for what it's worth. Here's the cost from my wholesale distributor

Goodman 92% AFUE Upflow/Horizontal Gas Furnaces GR9S92 Series, Single-Stage, Multi-Speed​

AFUE: 92.0%; Configuration: Upflow/Horizontal; BtuH Input: 80,000; BtuH Output: 73,680;

1,704.58 plus tax

80% WOULD BE $918.00

@ultrarunner Thanks for the Grainger pricing; sadly, I don't qualify for their discounted pricing. For me they are my most expensive supplier.

All the best, Peter

Their National account contracted pricing combined with service is hard to beat…

1 pm I had a steam boiler down and the part needed was no where to be found locally… The boiler companies here couldn’t help… all said several days.

I called Grainger and said I need this part and I need it now… a little after 1 pm California time and part located in Illinois… I had it in my hand before 7 am in California…

The GE lighting program I have never been able to beat… many over the years have tried and Grainger always trumps… plus free freight with many orders delivered the next day.

I bought Dayton furnaces from Grainger and even my friend in the business said he can’t buy for that but then said he doesn’t know anything about house brands…

When I was shopping for industrial compressors and dryer I gave Grainger my budget and requirements… they met my numbers which frankly surprised me…

Some things like tools they are always high… so you always need to shop…

I'm needing to replace a 70K BTU home furnace. Natural gas. The old one is a single speed type, but it is getting close to 20 years old. No need for AC in Colorado foothills.

I see various types of gas furnaces - single speed, dual speed, variable speed and also the modulated (variable) flame type.

Not too worried about price, and frankly natural gas is cheap. I'm leaning toward wanting it to run quiet and last reasonably well. Most of the modern ones seem pretty efficient at 90% AFUE or better.
But I don't know anything about what brands are out there.

Any recommendations?

Do you have access to firewood? I got multi fuel furnace: wood and gas.
Use mostly wood but gas is good sometimes. Works fine for 20+ years, saves lots of $$$
