I found a licensed installer I like, so now I'm deciding on which furnace to put in. The options in my price range are...
ducane CG95CC080V16C single stage 95%
ducane CG95TC080V16C two stage 95%
goodman gmh95 single stage 95%
goodman gmv95 two stage 95%
rheem rgrc single stage 95%
Any thoughts on the above models? which would be more reliable? more efficient?
I'm just putting in a furnace, no ac. The goodman seems to have the better warranty. The GMV95 gets good marks from what I've read (for the money), except this is for a historic two family and I really would like an 'old timey' looking thermostat and most of the two stage thermostats i've seen are too modern. If I'm not going to use a two stage thermostat is there any reason to go with the two stage models? Or can someone recommend an antique looking two stage thermostat?
I don't care about comfort too much. I care about efficiency (to the degree that it's cost effective), and reliability (to the degree that it's cost effective). I'm looking for a toyota not a lexus.
