Choosing the right furnace for your home is the key to ensuring optimal comfort during the colder winter season. From appropriate sizing and fuel consumption to a high efficiency rating, there are many factors to consider when making your ultimate purchasing decision.
Here are the types of furnaces you can buy.
Electric
Natural gas
Heating oil
Propane
It can be helpful to check out fuel prices in Short Pump so you can determine which fuel type has the lowest operational costs. For example, natural gas tends to be a cheaper fuel for many urban areas. We can help you understand you options.
In these cases, heating oil or propane may be a great alternative. Electric furnaces can be the perfect choice if you don’t want to worry about installing venting for toxic fumes that other fuel-burning furnaces produce. They’re also a safer alternative and the perfect choice for smaller homes with no area for adequate system ventilation.
One of the most important considerations is the size of your new furnace. All furnaces will have a heating capacity rating in British thermal units or BTUs for short. The higher a furnace’s BTU rating, the more heat it can produce. A unit that’s too small for your home can run constantly and not produce enough heat to keep your home comfortable. An oversized unit can lead to higher utility bills and a higher-than-necessary upfront cost. Our technicians will ensure you get the right-sized unit to meet your home’s unique heating demands.
Another factor to consider is the unit’s annual fuel utilization efficiency ratio, or its AFUE for short. The higher the furnace’s rating, the more efficient it is. The more efficient your system’s operation, the more money you can save on your energy bills throughout the winter months. There are both standard and high-efficiency unit options for fuel-burning furnaces.
Standard units operate at between 80 and 89% efficiency. High-efficiency condensing furnaces operate between 90 and 98% efficiency. High-efficiency furnaces do come at a more premium price than their standard-efficiency counterparts, though. However, it’s also important to note that many high-efficiency units can make you eligible to receive a tax incentive from the federal government. You must purchase an ENERGY STAR-certified unit that meets the minimum AFUE rating standards to qualify for this credit.
