If you are going to cut into a wall, you could install a vented unit with a fan. But that would be roughly equivalent to the "furnace" that you already have.
I think you are putting WAY too much stock in those people who complain about the lack of efficiency with their stock furnace......and a perceived ability to fix the problem.
