Book a Service Appointment Things to Consider When Choosing a New Furnace
Many factors are at play when buying a new electric or gas furnace:
- Comfort features. A single-stage furnace has basic on or off options. A two-stage furnace offers more control with high- and low-stage options, providing more consistent comfort. A modulating furnace offers the most precise temperature control.
- Humidity control. Humidity plays a vital role indoor air quality. You can partner your furnace with a whole-home humidifier to optimize humidity levels, so you feel warmer at cooler temperatures.
- Sound. If your furnace space is near a living area, consider one with an insulated cabinet to reduce noise. Moreover, two-stage and modulating units run more quietly than single-stage units.
- Energy efficiency. A furnace with the EnergyStar label uses between six and nine per cent less energy than other standard models. Home heating accounts for 61 per cent of your energy costs, so reducing your energy use with a high-efficiency furnace can save money in the long term.
5 Reasons to Replace or Upgrade Your Furnace
Is it time for a furnace upgrade in your home? Here are a few questions to consider.
- Is your furnace more than 18 years old? If so, it’s probably nearing the end of its life span.
- Has your furnace been acting up more often lately? Furnace repairs are a fact of life, but if you’re dealing with costly repairs every few months, it may be worth investing in a new model.
- Are your energy bills mounting year after year? Your furnace may be working harder to deliver the same amount of heat, and you might benefit from a new energy-efficient model.
- Are certain rooms cooler than others? It means your furnace is running inefficiently.
- Has your furnace gotten too noisy? Consider replacing it with a two-stage or modulating model.
