Here are a few quick facts about high-efficiency furnaces that you should know before you settle on a system.
E N D
1 • Most high-efficiency furnaces (over 90% AFUE) are condensing. This means that they can extract additional heat from water vapor that would normally be wasted up your flue. http://www.lovelandhvacrepair.com
HVAC costs make up about half of your utility bill expenses. This means that if you can see savings here, you can see BIG savings overall. 2 http://www.lovelandhvacrepair.com
Some high-efficiency furnaces are nearly 100% efficient. This means that nearly all of the energy that goes into your gas furnace is returned in heating power. 3 http://www.lovelandhvacrepair.com
AFUE (or annual fuel utilization efficiency) is the standard measurement of efficiency of gas furnaces. The higher the AFUE percentage, the more efficient the unit. 4 http://www.lovelandhvacrepair.com
5 • Minimum efficiency standards have been raised dramatically over the past 10 years. That means that the old furnace in your basement could be upwards of 10% less efficient that even standard-efficiency units today. http://www.lovelandhvacrepair.com
6 • Standard furnaces, as part of a split-system, aren’t the only way you can enjoy gas furnace heating power. Gas packs and packaged dual-fuel systems, can also contain all of the components of a high-efficiency gas furnace. http://www.lovelandhvacrepair.com
7 • Natural gas furnaces are often more efficient than other furnaces (like oil and electric). That’s because natural gas tends to be the cheaper utility in most areas. http://www.lovelandhvacrepair.com
