Looks like I may need to replace my furnace.  Anyone have an experience with this or know what I'm in for?

Jdurg:
For parts and labor, I'd guess around $4000 or so, and that may be on the low end.  My parents had it done a few years ago and it cost them close to five thousand.

I had my furnace replaced in Feb. '07. They installed a new furnace (Trane), humidifier, new digital thermostat and cleaned all of my ductwork for $1800, including labor. My house is about 1800 square feet.

Blanka:
Do you US citizens get any of our European options there?
- 105% effictive hot water furnaces, with low-water-capacity radiators and CO2 regulated air-intake? (Hot air systems are so 80-ties and bad for the air-quality)
- compact warmth/electricity furnaces, that generate both heat and electricity
- 85% effective warmth conversion units between the intake of fresh air and exhaust of waste air

If I see a scheme of a "furnace" in google image search, it feels that you can save more than 50% on your gas bill in the US with simple measures.
Also have a look at things like Kingspan Cooltherm insulation. It has an incredible RC of 4 combined with 2,5 inch thickness.

What type of furnace is that?  Straight furnace or boiler too?  My furnace is pretty much end of life and I'm about to start getting quotes for a new one.  Straight furnace, hot water is external, forced hot air.
