Wow. That seems like that's pretty high, but also I live in a shithole city. Plus I "know s guy".
Going to have my central and furnace swapped out. Mine are 25+ years old. |

That sounds steep to me, we replaced just the AC seven years ago. The Trane furnace is 25 years old but why replace it when it still runs like a champ.
See about just replacing the furnace only so you won’t take such a big hit in the pocket book. Did you have other places give you a bid on their products? |

A lot steep if you live in a rural or low cost area
A little steep if you live in mid America Cheap if you live in a major city like New York or California |

Check out the Pioneer heat pumps instead. Straight drop in for your existing HVAC, and will provide heat down to -15F, and very efficient. https://a.co/d/jjv2WaU The above is more than you need, but they make 3 ton units. |

Also, heat exchangers are cheap and easy to replace yourself.

We had ours replaced in Jan of 2023 and got quotes from several outfits. Our highest was around that $16k mark, but we ended up getting it done for $9k...pretty much the same specs as you mentioned.

On this same topic, I want to get a mini split in my garage. Nearly 5k installed are the quotes. That is like 3k labor for what amounts to a half day work.
