The Energy Efficiency Of Your Furnace And What To Look For

How do I know the energy efficiency of my furnace?
Your HVAC must run as efficiently as possible.
It’s also important to know the signs of when it’s time to make the change to an energy efficiency system.
Furnace Age
Your furnace might have the highest AFUE rating on the market. But how old is it? The average heater has a life expectancy of 15 to 20 years.
Furnace efficiency can also decline by about five percent each year without proper maintenance.
And even if you’ve had regular visits from your local HVAC repair company, the components in your heating system will eventually start to degrade due to age and use.
Energy Bill
Energy-efficient heating and air conditioning units are designed to save you money.
A dramatic increase in your monthly energy bills warrants a service call.
Increased Frequency Of Repairs
If you find yourself reaching out to your local HVAC company more than usual, your unit most likely isn’t as energy efficient as it once was.
AFUE Rating
AFUE stands for “annual fuel utilization efficiency.” AFUE is a measurement of how well your furnace uses fuel to heat your home.
The higher the rating, the more efficient your heating unit.
Routine Maintenance
Keep your heating and air conditioning units working efficiently by getting routine HVAC maintenance.
Routine maintenance involves annual inspection, which includes changing the air filters, checking electrical connections, and looking for any potential issues that could impact your unit’s efficiency.
Making smart decisions about your HVAC unit dramatically reduces your utility bills.

“Matt Stringer’s work and workers are so good. He came out promptly when our air conditioner went out in the middle of summer. The replacement part and labor were a lot less money than we expected!
One of his technicians checked and serviced our furnace before winter hit, and replaced a part that was about to break, again at a small cost to us. The technician was so polite and friendly. We recommend this company highly for all of your HVAC needs.”
