Yes, I’m the same one who just had their Dishwasher fail. When it rains it pours! The heat pump was a good ol 1987 Trane, finally shorted out the motor and cannot be replaced. It used R12 anyway so it would have eventually been kaput. The furnace is a 1990 so we are just replacing it all at once.
I am wondering for those of you in cold northern climates what you recommend for full furnace and heat pump replacement brands. Some of the ones around here are:
Lennox
Carrier
Bosch
Amana
Now I’ve heard real bad things about Lennox, so I think I’ll avoid that. I think Bosch is generally really good, and Carrier is decent. This is all just hearsay.
I appreciate your guys’ help so much!!

I appreciate it!
Yes, there are a Good number of reputable folks around so I have options.
Yeah, im used to the heat pumps not blowing “hot”, i read its normal.
Right now we are looking at these models, for about 17k:
Multi 37MUHA Heat Pump 3 Ton + Carrier Performance 59TP7A Furnace 80,000 BTU
It seems like a good price and they have a 10 year warranty on the heat pump, 20 year on the furnace heat exchanger. They do sell a full Bosch setup too but the guy said while their heat pump is fantastic the furnaces have had a couple of issues.
