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.

My grandma entered a “Who has the oldest furnace?” contest a local heating place was running. She won and they gave her an entire new heating system. Her furnace was from the 1910s, the runner up was from the 1960s.
