I'm thinking of replacing the furnace in the home I just purchased and I would appreciate some advice on recommended brands.

I know that it would help those who are most qualified and knowledgeable to answer your question the best if they could have an idea as to what type of furnace you presently have and how large your home is and what type of furnace it is that you are wanting to purchase. I house-sit for some people that have actually two furnaces in there home as well as two central, home air conditioners.

Thanks!

All brands are about the same. The quality comes from a good installer who knows what they are doing.
