We offer FREE on-site estimates to install your new natural gas high-efficiency furnace. Upgrading your heating system to a high-efficiency furnace will increase your comfort and reduce your energy bills by up to 37%. The efficiency of a furnace is measured by the Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE), commonly expressed in percentages. Furnaces are categorized by how they operate and distribute heat throughout your home. Your furnace may be categorized as follows:
| Furnace Type | Temperature Stabilization | Energy Efficiency |
| Single Stage Furnace | Poor | 80% AFUE |
| Two-Stage or Dual-Stage Furnace | Good | 96% AFUE |
| Modulating or Variable Furnace | Excellent | 98.2% AFUE |
Single Stage Furnace
A single-stage furnace has a gas flame that is either ON or OFF. The furnace waits until the temperature in the house gets cold to send a powerful flow of warm air to heat up the house. Once the temperature reaches the desired level, the thermostat shuts the system down and restarts the cycle. Single-stage furnaces are the least energy-efficient systems but are the lowest cost to purchase.
Two-Stage or Dual-Stage Furnace
This type of furnace keeps the flame “on/high”, “on/low”, or “off”. By adding this second flame, the system makes a dramatic difference in energy costs. Dual-stage furnaces are quieter and slightly higher in cost but provide better energy efficiency and comfort.
Modulating or Variable Furnace
This is the most comfortable gas furnace you can buy. A modulating furnace will prevent the temperature fluctuations typical of single- and dual-stage furnaces that leave some rooms with cold spots where the heat doesn’t last between furnace cycles or hot spots where heat builds up. You will also avoid the periods of cold before the furnace kicks back on. A modulating furnace automatically makes slight continual adjustments, offering you consistent, comfortable temperatures throughout your home. It operates more quietly and efficiently than other kinds of gas furnaces, with the highest energy efficiency at 98% AFUE.
Preventative Measures and Maintenance
Regular maintenance can prevent many common furnace issues and extend the lifespan of your system. Here are some tips to keep your furnace running smoothly:
- Annual Inspections: Schedule yearly professional inspections to identify and address potential problems before they escalate.
- Change Air Filters: Replace or clean air filters regularly to ensure proper airflow and efficiency.
- Clean Ductwork: Have your ductwork cleaned periodically to remove dust and debris that can impede airflow.
- Check Thermostat Settings: Ensure your thermostat is set correctly and functioning properly.
