Please review these tips as you consider a new or replacement furnace for your home:

Furnace Efficiency

Lennox Furnace with Save Home Heat InstallerFurnaces with gas efficiency ratings of up to 99% AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) are now available, providing the quietest and most comfortable heating we have ever offered. Some models also have much more efficient fan motors, with significantly lower electrical consumption.

Save Home Heat Company‘s complete furnace line includes a broad range of quality high efficiency and moderate efficiency systems to suit any need. We understand that the most efficient furnace doesn’t always make the most sense for all families. Our goal is to help you decide on the best system to meet your unique goals, one which is the right fit for your home.

Many older furnaces that our technicians and estimators see daily are currently operating with efficiencies in the 70% to 80% AFUE range. We also see a number of early vintage 90+ rated systems that have ‘seen better days,’ and it’s due time to upgrade. Whether you are currently in the market for a new furnace or gathering information for a future purchase, make sure that you have your current furnace inspected and serviced regularly to ensure your family’s safety.

Noise

Modern high-efficiency furnaces often have sealed burning chambers and doors with gaskets to isolate operating noise inside the furnace. This was not the case with many of the earlier 90-plus models. Most modern systems also employ a two-pipe sealed combustion venting design, which additionally reduces furnace noise inside your home. Our most popular furnace models, two-stage and modulating furnaces, operate at reduced BTU and fan levels much of the time, further minimizing furnace noise in the mechanical area, as well as the sound of air moving through the duct system.

The unpleasant result of this practice was the loud ‘woosh’ sound often associated with older systems trying to deliver more air than the ducting could handle. Modern sizing practices at Save Home Heat Company have eliminated this issue.

Combine all these factors, and you may end up with a significantly quieter furnace!

Furnace Effectiveness and Comfort

A properly sized and installed furnace can make a huge improvement in the comfort level in your home. And while it may seem counter-intuitive, a smaller system is often what your home needs to heat better.

An oversized furnace, providing more heat than is needed each time it turns on, produces very short, inefficient heating cycles–which leads to uncomfortable temperature swings between each call for heat. The more appropriate, longer heating cycles produced by a properly sized furnace allow warm air to distribute more evenly around your home while allowing the equipment to run at its optimal operating efficiency.

Along with accurately sizing your replacement furnace, proper airflow is the other key. During the installation process, we typically modify the sheet metal surrounding the furnace–the output plenum and the return air duct–to improve air movement thru the furnace and as a result, enhance heat delivery through your home’s ducting system.

If your home doesn’t heat evenly or comfortably, we can help!

Variable-Capacity Furnaces

Furnace Installation ProcessFor nearly a century, single stage furnaces, which operate at a fixed heat output level, were the norm in residences with forced air heating. Quality single-stage furnaces are still readily available, and they will still heat your home adequately. However, the technology is quickly becoming outdated and replaced by equipment featuring two-stage or variable-output (aka. variable-capacity) designs. These newer furnaces have been in use for many years now, and many features are available in both moderate and high efficiency models.

Variable-capacity and two-stage furnaces can significantly improve comfort by more evenly distributing the warm air in your home, at quieter, less intrusive levels. Customers who have forced air heating often complain that parts of their homes don’t heat well, or that they freeze in certain areas and boil in others or that temperature swings are too noticeable! The best replacement furnace solution to help address these concerns is a modulating furnace. By delivering air at a reduced output level for longer periods of time, adjusting in small increments to the needs of your home, variable output equipment can potentially eliminate, or significantly reduce these issues.

In addition, the longer, moderate heating cycles of two-stage and modulating furnaces allow your furnace filter and central humidifier more time to do a better job cleaning and humidifying your indoor air!

Variable-Speed Furnaces

Variable-speed furnaces are those heaters that have the advanced variable-speed main blower technology. These types of fans are the quietest and mostly electrically efficient available, and are standard equipment on all ultra efficient variable-capacity furnaces. Variable-speed fans can also be found on select models of two-stage 90%-plus and 80% efficient furnaces. If you are looking for the quietest furnaces in either efficiency range, affording the greatest comfort levels and least intrusive operation, we recommend that you strongly consider one of the variable-speed models furnaces in our broad product line.

Environmental Impact

We Sell Energy StarIn this age of carbon footprint awareness, we do our best to offer you heating systems that allow you to lighten your environmental impact while still achieving superior comfort levels. Compared to furnaces that we replace on a regular basis, a new high-efficiency system will burn more cleanly, reducing emissions into the atmosphere. And by using less fuel in the process, our limited gas resource is conserved.

Save Home Heat Company also actively recycles everything that can be removed from the stream of trash that ends up in landfills, from your old furnace and sheet metal plenum, to the box the new furnace came in–to empty pop cans and scrap paper from our office, warehouse, and workshop!
