Choosing a New Furnace
|
When it's time to replace your old, inefficient furnace there are a few important things to consider.
1. Furnace Size Choosing the right size furnace for your home is critical to ensuring your family's comfort and the efficient operation of your heating system. If the furnace is too small, it will run more often and use more energy to heat the same space that a larger furnace will. 2. Efficiency The EnergyStar rating system is designed to help consumers make smart choices about how much energy a furnace will use during the heating season. While more efficient systems typically cost more initially, they will often pay for themselves in just a few years by using less energy to heat your home 3. Noise Todays furnace's are quieter than ever thanks to advanced engineering and features like two-stage and modulating fans, which allow the unit to distribute heat at a lower fan speeds when less heat is required. 4. Reliability Being without heat during a cold New England winter is a real hassle. By choosing a furnace with a good record of reliability you will reduce the odds of a furnace breakdown and ensure your investment will provide reliable heat for years to come.

How new furnace technologies are saving energy and improving comfort
A furnace works by heating air inside the chamber then distributing warm air throughout the house to the air duct system. Cooler air is then returned to the furnace to complete the cycle. TWO-STAGE FURNACES Traditionally, gas furnaces simply turned on and off running a single fan speed to distribute heat. Later, as technology improved, two-stage furnaces were developed to allow the furnace to operate at high speed when demand was greatest, and lower speeds when less heat was required. This improved comfort and in saved energy. THREE-STAGE AND FULLY MODULATING GAS FURNACE TECHNOLOGY Today, furnaces can deliver heat with an additional third fan stage or even fully variable speed, providing greater comfort and improved efficiency. Instead of stop-and-go heating of yesterday, today's furnaces are able to finesse the exact amount heat needed to keep your home at the perfect temperature while operating quieter and using the lowest amount of fuel.
