Upgrading to one of our high-efficiency heating units can be a smart investment for homeowners who want to save money on their energy bills while also enjoying enhanced comfort and reliability. Today’s new high-efficiency furnaces can save up to 50% in operating costs over a ten-year-old furnace, thanks to advances in technology and design that allow for greater energy efficiency and better performance.
Many older furnaces, especially those manufactured in 1990 or earlier, have Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) ratings of 65% or less. This means that a significant portion of the fuel used to heat your home is wasted, leading to higher energy bills and lower overall efficiency. By contrast, the minimum AFUE rated furnace that can be sold in the United States today is 80%, and our current product offering starts at 80% AFUE and goes all the way to a very efficient 96.6% AFUE rating.
Depending on your average usage, upgrading to a higher AFUE rated furnace can significantly reduce your gas bill and provide long-term savings. At Maxie Heating & Cooling, we offer many furnaces with variable and multi-speed features that can provide enhanced indoor comfort by slowly ramping up to your thermostat setting rather than simply turning on at full speed. This alleviates the “cold air blow” often associated with single-speed furnaces and dramatically reduces system noise, making for a more comfortable and quiet home.
Upgrading to a high-efficiency heating unit is a smart investment for homeowners who want to save money, reduce energy waste, and enjoy a more comfortable home. At Maxie Heating & Cooling, we can help you choose the right furnace for your needs and budget, and provide expert installation and ongoing maintenance to ensure optimal performance and efficiency.
