High Efficiency Furnaces: Save Money & Stay Warm

As you might guess, high efficiency furnaces typically cost more than average and low- efficiency furnaces. However, they tend to cost less to operate on a month to month basis as they use less fuel to generate the same amount of heat. Therefore, after a given payoff period, high efficiency furnaces tend to cost less than low efficiency furnaces.

If you call Action Auger today, an efficiency expert will explain how to calculate whether a high-efficiency furnace makes sense for you.

High Efficiency Gas Furnace

In Canada under the Energy Efficiency Regulations, the AFUE performance level for gas-fired furnaces was raised to 90% effective January 1, 2010. Until a more stringent ENERGY STAR specification is finalized, ENERGY STAR qualifications for gas fired furnaces are no longer recognized in Canada.

Furnace Efficiency Ratings & the Energy Efficient Furnace

There is a wide range of furnace efficiencies, although only high-efficiency gas furnaces are sold in Canada as of 2010. The range of efficiency will vary by fuel.
