One of the houses we are considering buying has a 23 year old oil furnace. (Burnham brand). If we decide to purchase this house...

1. Do you think we should replace it ASAP?
2. If yes, what brand would you recommend? (high efficiency?)
3. What is the average cost of replacing a furnace?
4. Any recommendations for good furnace dealers and installers in the area?

We know nothing about oil furnaces and wonder if there are cost effective, energy efficient solutions out there in 2011. (we're not rolling in $$ here so we're looking for the best solution, not most expensive).

Thanks in advance for your knowledgeable replies.
