Has anyone ever seen or used one of these? I just saw one today at my local stove company. This furnace looks like one heavy duty, beefy furnace. Needless to say, I was very impressed with the build quality of this furnace. Here is a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hmg4u142IM. I'm looking for a replacement for my Englander 28-3500 which was recently replaced with a new one due to cracking on the old one. There is a post on this issue if you want to check it out. Fortunately, England Stove Works sent me a new one which I thought was great of the company to do even though I did all the hauling and paid $98.00 for shipping.
As of right now though, I'm not sure if I want to keep this furnace or sell it and go with a different furnace. I've been checking out the new E.P.A. furnaces for quite some time and am thinking about replacing my new Englander with one of these. I like the glass viewing door on my Englander furnace therefore, I've narrowed my search down to the Energy King 385ek or the PSG Caddy/Max Caddy. The Yukon's/Kuuma's/Blaze King's look like very nice furnaces however, they don't have glass viewing doors on them as far as I know. Also, the Energy King is the only one sold here locally in CT.
I have a 2200+ sq. ft. colonial style home (2 story plus basement) recently built in 2006 in which the furnace would be located in the basement connected parallel to my current Hydro-Air heating/cooling system just as my Englander was. For what it's worth, my Englander never had any problem heating my home to temps between 70-80 degrees in the middle of winter. The only reason that I am contemplating selling the new, replacement Englander furnace is because of the cracking issues that occurred on my previous one.
Any help recommending a new furnace would be greatly appreciated. I know that you guys on this forum are very knowledgeable and helpful so I look forward to your thoughts regarding this matter. As of right now, I am leaning toward the Energy King furnace since they sell this furnace locally. Unfortunately, there are no PSG dealers near me so I can't even check one out in person. Franks, I know that you deal/sell the PSG Caddy's in NY so any help/advise from you would be great. I read these forums just about every day and am confident that you guys can help me out with this decision. Thanks!
