A primary heat exchanger handles the ignition of the furnace and the natural gas fire (propane, kerosene, heating oil or what ever the furnace burns) of the furnace burners. Your best bet would be to just call out an ACCA member company to perform the estimate, because an ACCA member company will operate professionally, follow higher HVAC standards and receives accredited support in training, up to date trade information and will be up to date with new techniques and standards in the HVAC field. 90% AFUE furnaces have a 2 heat exchanger design to avoid wasting heat, in the past the product was problematic when it was first developed in the 90's, but has since been improved to near perfection today by most manufacturers to be a very reliable product and if sized properly and installed properly will save an incredible amount of money on the utility bill that you can capitalize on year in and year out. Furthermore, Rheem realized that the primary heat exchanger was the most expensive part of the furnace, so they decided to make a primary heat exchanger tougher than any other manufacturers primary heat exchanger. Carrier, Trane, American Standard and Lennox furnaces will work and if sized and installed properly will last for many years, however when they break, you will surly pay a pretty penny to get them fixed. The venting of a 90% AFUE furnace is typically done with PVC piping material and most often is vented to the exterior side of a home. A conventional furnace is missing these features, because the conventional furnace can only fire in one stage and just wastes flue gas moisture out of the flue pipe. That all came to an end when Rheem manufacturing designed their new line of 95% AFUE 2 stage furnaces. One legitimate complaint and or criticism that was true in the past, that these contractors would make, is that parts were more expensive on a 90% AFUE furnace and why on earth would you want an expensive repair bill they would ask. The two stage gas valve emerged to where a low fire predominately occurs on temperate (less cold) winter days saving an additional 25-35% on gas consumption and then when the weather gets real cold outside the furnace can engage a high fire to ensure that the appliance can keep up with heating your home only when high fire is truly needed, to ensure that the homeowner gets the best of both worlds; saving money and staying comfortable.
