Commencement!

Today our HVAC contractors began installing the furnace and a/c unit!  They should finish with the ductwork tomorrow.

We ended up going with a Carrier Infinity 96% efficient furnace (so tiny - like 1/2 the size of our awesome 50's model)


and Carrier 17 SEER A/C (holy cow that's big!  We're planning to put a deck on the back of the house, so we werent' too concerned with placement at this point - it'll have to be moved eventually). 


We also added a whole-house air cleaner (HEPA) by Aprilaire.  Since the house was not built with A/C, they needed to add a couple of cold air return vents on the 2nd floor, as well as a couple of new supply registers.

My mother in law was wearing gloves in the house today, so I'm glad this is getting done!  Apparently not a moment too soon.
The electricians start next week!

  1. I saw on MM a while back that you had problems with the work your contractors did. I am so sorry to hear that! How are things going now? Did they come back to repair things?
