Furnaces are by far the most popular type of heating system on the market today. Their high affordability, alongside their versatile fuel options, makes them the perfect solution for many homes. However, when you first start looking at the different furnaces available to you, it can be quite overwhelming, to say the least.
With the assistance of our HVAC technicians, we can clear the murky waters and help you determine what you need from the ideal furnace.

One of the first factors to consider is the type of fuel that you want your furnace to use. Furnaces can run on electricity, natural gas, heating oil, and propane. Not all these fuels are available in all areas of the country. You want to pick a fuel source that is available in your area and will be fairly affordable. Natural gas tends to be the most affordable followed by propane and heating oil. While electricity is widely available throughout the country, electric furnaces do cost more to run.
When you start looking at the different types of furnaces out there, you’ll discover that they fall into one or two categories. These include standard operating models that have efficiencies in the 80% range and high-efficiency models that have efficiencies in the 90% range. The latter are obviously going to use much less energy than standard systems. However, they do cost more upfront to purchase. Some high-efficiency models will make you eligible to receive a federal tax incentive to help offset the purchase price of your new furnace.
The heating capacity of your furnace will determine how effectively it can heat your home. If you get a furnace that has too small of a heating capacity, it’s going to run continuously and struggle to adequately heat your home. However, if you invest in a furnace that has too high of a heating capacity, it will waste an excessive amount of energy. As a general rule of thumb, you’ll want to multiply your home’s total square footage by 20 BTUs to get a ballpark idea of what your system’s heating capacity needs to be.
When you get a new furnace, it will come with warranty coverage from the manufacturer. You should be comparing the length of warranty for each type of furnace you’re considering. You’ll even want to consult with our HVAC technicians to learn about any extended warranty coverages that are available for particular systems.
