I currently have a 20 year old Carrier Gas Forced Air furnace model number
An HVAC company wants to replace this with a Carrier model 58STA110. He says this will result in the same or greater output as my unit. Is he correct?
Thanks,
J.
Sounds like someone doesnt trust someone? Maybe if he stuck a feather up your ass you would trust him more? Bubba
Probab;y, yes. Do some math...if your old furnace is 80% effcient the output is 100,000 BTU. If the replacement is 90% or better you have
99,000+ BTU, close enough for practical purposes. HTHJoe
I don't know the efficency of the old unit, and neither does the person I spoke with at Carrier. The new unit is 80%. The old one was made in 1985.
Hi, Where do you live?
Load Calculation, PERIOD!
Sounds like someone isn't doing a load calc. :-(
Why, you looking for a date? I hear Stormy's available.
Hmmm, I did not ask you. Local climate and energy cost are a factor in selecting things like furnace.
No s*it, but that has nothing to do with the OP's original question.
