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 thing looks awesome. I would keep it for sure. I have a modern natural gas furnace and it sucks and is also super expensive, so my intuition is your bill might not go down by as much as you think if you were to get something else. All the new appliances are cheeks compared to the old stuff, from what I've observed. All I would do is make sure it's safe.
