Save Money with a High Efficiency Gas Furnace

Current trends show that people are becoming more and more interested in the efficiency of products. While energy efficient products are better for the environment, they can also mean a number of other benefits. For example, if a car is more fuel efficient, it can go farther on a single tank of gas and it saves the vehicle owner money. If an LED light bulb is more efficient, it can produce a brighter light using less electricity while giving off little heat.

The benefits that efficiency brings can also be clearly seen in the range of high efficiency gas furnace products available on the market today. High efficiency furnaces allow individuals to see significant energy savings while being more comfortable in their home or office. If you are looking for a high efficiency gas furnace or would like to learn more about the benefits that a new furnace can offer you, contact the professionals at Galmiche and Sons Heating and Cooling today.

How High Efficiency Gas Furnaces Save You Money

The general idea behind high efficiency gas furnaces is that they do a better job of converting the fuel or resource into heat so that they can use less energy to produce a greater amount of heat. As a home or property owner, you pay for the amount of gas that you consume. In an ideal world, all of the gas that you pay for would actually be used to heat your home or property. Unfortunately, for a long time, the reality was very far from this ideal. Instead of all of the gas being used to heat your property, much was wasted.

In the past, gas furnaces were only about 65 or 70 percent efficient. Today, furnaces are becoming more efficient and that number can reach as high as 97 percent efficiency. Since most of the gas is used for heating by these high efficiency gas furnaces, you end up spending less on utilities for the same level of heating.

While there is usually an upfront cost for installing these types of furnaces as part of your HVAC system, this cost tends to balance out over time as the result of lower monthly gas bills.

High Efficiency Gas Furnace Types

When it comes to high efficiency gas furnaces, there are some sub-categories to consider. For instance, these furnaces can be categorized based on how precise they are at adjusting their intensity. The main types include single stage gas furnaces, two stage furnaces, and modulating furnaces.

• Single State Gas Furnaces: This type of furnace operates at full intensity all of the time and no adjustments take place over the course of operation.
• Two State Furnaces: These furnaces can operate at either 65 percent intensity or 100 percent intensity. If the need for heating is less, the furnace can drop down to the lower heating output. As a result, these furnaces can use less fuel when operating at lower output levels.
• Modulating Furnaces: These high efficiency furnaces allows for very precise output and temperature adjustments, providing you with the greatest amount of flexibility and allowing for the best efficiency.
