I suspect you have the same ducting issues as most. Ducts crammed in place and possibly short a recommended run for the furnace itself. Also, 2” walls are not able to be super insulated for truly cold weather operation. All that material needs brought up to temp. Beyond this, run fireplace with furnace to augment temperature. Window area allows lots of cold conduction as well.

What brand was the old unit? In some respects, I wish I had my old 5er. The lack of manuals with alliance units drives me nuts. Still going through the nuances of the valor and alliance’s thinking/engineering.
