The furnace installation crew arrived more or less on schedule. The new furnace was delayed a few hours (though they spent about that much time disconnecting/disassembing/removing the old one anyway). All seems to be in order so far.

The new unit comes with an even more complicated thermostat. Theoretically, it could also control the humidifier, but the wiring bundle didn't have enough lines to support that function; so we'll have to make the arduous trek down the hallway and open the utility closet door all three or four times a year when it needs to be significantly adjusted.

It took a bit longer than expected, and <lj user=starmalachite> wasn't up to going out tonight, so we skipped our usual Three Left Feet meeting.
