What changes the number in Oregon

The formula
Cost = base unit cost x efficiency multiplier + venting + removal + permit
High-efficiency condensing furnaces (90%+ AFUE) need new PVC venting and a condensate drain, which is why the jump from 80% to 96% AFUE costs more than the equipment difference alone.
