I'm not sure if I can do anything beyond call a heating company which I imagine has an opinion ab what I order.Eric,    When I get a new to me property i will generally do the work myself, everyone is afraid of it, but its really quite simple if you have experience with advanced home projects, I just applied to be an HVAC Contractor in WI so i can pull the permits and sign the yellow cards,  crazy part is in WI there is no experience or education requirement to be a Heating contractor, Just pay the state for a credential.
