Furnace replacement in Poseyville is an opportunity to reassess your home’s heating needs. We recommend involving a professional installer early on because appropriate sizing is crucial. Undersized and oversized furnaces cost more over time because of decreased efficiency, more maintenance and repairs, and shorter equipment life span.
To size your new furnace, our installer will perform a precise load calculation. We’ll determine the cubic volume of the total area to heat. Our installer will also factor in climate, direct sunlight, insulation, and other aspects of the building envelope. When the calculation is complete, we’ll know the optimal size of the furnace you need in British thermal units (BTUs).
With that information in hand, we can discuss energy efficiency ratings. The industry measures furnace efficiency using the annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating. The minimum AFUE allowed by U.S. regulations is 80. An AFUE 80 furnace converts 80% of the fuel it burns into heat and wastes the other 20%.
Conventional or mid-efficiency furnaces range from 80 to 89 AFUE. High-efficiency furnaces range from 90 to about 98 AFUE. While high-efficiency furnaces are a lot more efficient, they cost significantly more. The goal is to find a balance between your initial costs and long-term savings. Rebates and tax credits can play a role here as well.
It’s also worth noting that many area homeowners are opting for a heat pump in addition to furnace installation. The heat pump provides cooling and very efficient heating. The furnace supports the heat pump during the coldest weather. This approach costs more upfront but can lower your total costs significantly over the next 20 to 30 years.
