Thanks for posting some sort of cost.

My propane furnace was installed over 25 years ago. Broke only one time. Thermocoupler. Not expensive.
I paid $1,800 for furnace, duct work, installation.
This is the type that has a pilot. Very simple technology. No circuit boards.
It just keeps going and going.
I had it professionally cleaned this past summer. Actually took circular fan out and cleaned all. Not required but had thermocoupler replaced.

So I pay a little more as not as efficent as others.
I have peace of mind that it will work and that if it does break everyone has the parts as there are only a few parts. Sometimes simple is better then complex.

Can't get pilot furnaces anymore.
