If you have an old furnace, you’re probably paying a lot more for home heating than you should. Consider a furnace replacement in Lakewood, CA from Service All-Stars. Furnaces can use significantly more fuel as they age. A new furnace installation will use less simply because it’s newer. Another consideration is that furnace technologies have advanced since you installed yours 15 years ago or more. There are also energy incentives that help to make a new furnace more affordable.
"Great company to work with! Respected my home during the job. They worked fast and efficiently. Sal explained the products and services they offered very nicely. We were not over charged and we are satisfied!! Recommended and referred."
A heating installation in Lakewood is an opportunity to reassess your home heating needs. Accurate furnace sizing requires a load calculation, which has become more sophisticated. We’ll account for the cubic footage and floor plan of your home. Our calculation will also factor in the building envelope, including insulation, local climate, location, and other factors. Doing this will give us a precise heating output requirement for your home in British thermal units, or BTUs.
Once you know the required BTUs, you can explore energy efficiency. Two main classes of systems are available for furnace replacement: mid- and high-efficiency. Mid-efficiency furnaces have a modern but traditional design. High-efficiency furnaces have additional equipment. Condensing boilers can reclaim heat from exhaust gases. Multi-stage and variable-speed furnaces can ramp up and down rather than run at a constant speed.
We use the annual fuel utilization efficiency ratio (AFUE) to measure efficiency. All electric furnaces have an AFUE of 100% because they don’t lose heat through exhaust, but the ratio for fuel-burning furnaces varies. The higher the AFUE ratio, the more efficiently the system burns fuel. The minimum AFUE allowed by the Department of Energy for gas furnaces is 80. Mid-efficiency gas furnaces range from AFUE 80 to 89. High-efficiency furnaces range from 90 to 98.5.
Choosing a high-efficiency model for your furnace installation will cost more upfront. However, it’s often worthwhile if you use a furnace for your primary heating. Your day-to-day heating costs will be significantly lower. You can also take advantage of rebates and tax credits that help you recoup the initial investment faster. However, some homes aren’t suited for high-efficiency types. We can inspect your home and provide a consultation on what’s best.
A modern furnace installation can provide you many benefits:
Lower heating costs
Better indoor air quality
Smaller carbon footprint
Reduced fuel consumption
Quieter and safer furnace operation
