This is related to music only in that I won't be play write until I get this taken care of--

Anyway--our heater/ac is electric, and about 17 years old--it doesn't do what it is supposed to, and the repair people tell me it will cost a lot to fix, and probably won't stay fixed--they seem to all have new furnaces they want to sell me, but none of them give me any choice of brands or models--I am suspicious, as I have lived in houses with much older furnaces that still worked fine, but I have yet to find anyone who will tell me anything other than it really ought to be replaced--

Any input will be appreciated--
