A malfunctioning furnace can be a major headache for a homeowner.

Do You Need to Replace Your Furnace?

Knowing when it might be time to replace your gas or electric furnace is important. There are many factors involved and making the right decision between repairs and replacement can end up saving you lots of money, not to mention time and stress.

You may want to consider replacing your furnace if any of the following are true:

• The cost of repairs is more than the cost of a full replacement
• Your furnace requires frequent or repeated repairs
• Your furnace is more than 12 years old and has not been well-maintained
• Your furnace is not very energy-efficient
• Your furnace does not adequately heat your home
• Repairs are not possible to keep your furnace running properly

Our experienced technicians can help you find a furnace that is the right size for your home, offers the energy efficiency you desire, and meets your budgetary requirements. Once you’ve selected a replacement system, we’ll get right to work replacing your old furnace with your new one.

Choose the Best Furnace System For Your Home

Looking for a new furnace system, but don’t know what to choose? Here are varying factors to consider to help you pick the best system for you and your family.

Single-Stage Furnace

Also known as a single-speed furnace, a single-stage furnace only has one stage when it comes to the heating operation: high. This means that the furnace will constantly release the maximum amount of heat no matter the temperature outdoors or in specific areas of the home. In turn, while single-stage furnaces may have the cheapest upfront cost out of the three variants, single-stage furnaces are also less efficient.

Two-Stage Furnace

A two-stage furnace is engineered to operate at a high or low capacity. This type of furnace is more efficient when compared to single-stage furnaces. Typically, two-stage furnaces can heat up your home at an 80% capacity. A two-stage unit will provide more consistent heat distribution throughout your home. We offer trustworthy furnace replacement services to homes in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey. To receive assistance with an issue, schedule a furnace installation appointment with our team of licensed technicians.

Variable Speed Furnace

A variable speed furnace refers to the variety of speed levels the furnace can operate on, making them the most efficient furnace type. A variable-speed furnace is able to correctly control the flow of heated air to your home, which allows them to use less energy in doing so.

We offer dependable variable-speed furnace installation services for homes in areas such as Bethlehem, Dover, Edison, Allentown, Charlotte, Wilmington, Trenton, and West Chester. Variable speed furnaces are more expensive up front. However, these furnaces end up costing less in the long run due to their efficiency.

What Size Furnace Do You Need?

When it comes to gas or electric furnaces — a single size does not fit all situations. You need a furnace that’s tailored to your home in order to effectively provide comfort for you and your family. But how do you know what to choose? Let’s take a look at how to choose your furnace size.

What is a British Thermal Unit?

A British Thermal Unit (BTU) is a metric that is used to measure the heat output of a heating system. Simply put, this metric is utilized to measure energy. Typically, the average furnace carries a BTU rating of 80,000 to 100,000. Ideally, you’ll need a furnace that provides 40 to 45 BTUs of heat per square foot of your home. For instance, if you have a home that’s 3,000 square feet, you’ll need a furnace that generates anywhere between 120,000 BTUs to 135,000 BTUs.

What is an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency Rating?

AFUE stands for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency and refers to the measurement of the energy input that is converted to heat (BTUs). When it comes to a system’s AFUE ratings, the higher the rating, the more efficiently your furnace will operate. For example, if your furnace has an AFUE rating of 80%, this means that the system will effectively fuel the usable heat while wasting the remaining 20%.

A high-efficient furnace will typically have a rating between 90 to 97 percent. A high AFUE will best ensure that your furnace runs effectively and save you money on your monthly bill in the long run.
