Factors to Consider When Choosing a Furnace
Selecting the right furnace involves considering several key factors:
- Efficiency: Look for furnaces with a high Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating. Higher AFUE ratings mean better efficiency and lower operating costs.
- Size: The furnace should be appropriately sized for your home. An undersized unit will need help to heat your home, while an oversized unit can lead to inefficient operation and higher costs.
- Fuel Source: Choose the fuel source that is most readily available and cost-effective in your area.
- Features: Modern furnaces have various features, such as variable-speed blowers, advanced filtration systems, and smart thermostats. Consider which features are important to you.
- Brand and Warranty: Select a reputable brand known for reliability and good customer service. Check the warranty terms to ensure you’re covered for any potential issues.
