I wired 3 of them but what iahve been hearin is they need maintance with buildup onthe inside.
Also not sure if finding some one who works on them may be tough
Do you have natural gas or propane?

I need a new furnace, gonna get the A/C replaced as well......I hate to think what that will cost. Thinking 10,000! That is gonna put a dent in the wallet.

Yep, that’s probably what it will end up costing us too.

I had lederhosen as a kid. Inherited it as a hand-me-down. Some other kid inherited it from me when I outgrew them. Probably still some kid wearing 'em...

I’m hoping like you we will get better efficiency and hopefully see it some in our heating bill

 

[Tattered Old Graywolf]

I looked into a Photoshop and it cost money to use it. I don't know if it's a onetime payment or monthly. What do you have, and do you pay for it?

I bought the Adobe elements years ago. I don't remember what I paid, but it looks like they are about $100 now on Amazon.

Natural gas. Yes finding a gas mechanic is tough. Most of the heating and AC places don’t even have one anymore.
and yes the system has probably not been maintained in the years before we bought it either. It was inspected when we bought the place but probably only to see if it worked which it did up till now. We plan to get a once a year service contract on it as well. Don’t think anyone ever did in the past which may be the reason why we are in this spot when the unit is only 13 years old.

IMHO in my experience if you have the room get a gas boiler and get an indirect hot water heater ,
Both do what they are intended for
A efficient gas boiler makes boiler water efficiently and a indirect hot water heater is very efficient .Boiler can be vented out side .
If it is a wall unit I am thinking of it has heat exchangers for hot water which can get clogged with mineral deposit .
