If you see one, I'll bet that's why one side of your home is warmer than the other. Try setting it to the middle and see if that improves the heat flow around your home. If there isn't anything like that, you may have a break in your ductwork or maybe they need cleaning.

If you current furnace is working fine, I'd strongly encourage you to just stick with it. Unless it's completely dead in the water, there is almost no value in replacing it.
cool thanks for the info. We did have the duct work cleaned probably close to 2 years ago and it was fairly dirty so wouldn't hurt to have it done again been kind of waiting because of covid. I don't think i have seen any type of lever in the past but i will check. Of course the furance is directly below our bedroom with two heat registers so it comes out insane in our bedroom and pretty good for the whole upper floor. It is quite the distance from the furnace to the registers on the lower floor.. so could be multiple factors causing issues.

Yeah I don't think I will replace it till it craps out but would like to have an idea of what i should go with once it does.
