Gas furnaces
I'm going to the well of wizdom one more time.
Who can tell me what brands of natural gas furnaces are considered high quality and poor quality?
The house that I'm buying has a broken oil furnace. I've been told that an equivalent gas furnace will cost less than the same quality oil furnace. They already have gas line in the house. Because the seller is paying for the new furnace, and I'm trying to be nice, I'm willing to make the switch to gas to make the upgrade less expensive for the seller.
But I definitely don't want to be stuck with a unit that has poor reliability and fuel efficiency. So what is the brand I should be looking at and do they make fuel efficient models?
Thanks a lot!

It's a forced air furnace.
I definitely am requesting the removal of the oil tank as part of the deal.
Oil in our area is somewhat cheaper than gas, but I have an old tank there and to replace it would cost a few hundred dollars which would offset for some years the savings that I would get by staying with oil. Convenience is another plus with gas. Also I'll try to get an efficient unit so I'll save some there.
I heard Carrier is a good manufacturer, but don't know much more. The last installer I dealt with, installed the cheapest units he could find (Petro Oil salesman) and I didn't know any better at the time. He charged me good money, too (good for him, that is). I thought a furnace is a furnace. So anyway, I'll try to get me a good unit this time.

Thank you Ann for the brands. This house has natural gas, not liquid propane; it's easier here in the northeast, everybody lives very close together. Most people here have natural gas.
I don't mind the diesel stink though, smells like fine perfume to me : )
