I have a love hate relationship with high efficiency furnaces. At my last house, needed to replace internal plumbing for drainage after 5 years. internal fans and a switch.
At new house apartment has higheff and is about 20 years old, and not a single issue, Oil burner in main house, replace transformers every 2 years, replace controller, replace nozzles almost every year. Have that one under contract, luckily. However it is 35 years old and still around 84% efficiency.
So many safety switches on the newer ones and big controller boards, lots of status lights. Most problems easy to fix/troubleshoot. But flow problems are tough.
