I think it's on its last legs. I like the older furnaces as they are easy to maintain but there is some corrosion starting to form and I think my hand will be forced.
I've been told to stay away from high efficiency and instead look for mid? Pretty sure any new furnace also requires its own air supply directly from outside so I'm worried about cost/disruption/modification to the basement.
Has anyone had to deal with this? How did it go? What were costs like?

in the short term... is it the gas control valve or the thermacouple for the gas control valve? thermocouple might be burnt out.
They are fairly easy to replace
