Winter wonderlands belong outside, not taking up the comfort of your home. When your furnace struggles to maintain a comfortable temperature, it might be because:
While that last problem can be fixed with some maintenance and repair work, the first two issues are a different matter. Whether your furnace is aging out or if it never had the strength to heat your home in the first place, we invite you to explore our Choosing a New Furnace Guide in Lafayette, IN, to select the right one for you!
First, you need to decide which kind of furnace you want. Each has its own pros and cons:
Pros: No possibility of carbon monoxide buildup; no need for gas/oil/propane; more environmentally friendly.
Cons: Less efficient than other types; can be expensive to heat your home
Pros: Fast heating
Cons: Requires an oil tank; most likely buried underground; needs maintenance to avoid fire hazards or dangerous gases
Pros: Affordable
Cons: Less efficient than propane; produces toxic gases such as carbon monoxide, requiring a flue; needs more routine maintenance to operate safely than other furnaces
Pros: Doesn’t require a flue; more efficient than natural gas
Cons: Requires a holding tank and a vent to the outside
Perhaps the most important part of this Choosing a New Furnace Guide in Lafayette, IN, is the size of your chosen furnace. For optimal efficiency, you need a “Goldilocks” furnace: One that’s not too small and not too big. If the furnace is too small, it won’t provide enough heat and will run all the time. If it’s too big, it will constantly switch on and off, causing excessive wear and tear.
Gas furnaces use the annual fuel-utilization-efficiency (AFUE) rating system, which rates furnace efficiency by percentage. The higher the percentage, the more efficient the furnace.
All new gas furnaces must be at least 78% efficient, and they must be 90% efficient to qualify for an ENERGY STAR label. Many newer gas furnaces carry ratings of 95% and higher, and electric furnaces have AFUE ratings of 100% since they convert electricity directly to heat.
