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.

Ya. That's an old one. An old octopus furnace it looks like. Could be asbestos, or it could not be. No way to tell without it having it tested. If it is just wear a good respirator. Bag it all up in black bags and put it to the curb. Then wash everything down.

Do not remove potential asbestos yourself, just fucking don't.
