  I have a Carrier home heating furnace 1989

So far working fine but thinking of replacing it with new furnace

Any recommendation what to look for? Any make or model recommendation?

What questions should I ask to HVAC contractor?

I'm sorry to hear that you have too much money.    I'd be happy to act as
broker to get all your old appliances replaced.

     I would suggest starting by talking to your fuel suppler.  See if a
change to a more modern and more efficient model will save you money or not.
After that the only question is how much is the potential increased
reliability worth to you.

    Of course it is possible that the current furnace is not meeting your
current needs so that may require a new furnace.

    Once you do make that decision to buy or not, then it is time to pick a
local contractor.  Talk to family, friends, neighbors and co-workers.  Then
discus the issue of what brand and model with the contractor.  The most
important part of this equation is the contractor not the make of the
equipment.  A good contractor will only recommend what is right for your
specific needs and what works well in your area.  He also will know if parts
are available in your area tor a specific brand etc.

I have one small point you might want to look into.  I
got a new furnace 2 years ago and the only problem I
have with it is that the blower is loud.  You might want
to check on that before you buy a new furnace.
