Furnace/AC repair and replacement

[yosemite]

I have a very noisy 12 year old Evcon furnace, has alwaways been noisier than I thought was normal, but other than 3 igniters, has required little maintenance, also have been thinking central air, but I am in Agate, and very nearly a broke as everyone else

Still young and ready to work!!

Anyone have some problems with their equipment let me know.

I also specialize in commercial refrigeration, so if anyone owns a restaurant or other food service company I can help you out as well.

I'm on the plains in Boulder County. I have to replace my furnace (home built in 89; original furnace, Lennox G16 Conservator III), and have been scolding myself for pushing things.

I'm pretty busy through Monday, but this is a placeholder to remind me to talk with you. I'd like to increase energy efficiency (I believe I'm at 80% now with the current furnace) but can't spend a stupid amount of money chasing a couple percentage points in efficiency.

Do you have any experience with the tankless water heaters like the Rinnai? I've been thinking about getting rid of the hot water tank and it wouldn't hurt having someone give me some ideas on what my options are.

I actually went to a Rinnai condensing boiler class. I would have to see what type of options there are for domestic hot water.

In my limited experience with tankless heaters I have seen them to be very expensive. We're talking thousands of $$$ installed compared to $750 for a tank water heater installed. The cost gets very large if you go up to a 90% efficiency. You start getting into different venting requirements with those.

The tankless is good if you use alot of hot water for instance a large family or a commercial application.

The rinnai condensing boilers are very high maintenance also. Unless you are using a lot of hot water and/or have some money to spend, I would recommend a standard tank water heater. There are also high recovery tank water heaters that are better on the pocket book when compared to the tankless.

I could shop around for some tankless options and see just how much they cost.

Anyone have this guy's #? I PM'd him but am afraid he may not get the message for a while. If you have it please PM me. Hoping to hear back from him ASAP so I can either get this taken care of or look elsewhere. Thanks!
