Efficiency
High-efficiency natural gas furnaces can be up to 96% efficient, meaning more of your heating bill actually goes towards heating. Two common types of efficiency ratings are high and mid efficiency furnaces that are economical, clean and safe, and will add value to your home.
Tips
Find out your furnace’s current Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating. This will tell you how much energy your furnace actually converts to heat. High-efficiency furnaces typically deliver 96% AFUE, while mid-efficiency furnaces deliver 80% AFUE.
Installation considerations. A natural gas furnace requires gas fitting and reliable air duct system in order to work properly.
Cost Savings. A good forced air furnace replacement can cost a bit more up front but significantly lower your annual heating bill.
