Currently '91 Pulse, 55k output, in Toronto. House is a 1930s 2-storey semi, 1,200 sf. envelope on the loose side. Been here 25+, staying put.
The Pulse does the job and more(though kinda brutal). But want something lined up if sudden death.
My guy proposed a 70k Armstrong(41k 1st/62k 2nd), const. torque. This based on pics/info, hard to get site visits these days.
Next Armstrong down is only 45k(28/42). Lennox/Lennox also jumps from 45 to 70k. Tempted to go 45k, but torn it may be too little. I'm of the reliability-first-comfort-distant-third school.
Philosophically - what does one want? Furnace running 90%+ of the time on 1st or more balanced, like 75+25 1st vs 2nd.
Would appreciate your experienced POV.
Might go with 60k Trane (38/57), though my guy seems to be pushing Armstrong. Also, a big outfit here is using the Armstrongs for rentals. Is that an endorsement?
TIA
