Consider your furnace replacement options
There are two main efficiency categories you can choose from for your new furnace:
- High efficiency: These furnaces are rated at 90% AFUE or higher. They use closed combustion and are likely much more efficient than what you’re replacing.
- Standard efficiency: Rated at 80% AFUE, these furnaces use conventional open combustion. They’re probably similar to what you’re replacing, although they might be more efficient if your existing furnace is very old.
Other efficiency and comfort considerations include the stages of heat your furnace offers:
- Single stage: This type of furnace runs at full capacity every time it turns on or off. It runs when your home needs heat and otherwise sits idle.
- Two stage: These furnaces run at a low speed most of the time and switch to a high speed when it’s very cold outside or you have more demanding heating needs. They’re more efficient than single stage units.
- Modulating: The most efficient of the three types, these furnaces ramp up and down to match your home’s precise heating needs at any given time.
