Choosing the Right Furnace
Every home has unique heating needs, and choosing the right system is a critical step in maximizing comfort and efficiency. When we recommend equipment, we consider several key factors, including:
- Fuel Type: Gas, electric, or oil furnaces each have their benefits.
- Efficiency Rating (AFUE): This measures how much energy a furnace converts into usable heat.
- System Size and Capacity: Your furnace needs to be carefully matched to your home’s square footage and insulation.
- Comfort Features: Available optional features include variable-speed blowers, quieter operation, or compatibility with smart thermostats.
By weighing these elements together, we make sure your furnace is the right fit for your household.
