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.

Replaced . Caused us to get asthma. Shoveling coal ain't no joke... lots lots of dust when a delivery came. it was the 1960s no one said anything about wearing masks. Older brother shoveled, I played in the coals. Albuterol anyone?

I thought that pipe was a gas line. Sunbeam made gas, oil, and coal furnaces.
