With This Handy Buyer's Guide, You Can Select A Furnace That Conforms To Your Home's Unique Heating Demands

The complexity of home comfort equipment has brought about a need for homeowner education. With winter approaching, many homeowners are searching to replace outdated, inefficient furnaces. The staff at Rodenhiser would like to help you sort through some of the more important factors you need to know in order to make your decision easier. Here are a few tips to help you make an informed decision:

  • Sizing: Every home is different. Room sizes, floor plan, ceiling heights, insulation and the number of occupants affect heating requirements. Before making a decision, have a certified heating contractor determine the size you need to get maximum comfort for the lowest energy costs. Be sure to request a copy of the sizing report.
  • AFUE Ratings: Evaluate the Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating for the equipment you'll be purchasing. Minimum standards are currently set at 78. Energy Star-qualified products will have higher ratings. Although they may sometimes be more expensive, the fuel savings from Energy Star-approved equipment will offset those extra costs in just a few winters.
  • Certified Contractors: The best heating contractors will ensure proper installation of your furnace. Properly installed equipment will operate at maximum efficiency and last longer. Get references, ask questions and use only trusted installers.
  • Advanced Efficiency Features: The best furnaces have sealed combustion and a second heat exchanger to maximize fuel savings. These additional features will pay you back in fuel savings over the life of the equipment.
  • Warranties: Get all installer and manufacturer warranties in writing. Protect your new equipment and your purchase with written documents.

With proper sizing, a high AFUE-rated Energy Star-qualified system, expert installation, advanced features, and a strong warranty, you can be assured of outstanding winter comfort, energy-efficiency and a long equipment lifespan. Make buying choices that are wise today and last years to come.
