You can buy a furnace that uses gas, oil, or electricity, and we will dig into that a bit deeper in a moment. Oil and electric furnaces are right for some instances, but most St. Louis area homes use gas. There are three types of gas furnace:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Single-Stage<\/strong>: If you buy a furnace with a single-stage design, gas will flow into the furnace at one, high rate. This can work well for short-term heating, but is not the best choice for colder climates.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Two-Stage<\/strong>: As you might guess, a two-stage furnace can alternate between higher and lower settings in order to meet your home&rsquo;s changing heating needs over time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Modulating<\/strong>: Like a two-stage furnace, a modulating furnace can adjust the flow of gas. A modulating furnace, though, gives you even closer control gas flow and temperature.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Find_the_Right_Fuel_Source\"><\/span>Find the Right Fuel Source<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/how-to-buy-a-furnace-2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Tips to Buy a Furnace\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-7115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/how-to-buy-a-furnace-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/how-to-buy-a-furnace-2.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What are the conditions in which it might make sense to buy a furnace that runs on oil or electricity? For those with limited access to gas, oil furnaces are a good alternative. If neither oil nor gas is available, an electric furnace is your only option. Electric furnaces are also the cheapest to buy and install, but they tend to be more costly to run than the other options.<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consider_Energy_Efficiency\"><\/span>Consider Energy Efficiency<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In addition to choosing gas over electric, you should look out for indicators about energy efficiency when you buy a furnace. All furnaces get an AFUE rating that indicates how efficient they are. A 90% rating, for instance, indicates that 90% of the energy consumed by the system goes toward heating your home, rather than being lost or wasted. For all but the coldest regions, an 80% rating is usually a reasonable minimum.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Select_the_Right_Size\"><\/span>Select the Right Size<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Finally, you will want to make sure you buy a furnace that is sized correctly for your home. If you buy a furnace that is too small, it will not effectively heat your home. If you buy a furnace that is too big, you will waste money on fuel and operating costs. Make sure to ask your heating &amp; air conditioning service provider to estimate the heating needs of your home before you buy. They can help you calculate what size furnace you need based on the size of your home, how many windows it has, and other factors.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_More_Information_on_Buying_a_Furnace\"><\/span>Get More Information on Buying a Furnace<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are in the market to buy a furnace and would like to talk to a trusted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/contact-galmiche.php\">heating &amp; air conditioning<\/a> professional, connect with Galmiche &amp; Sons in St. Louis today.
