Maintaining Your Furnace Will Enhance Performance

The reasons for replacing your furnace are numerous. Old furnaces can be costly because they often perform poorly and lose heat and energy. Older furnaces are often noisy because they don’t perform properly. When the parts in a furnace are faulty it can cause the furnace to break down. Sometimes it makes more sense to replace the furnace completely because repairs can be so costly. When you are shopping for a new furnace a major factor to consider is energy efficiency. Not only will you waste money using an inefficient furniture it also a waste of energy which is bad for the environment. Investing in a new, energy efficient furnace is a good economical choice because it will save you money down the road. You should purchase a high efficiency furnace with an AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) of 94% or more in order to maximize your savings and lower heating expenses..

Since there are so many furnace options finding the right furnace can be tough. Furnaces are large expenses for your home and it is important that they function properly. If you are shopping for a new furnace consider the AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) of the furnace. High efficiency furnaces have the best AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) ratings of all furnaces, with an AFUE of 94% or more whereas a conventional furnace’s AFUE rating will be between 60 – 65%. If you have a conventional furnace you are wasting approximately 35 – 40% of energy for every dollar you spend due to inefficiency. A mid efficiency furnace is in between a conventional furnace and a high efficiency furnace. In comparison to a conventional furnace a mid efficiency furnace saves 20-23% in heating costs due to its AFUE rating of 80%. With a high efficiency furnace you can expect to save about 30 – 38% in your heating costs when compared to a conventional furnace. Contribute to the environment while saving money by switching to a high efficiency furnace. A high efficiency furnace is a great purchase for your home.

When it comes to mid efficiency and high efficiency furnaces there are three basic types you can choose from – single stage, two stage and modulating. A single stage furnace runs at full capacity when heat is needed. With a single stage furnace, even if your home only needs your furnace to run at 50 – 60% capacity it will run at full capacity, which is obviously not the most energy efficient option. Until you shut it off a single stage furnace will run at full capacity. If you only need to heat your house to a certain temperature then this type of furnace will not be ideal for you. A two stage furnace tends to be a better option when it comes to efficiency than the single stage furnace. A two stage furnace runs in the first stage at 65% capacity and only kicks into full capacity when needed. When heating your home a two stage furnace is more efficient. A two stage furnace makes your home more comfortable because it eliminates temperature jumps. Heating your home at a constant temperature will reduce temperature jumps..

With up to 65 stages of heat output a modulating furnace is a great energy efficient option. Modulating furnaces use variable speed ECM motors (electronically commutated motor) . By lasting longer and operating for a fraction of the cost of a standard furnace a modulating furnace is a good option to save money on your heating bill. An ECM (electronically commutated motor) variable speed blower furnace has many benefits. Reduce energy consumption by up to 80% with a variable speed blower furnace. Minimizing noise transmissions makes an ECM variable speed blower furnace 24 times quieter than a conventional furnace. An ECM variable speed blower furnace saves 16% on your central air conditioning energy use. Enhance humidity control in your home by using an ECM variable speed blower furnace.Increase the comfort in your home and improve temperature stability by using an ECM blower motor. With longer operating cycles the ECM blower motor modulates heat. Air satification causes hot air to rise to the ceiling and cold air to drop to the ground. Air satification can be reduced in your home by running your furnace constantly. Jumps in temperature cost you more money because they cause your furnace to work harder, therefore it is better to maintain one constant temperature at all times in your home so that if you have a two stage or modulating furnace the furnace will never need to run at 100% in order to heat your home..

The best way to ensure your furnace will run smoothly and have a long life span is to conduct regular maintenance on it. Don`t wait until your furnace breaks before you take care of it, fixing a furnace is expensive and costs more than regular maintenance. You should think about your furnace as a major home investment that is worth protecting with regular maintenance. You risk frozen, broken pipes if your furnace breaks and you can`t heat your home. Regular furnace maintenance will decrease your energy use, reduce your heating bills and make your home more comfortable. Ensuring your filters and coils are clean is a part of regular furnace maintenance. Not only should your filters and coils be clean you also want to make sure that the exhaust fans, pumps and burners perform well.Sometimes you can purchase maintenance plans that will provide extra coverage on your furnace parts. Conduct regular furnace maintenance by scheduling maintenance pre season. Regular maintenance will ensure that your furnace performs to your manufacturers specifications for efficiency.
