The new furnace...

[mapsedge]

... is in. -Ish. As in, so much shorter than the old furnace that it can't be connected to the existing ductwork, BUT there it sits, connected to everything else so that the basement is now 110 degrees while the temperature upstairs slowly drops and it begins to snow in the living room.

Okay, I'm exagerrating to make it interesting. Still, it's cool upstairs and really warm downstairs. The upstairs will get the benefit of radiant heat from the warm basement and we have space heaters, so it's no biggie. We'll stay home.

The old unit was five foot somethin-r-other...the new unit is...four feet tall, maybe? Likin' so far...

The visual is tickling my funny bone.

It's strangely quiet down here, too. The new furnace has no pilot light. I'm accustomed to hearing the constant hhhhhhhhhh of a pilot light. Add to that it's a dual stage furnace, meaning the first half of the cycle is half-burn - if it even needs to get to full-burn - so from upstairs we'll rarely hear it.

Hafta put on music just to fill the aural space!

Oh, darn, music...
