Furnaces
When people think of furnaces, they often think of big, noisy contraptions that cost a lot of money to run and maintain. The truth is that today’s new high-efficiency furnaces can save a homeowner more than 50 percent in operating costs over a ten-year-old furnace. Many 1990 and earlier model furnaces have Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) ratings of 65% or less. Compare that to today, when the minimum AFUE for any furnace sold in the United States is 80 percent (many top-line models even go up to nearly 98 percent). Today’s furnaces are not like your grandfather’s furnace. They’re energy-efficient, cost-effective and, with the proper maintenance, can have a very long life span.
What types of furnaces are available?
There are several different types of furnaces available today, but two of the most popular are:
- Central warm-air furnace
- Option 2
Central warm-air furnaces are gas, fuel oil or electricity to heat a home. The furnace is typically housed in a central location within the house and disburses warm air through a series of ducts. These types of furnaces are typicaly forced air (which, as the name suggests, forces air through the ducts).

What are the benefits of having a furnace?
- Higher AFUE rated furnaces can significantly reduce homeowners’ gas bills
- Many furnaces boast variable and multi-speed features that can provide enhanced indoor comfort by slowly ramping-up to a desired thermostat setting rather than turning on at full speed. This dramatically reduces system noise and dissipates the amount of cold air sitting below warm air – a problem typically associated with single-speed furnaces.
