The more efficient a furnace, obviously, the lower the heating bill will be. But how do you calculate the efficiency of a furnace? The simplest way is to determine the amount of gas it burns and the electricity it consumes to run its blowers and controls.
When buying a furnace, consider the AFUE (annual fuel utilization efficiency) rating which is denoted by a percentage figure. This rating measures the efficiency with which a furnace converts gas into heating energy. The higher that percentage, the more efficient the furnace, and the lower the environmental impact of its emissions.
While it is true that efficient furnaces are also rather expensive, there is no need to be deterred by higher costs. While you may have to pay nominally more on an efficient furnace, you can recoup that cost in lower fuel bills over the lifetime of the furnace. However, how soon you recover your money will vary depending on a number of factors, like the difference in AFUE ratings between the two efficient furnace units, the climate of your locale, how well your home retains heat, and the rates you are charged for gas and electricity.
At Appleby Systems, we provide a variety of efficient furnaces so that you can choose one that is most efficient, without being restricted by lack of choice. We can help you calculate the annual estimated operating cost of each model you're considering. We can even come to your place to inspect it and tell you which efficient furnace would be the best choice for you.
