I am sorry you are not feeling well.

Last year I had to replace my A/C and my Furnace and it was abut $11,000.  Both units were original to the home, and my house is about 25 years old.

$8,000 each for two last year.

I had to drop $11K last March for an emergency furnace and A/C install.  I can't complain as the furnace was 28 yrs. old.  Certainly got my money's worth out of it.

If yours needs replacing, better to do it now before hard winter sets in and all the HVAC places are swamped with service calls.  Having to do an emergency replacement is very stressful and not fun, believe me! 

Check for rebates.  I got a $1K rebate from my natural gas supplier in MA.  Good luck!

Yeah, I got my a/c and furnace checked back in April before the Tx heat built up and while he was here he went ahead and checked the furnace.

I stay ahead of the pack. Don't wait till a holiday, week-end

JUly vacations and all that stuff.  I put in 2 new water heaters and a hail guard over my skylight in kitchen.

No flies on this chick.

Well, it's not a cheap fix.  He said the control panel is going out.  So my options are $9,000 for both, middle of the road.  $8,000 for the less expensive.  $12,000 for all the bells and whistles.  I could put $700 into a new control panel but I have to replace the air conditioner this summer anyway.  That compressor is working too hard.  He said furnaces are built to last less than 20 yrs due to all the technology that goes into them now.  Government requirements and such.  So I got my money's worth out of what's in there now for $4300.  It's just like buying a new car.
