Furnace PricesPoints to Ponder when Looking at Furnace Prices When everything is working and you have heat in the winter time most people tend not to give their furnace a second thought. The only time most people tend to think about furnace prices is when their old one quits working. Then it becomes an emergent situation where the need for heat might well override the cost of replacing the furnace. However even in this situation it is important that you do a little shopping and price comparing before just grabbing onto the first furnace that the repair guy recommends. Because furnace prices can be very expensive, you need to make sure that you are going to replace your furnace with one that is going to be as energy efficient as possible and yet still be affordable. When your furnace breaks down is not the only time to consider replacing it with a newer model. If your furnace is more than 20 to 25 years old, it is time to think about replacing it with a brand new far more efficient model. While high furnace prices might tend to make you think twice about replacing a furnace that is still working, it is still something you should consider. Your old furnace at best is 60 to 65% efficient, this means that for every dollar you spend on heating your home, 35 to 40 cents of it is going up the chimney and not being used to heat your home. Over the period of one winter this can add up to hundreds of wasted heating dollars going up the chimney. Today's energy efficient furnaces are rated at anywhere from 80 to 95% efficient which means that even if you choose to go with the lower furnace prices you are still going to be saving an additional 15 to 20% on your annual heating bill. If you decide to take the plunge and have an ultra efficient 95% model you will be saving 25 to 30% on your annual heating bill. With these kinds of savings it will not take very many winters for your new furnace to pay for itself in lowered heating bills. One other thing that you should take into consideration when you are looking at furnace prices is the fact that because they are new they come with a warranty. Generally speaking the more expensive furnaces tend to come with a longer and better warranty. Many manufacturers are now offering an extended service and warranty plan that can save you even more money over the long run. On the other hand your old furnace may end up costing you a lot of money in repairs this coming winter as it ages and becomes more susceptible to breaking down.
