Unhappy

Alright guys I actually have a question I an ask in here. My central air died over the weekend. It wasnt all that great even when it did work but I am fairly sure its died its final death now. I own an old colonial 2 story with 1500 sqr feet. The system is set up right now to push into the furnace fan which blows it through the house. I actually need a new furnace really soon too. What kind of options do I have? I am sorta clueless. Can you get some kind of combo unit. What kind of system should I be looking at for the AC? Brand?

Thanks,

Josh

You did not metion which type of fuel you are using. If it is a gas furnace you should consider a add-on heat pump. The heat pump heats your home at temps above 32 degrees and then your regular furnace takes over. Also I believe your electric supplier is FirstEnergy, they have special electric rates for heat pumps. Get a quality name brand furnace and HP such as Carrier or Trane, you cant go wrong.
