AlphaDog, it's not busted, just leaking all the water instead of draining it. I've decided to keep running the AC (it's 90 and muggy outside --- this is Atlanta) and swap out a series of towels surrounding it every couple hours.
Having water dripping down into the furnace does it no good, but we've decided to replace it at the same time in a few days. It's old and we'll get something more efficient anyway.
BL --- Tuesday morning their rep will come out and I'll also have at least one other company come out. Not worried about the potentially "wildly fluctuating price" of furnaces, should they be presented in that manner.
Grateful11 --- dude said they plan on installing one with a PVC pan so that it'll not rust. I asked him what the drawback there is, compared to the original galvanized metal unit that's all crappy with rust. He didn't say there was a drawback, I suppose you just named it perhaps. So I'll ask around. Another drawback may be that while it never rusts, rust or corrosion from the coil as it ages may then clog the drain. This one never had a chance to clog the drain, it just rusted through instead.
