I appreciate that and the other responses you got from Neeka and Smithee because it gives me confidence that the choice we made was sound. We went with an 80% system because it was simpler. It uses the existing metal vent. The out of pocket cost was actually greater than the 95% system because we don't get $1500 Obama dollars and our rebate from the gas company is only $100. It doesn't have water condensate to get rid of, and doesn't require any new venting (which would be problematic since the basement is finished). The 96% system would have required so dicey cutting and possible problems that we won't have. Also, we got a 5 year labor warranty instead of a one year. The system we bought has the variable speed motor and a new thermostat that gives feedback information. Our options were limited to two: one 95% and one 80%, each from a different manufacturer, because of the space limitations. I am sort of proud to have gotten out of Obama dollars for both the car and the furnace that failed this year. I'd have been a fool to turn them down if there hadn't been a downside to it, but I'm glad to be free of the guilt.
