"Old and reliable hi eff furnace"
Bought this high efficiency furnace(Megasave1) in 1982 and 30 years later, this unit still purrs like new. Stainless steel heat exchanger still in great shape. Repair history....replaced rusted vent fan once. Unit is simple with 2 heat exchangers and...no electronic boards to repair. Just simple limit switches for safety. My flue gas exhaust temperature is 90f while my warm air temperature is 130f and that spells savings. My officemate bought the same unit then and had the same satisfying experience with this product. Why can't they make a product like this anymore?

"Simple machines are more reliable than complex ones."
Never had problems, yes a little noisy, never stopped working, reliable. I would buy Clare Brothers again.

Review:
"20 Warranty on heat exchanger,"
I would like to know who covers the warranty on this furnace. I am told this company is no longer in business. The heat exchanger is cracked, I was without heat or use of the furnace since December 2010. Winter will be coming and I need this replaced. I purchased the furnace in 1997, when my new house was built. I purchased unit because of the warranty. Do I need to worry about replacing the whole furnace?

"Great Furnace"
This furnace is maintenance free! Unlike the newer furnaces which I had in my other houses. Don't be fooled thinking the newer furnaces will save you money, replacing this one for a newer one won't save you money unless you live in the house for 75 years.

"Combustion Chamber"
We have been advised that the combustion chamber in our furnace has cracked and needs to be replaced. To get the model number we have to drive about 130 miles to our cottage. Is there a chance that we can get a new combustion chamber if we provide model number? This has to be done soon, as the cottage will be snowed in.

"does the fact that the furncae is 26 years old matter?"
WE bought this house 5 years a go & we never had any problems with our clare furnace at all is suppose to be as old as the house 26 years old from 1984 all I did was replace the filter & fan belt which helps with the loudness of the fan but that don t bother us the only question I have is can the heat exchanger be check to make sure is in good condition if anyone knows I appreciate the feedback because is the only concern I have besides that I am very pleased with this furnace people from several companies comming to the door offering financing or selling all different types of furnaces high efficiency but for $3000 & up I don t want to spend the money if what I have still works well & after reading some of the night mares some people went through with some of the newer models....

"Excellent Furnace"
The best. I was going to replace it but a HVAV man told me not to do that. If it is working ok save your money. The new ones are NOT as reliable. This furnace is as old as the house (1977). I love my Clare Hecla furnace, an oldy but a goody.

"propane clare furnace"
The furnace is ok, but I can't find the parts to repair it when I have problems. Could you tell me where I could find parts? I live close to Montreal. It would be better if I could find a contractor to repair it when it fails. Thank you! The furnace model is hem1-80-8d.

Review:
"great unit"
20 years of virtually trouble free use, had ignitor replaced once about 10 years ago and had a relay switch go bad. It has been very reliable, slightly noisy but would recommend this product. I was told once they went bankrupt and closed and parts were scarce, but now I see them listed. I will be checking because I'm thinking of replacement to upgrade heating unit and air-conditoning.
