Winter is here, and your old furnace is on its last legs. If you're considering buying a furnace as an upgrade or replacement, there are many things to consider before purchasing a new unit. Modern heating systems have many benefits that the older ones did not offer. New gas furnaces are much more efficient and use far less energy than their older counterparts. In addition, new furnaces come with a variety of advanced efficiency features that maximize the amount of fuel that gets converted into usable heat in your home.
When you're buying a new furnace, there are so many furnace brands on the market that it's hard to know which one will work the best for your home. It's helpful to have the advice of a trusted HVAC professional to help. He can help you choose a new furnace to fit the size and special characteristics of your home for maximum efficiency and comfort.
A furnace that's too big will waste energy as it cycles on and off frequently. It won't evenly heat your rooms, and spending so much time in the off cycle, it likely won't provide optimum air filtration. A furnace that's too small will struggle to meet your temperature demands.
