Furnace is in!

As of August 21st, the gas furnaces are in and will keep the cold out and heat in! I had a 2 ton and a 4 ton installed. One will run the downstairs dining, kitchen, bathroom, laundry and loft (thermostat in the dining room); the other will run the living room, bedroom, sunporch and upstairs (thermostat in the sunporch). For the most part all the duct work was hidden in closets though there was no way to get to the living room or downstairs bedroom except exposing the duct work which is in the process of being covered up in the foyer. Other than that, it went along with no hitches and I was pleased when they finished a day early so I could clean up all the dust created.
While I was there, the termite inspection was done and nothing was found and he even commented on how dry it was under the house due to the newly installed ventilation screens that open and close depending on the outside temps.

I am in the process too of having the individual gas furnaces removed. If anyone wants one, please let me know soon otherwise they will be donated! Also, hopefully before winter a more energy efficient back door (one the mice can't climb through)and window will be installed in the laundry room that will further assist in keeping that end of the house warm during winter.
