I smell shenanigans, given Bob's statement about the company and the tech in the earlier post. It sounds like the new HVAC guy may have a new regular customer after this.
20 thousand for a furnance? Jesus Christ, what does it burn, Unicorns?
That's an utterly insane figure for a central heating system. I worked with solar gear that'd normally be installed alongside existing heating systems and sometimes a customer'd be replacing their boiler at the same time and we'd see what people are paying for a new boiler and it'd be on the order of 5-6k at most, after all the myriad of taxes and the like. Of course, that's for an all hot-water system, and not the hot air that's popular in the States. But it's still a massive jump.
