What You Should Know when You are Looking at New Furnaces
With winter on the way and the cost of heating fuels on the rise again many people are looking at their furnaces to see what they can do to improve their efficiency without having to go to the expense of replacing it with a brand new super efficient model. Part of maintaining your furnace is finding a company who has trained technicians who are capable of both inspecting and repairing your particular brand of furnace. This can help you to keep your furnace operating at peak efficiency all winter long saving you a lot of money on your heating bill.
If you decide to replace your heating system there are several different types of furnaces to choose from. The latest and most efficient furnaces are geothermal furnaces that make use of a coil buried underground filled with a heat transfer fluid. This fluid is pumped through a heat exchanger and is used to heat your home without the need for an outside fuel source. The action of the pump helps to warm the fluid as well adding to overall efficiency of the whole system.
You can also choose to go with one of the newest and extremely efficient gas furnaces. You can choose from ones that are 80, 93 and 95% efficient. When you are looking at these you should not only take into consideration the energy efficiency rating but how and where you are planning to install the new furnace. The most popular models are the 93% efficiency rated ones. While slightly more expensive than the 80% model, you no longer have to vent them through the roof and watch 20% of your energy dollars blowing up the flue. You can vent them horizontally using PVC pipe and realize a 14% overall savings.
You could choose to go with one of today's electric furnaces; however these are among the most expensive furnaces. They do have a few advantages; they burn no fuel in your home and therefore create no risk of carbon monoxide making them one of the safest furnaces available on the market. However if you are going to go this route you need to make sure that you buy the most energy efficient model you can afford.
