I was in the market for a new Hot Water Tank and wanted to do a new furnace at the same time to get both on the new side wall venting requirements.

I ran my original quote by Everlast and he steered me to Chestermere Heating and Cooling. Cody Fagnan (yes, son of that Fagnan) was great to deal with. Answered a ton of questions over detailed emails. Pricing was excellent - my Carrier was the the price as what I was being quoted for a Goodman furnace - and I'll take the Carrier any day.

I ended up going with a 2 stage - it's the best balance of pros and cons costing and performance. Carrier modulating furnaces work best if paired with their own thermostat, and I wanted to go with an Ecobee/Nest. Max air flow was a focus of their work (i.e. a new 5" filter rack was part of the deal). Not sure if it's that, the new furnace, or the Ecobee's multi room sensor approach but I can honestly say the house is noticeably warmer than my old setup.
