Residential Heating Furnace Replacement

    Many times, when talking about Furnace Replacement, it is not a good idea to consider it in isolated terms. This is simple to comprehend and natural, and it is not something that only impacts you. You never really know what can occur should you neglect certain details, criteria and other factors. Unnecessary heating costs are just one of the problems of inefficient furnaces. Older furnaces often perform poorly, are inefficient and are noisy.. Sometimes it is smarter to buy a new, energy efficient furnace which will save you more money over time rather than pay for costly repairs.

    Before you purchase a furnace for your home you want to ensure that you know about the main types of furnaces. The Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating of the furnace is important to know before you make a purchase. High efficiency furnaces have an AFUE of 94% or more, compared to a conventional furnace which usually has an AFUE of 60 - 65%. With a conventional furnace for every dollar of gas you use you will waste approximately 35-40% because of inefficient use of energy. With an AFUE of 80% a mid efficiency furnace can save you 20-23% in heating costs compared to a conventional furnace. With a high efficiency furnace you can expect to save 30 - 38% in gas heating costs in comparison to a conventional furnace. A high efficiency furnace is a good investment, although it may initially cost a little bit more you will save money in the long run. High efficiency furnaces improve your home's comfort, are beneficial to the environment and save you money..



    High efficiency and mid efficiency furnaces come in three major types including single stage, two stage and modulating. Single stage furnaces always run at full capacity whether you need it to or not. Since a single stage furnace runs at full capacity only once it is turned on it is not efficient as the two stage furnace. A single stage furnace is not a good option if you want to heat your house to a set temperature and then maintain that temperature. For people who plan on setting the temperature in their home at one setting and maintaining the temperature then a two stage furnace is a good option. Two stage furnaces run in two stages, as the name suggests. In its first stage, the two stage furnace runs at 65% capacity and only kicks into the second stage where it runs at full capacity when needed. Two stage furnaces provide more efficient and comfortable ways to heat your home. When you maintain a constant temperature in your home then not only will you feel comfortable at all times (not too hot or too cold) you will also conserve energy and save money.



    We want to say a fast word about our discussion re Furnace Cost. However, one really important distinction here directly relates to your own goals. Even though it is important to every person concerned, there are important parameters you should keep in mind. It was our primary goal to give you a short introduction to Furnace Replacement, and allow you to see directly what can be accomplished.
