And then also, is this unit we are getting by "Trane" any good? I know nothing at all about this crap, other than this is an expensive job for this money pit.

I think this is it anyway as the quote was for 1 new TRANE 80,000 btu furnace...

I'm sure there's nothing wrong with Trane but the problem with 1 unit for two floors is trying to pump the hot air to the second floor and if the duct work is properly sized to handle it. Before we redid our upstairs the ductwork was useless for actually doing anything on the second floor but there were other issues. The solution for us anyway was two different units because we had everything open. A larger unit might help you but if there's also no way for the return air to get back to the furnace that would also block its efficiency and ventilation.

Good luck.
