High Efficiency Oil Fired Warm Air

in THE MAIN WALL
I have a brother in Pennsylvania who wants to buy a new furnace, so, he calls me.  I'm in CT, can't help him.

He's looking for a warm air furnace that is oil fired and has an afue of 90% or over, is there even such a creature available.  If so, what is the most dependable brand that has the easiest obtainable parts.  He lives in some town called Lily, sounds far from anything, so reliablity is major.  Thank you all for your input.

    How about those gas furnaces?

    Okay, I can tell by the tons of replies I've gotten that I am correct in what I told my brother, there are no 90% efficient oil fired furnaces.

    any recommendations on LP models or is he better off just putting in a nice Thermo Pride

    wow.

    What's the story on those, Chris?

    It's been 16 years, but I still remember more than one Yukon jobbie in these parts. Didn't end well.

    Contractor?

    Does anyone know of any reputable contractors that service out in Lily PA that could give him a fair and honest estimate?  From everything he's told me, it's hard to find a decent heating contractor in that area.

    How about.....

    a boiler with hot water coil in an air handler.  Then he could add an indirect maybe some radiant, etc.  and eventually solar, geo, etc and have it all on one system.

    so what is the best oil fired furnace?

    Looking at Carrier, Thermo Pride, Regal. Also Adams but sounds like that probably isn't a good idea.

    I need two zones. Would like to have variable speed. Can you have two zones and variable speed?

    Thermopride is my choice.

    Thermopride is my choice hands down. We put them through a pretty good test up here. They outlast every other brand. Great company to deal with if there ever is a problem.
