Hot-ness!

We would like to thank Bergman heating and air for the new "Hot-ness" in our house! On December 30, we had a regular check up on our heating, and our furnace was shut down as not safe. February 18, we are finally back up and running hot air! We have had multiple repair/replace estimates. We'll give some detail, although it is HIGHLY unlikely anyone out there will have our same problem.

• Our house was built in 1972.
• The original (current) heating was a high velocity system, with 2 inch ducts.
• 2 inch ducts are used commonly back east, where boilers are common sources of heat, and excessive humidity is a problem
• Utah has neither common boilers, nor any humidity to speak of, so: Our heating system is very uncommon in Utah
• High velocity systems require a boiler
• Our system was installed without a boiler. A regular furnace was tipped sideways and had an extra blower motor installed. It was very non-standard.
• No repair company wanted to deal with the crazy configuration as current
• We got quotes upwards of $13,000 to either revamp or install a boiler
• Our best solution was presented by Bergman, although it involved ordering a custom furnace (therefore delaying another 3 to 4 weeks)

This is what the 2 inch ducts look like:
