What Do Good Furnaces Have in Common?
The best furnaces are efficient. They are quiet, long-lasting, and low in service frequency and cost. They keep a home warm and comfortable and provide steady, dependable performance.
Which System is Energy-Efficient?
When a furnace loses or wastes heat, it takes more energy to keep your home warm. Some of that loss happens through the walls of the furnace cabinet, which is why better units line the cabinet interior with insulation. More is lost when a gas furnace sits idle and warm household air drifts up the venting system and out the roof. An induced-draft blower paired with hot surface ignition addresses that. It pulls combustion gases through the heat exchanger at a controlled rate while the burner is firing, then stops when the burner cycles off, keeping heated air inside the system.
Furnace efficiency is measured as AFUE, or Annualized Fuel Utilization Efficiency, the share of fuel the unit converts into usable heat. New gas furnaces sold today have to reach at least 80% AFUE, and condensing models run into the mid-90s.
A high-efficiency furnace carries a higher price tag, but lower operating costs can make up the difference over the life of the unit.
Are Some Heat Pumps Better Than Others?
Naturally, energy efficiency matters. But low operating costs are little comfort if the service and repair bills are high, so don't be sold on the efficiency rating alone.
Ask about the compressor. It does the hard work in a heat pump and it is the most expensive component to replace. Scroll compressors have fewer moving parts than the older reciprocating design, which generally means quieter operation and a longer service life. Ask about the warranty as well, and about who honors it locally, since a long parts warranty is worth less if nobody nearby will do the labor.
What Should I Know About SEER2 and HSPF2?
The Department of Energy requires manufacturers to rate heating and cooling equipment for efficiency on a seasonal basis. Since 2023 those ratings are SEER2, or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2, for cooling, and HSPF2, or Heating Seasonal Performance Factor 2, for heating.
A heat pump carries both numbers because it does both jobs. The higher each rating, the less energy the unit uses. High-efficiency models cost more up front, but lower operating costs mean the payback period may be shorter than you expect, and efficient equipment is worth something at resale to an energy-conscious buyer.
