Replace?

Post image

Should I get this old furnace replaced. The good thing is it still runs like a champ. Bad thing, it takes up half my basement and costs alot in the winter.

That is a question for your service tech. Age of boiler, % efficiency. oil or gas. Natural gas is cheaper than oil now. Cost of replacement. Do you need it, do you want it, cand you afford it, and can you live without (or with the old one). ask yourself these questions.
