Black Friday sales!

[Shane@DBPerformance]

Is electricity expensive in Texas? I have seen the energy savings claims, but electricity is so cheap in MN compared to Cali or some states on the east coast that I think it would take me 30 years to make the money back. $900 for a pair isn't bad at all though compared to those ones that are $1000 each. I need a black friday sale on a furnace.

Price per kw is right around 9-cents here right now, what are you paying? I wish I saved my work from when I figured out how long it would take to cover the difference but it was quick enough to make it worth it in my mind.

The last furnace we installed was a high efficiency unit we got for $350 off craigslist. It was a few years old from a new consrtuction home and we installed it ourselves. I would look for a slightly used unit and save some money. If you won't be going high efficiency, you might as well just buy new.
