Subject:      Re: Suburban Type Furnace Install;

In case anyone misunderstood my intent of the previous post, it was NOT made to in any way to discredit or belittle John's installation -- actually quite nice given the amount of space used. I am merely stating valid comparisons based on personally examining both types heaters and the manufacturers efficiency ratings. If it came across differently then I apologize for doing so.

I also didn't mean that the Propex could pay for itself in fuel savings, but in the bigger picture of pollutants. Very small difference in the overall picture, if one looks at it that way. If that makes me an 'environmental wacko', Robert K, then so be it. Someone has to be. :-)
