Reasons to Upgrade Your Furnace

Reasons to Upgrade Your Furnace

The replacement of an old furnace with a new model requires and upfront investment. We understand that may be difficult. However, it is also a decision that will almost always pay off in the end. The benefits of upgrading your furnace when it is time outweigh any upfront cost. Here are some of those benefits you will get.

Old Age

Age is a major factor. So if your unit is already more than a couple decades old, then it is high time to get on replacing it. It may be challenging to determine the age if you are not the original owner, but we can come down and inspect the unit for you. Researching the model number and locating the original manual are good places to start.

Performance Slowing

There comes a time when the old furnace simply cannot keep up with your home’s heating demands. Many old furnaces heat up home unevenly. Or they heat in short cycles which leaves your home cold. Also, old furnaces have a tendency to contribute to indoor air quality issues, like high humidity or poor air circulation, which is poor for your health. And perhaps it is in often need of repairs just to stay working at all. Upgrading your furnace will eliminate these issues and allow for optimal performance and heating of your home.

Energy Efficient

Many of the newer furnaces today are energy efficient units. So they meet government standards for energy efficiency, which is a nice added benefit. And helps lower the cost of energy usage and fuel consumption. Oil furnaces that meet the Energy Star standards are more efficient than basic models and can save homeowners a nice chunk of money at the end of the year.

Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency

You might very well be asking yourself, what is the annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE)? Well, in a nutshell, there is a requirement for manufacturers of oil furnaces to calculate and display the AFUE for all new furnaces and boilers. So you will see this information featured prominently on your burner. The AFUE is displayed as a percentage. If you see an AFUE of 99 percent, then that indicates only 1 percent of the fuel input is lost, while the 99 percent is turned directly into home heating fuel. Every furnace has a different minimum requirement. We can help you go over this when you choose to upgrade your furnace.
