When you get a new cellular phone, you may be excited to show your friends and family how much better it works than the older one. Your older phone may have been slow to run, offered very little storage, and had a run-down battery. But the new phone may use a totally different operating system and come equipped with a battery that lasts longer than any youbve ever seen. When you install a new furnace, especially if your old standing gas pilot model was decades old, youbll notice immediate energy savings and better performance, and you may even end up bragging to your friends.
Let the technicians at Comfort Central, Inc. help you select a new furnace that runs better and more efficiently than any youbve had before.
If your furnace is nearing the end of its lifespan, you may have noticed decreased efficiency over time. Sure, your furnace has always cost a lot of money to run, but now that itbs in desperate need of replacement, youbre noticing even higher utilities. This is to be expected, as the components of a furnace tend to wear down over time, which means they become overworked. A brand new furnace will have new parts so that the unit runs in top condition.
In fact, your new furnace will probably run much more efficiently than your old one did even when it was brand new. Older furnaces have an AFUE (annual fuel utilization efficiency) of about 50-60%, meaning they only use about half of the energy they require to run to actually heat up a home. Newer furnaces are required to have an AFUE of over 80%, which means a large majority of the energy utilized goes towards heating the living space.
So what technology brought on this change? For one, newer furnaces have advanced mechanical parts. But also, the new ignition systems used in gas furnaces, chiefly an intermittent pilot and hot surface ignition. With these types of ignition systems, the pilot light does not need to remain lit throughout the day, only when the heating cycle begins. So you donbt have to worry about throwing away natural gas throughout the day.
