Going to get a second opinion, but would like to hear feed-back from the Forum on possible replacement options.

Current furnace is a Trane X90 is only 17 yrs old, BTU output 60,000.
This is way under-powered for the size home I have (two stories-2800SF)

Thanks for you feedback, much appreciated !
If it's a hot air furnace and it has cracks in the heat exchanger then you could get dangerous levels of carbon monoxide in your home, not something to put off for very long. Make sure your detectors are working!
