What size furnace should I buy and for what price?
« on: August 17, 2011, 04:07:17 PM »
Hello I'm new here. Hope this is in the right place.

I need to replace my oil fired furnace. It is a 85,000 BTU output unit. All the calculators for furnace size recommend about 45,000 to 50,000 Btu for my size home and location. I can get a 55,000 unit but the 85,000 unit has a better warranty on heat exchanger. Also better burner and is air cond. ready. Looking for prices for furnace. What problems could I run into by over sizing? This will be second furnace replacement in 25 yrs. Just wondering if being oversized would have anything to do with cracking the heat exchangers. Also, is there anyway to have this replacement done well but cheaply?

We appreciate you came here looking for our opinion. Unfortunately it's off topic considering we are a Outdoor Wood Furnace forum.
