Get some opinions on this one. My house is old (built around 1930), so it doesn't retain heat very well (need to gut and redo the insulation and replace windows). However, our furnace is a really old Lennox Pulse. This thing is I believe older then I am (I am 30). It struggles to keep the house warm once the temperature dips into the teens.
Should I just suck it up and shell out the 7ish grand to get a brand new one installed? Or my other thought was buy a forced air pellet stove to use for in tangent with the furnace to help relieve the stress of it constantly running to keep up. A pellet stove is half the cost of a new furnace, and in the event the furnace were to just flat out die, should be able to heat the house by itself.
Give me some of that wisdom you folks have lol
