Like most things in life, you get what you pay for in this department. After doing a lot of research I went for a Trane 93% efficient model when we bought our new home last June. (I knew the furnace was shot when we bought the place and wanted to replace it before it got cold)
I HIGHLY recommend that you call and get several estimates(if you have the time).
Sometimes you can get a better deal on a better unit if the contractor doesn't have anything lined up for the next couple of weeks.
I got a great deal on a top of the line unit, soley based on a estimate I got from another contractor that was about $1200 cheaper.
It's like buying a car. I mean really, How many furnaces are you going to buy in your lifetime?
Do your homework and don't rush into the first thing you see that you can afford.
