The Heat Is On!

We're cooking with Crisco now! You too can go from 55 to 70 degrees in no time at all for a sum equivalent to some small country's GDP. The tech said there's rust in the heat exchange and asked if I wanted to just go all in on a new furnace since it's original to the home which is 23 years young. Ah, sure. I just spent a small fortune on Christmas, vacation, kenneling my dogs and taxes are right around the corner. Sign me up for a $5k furnace. Not! We're going to gamble and hope we make it through this winter and see what our options are next summer. What happened to global warming anyway?
