    Used Furnaces. Good or Bad Idea?
    I am thinking about purchasing a few used furnaces from a homeowner whom is leveling a two family dwelling. I think this is a cost effective method, rather then buying brand new. Is this something that can be done, and is there anything I should know in advance? Are used furnaces something to stay away from?:confused:

    If the home is being knocked down what condition do you think the furnaces are in? This doesn't sound like a good plan to me. I have bought dozens of used cars in my life but when ywas the last time you met someone who bought a used furnace?
