3 types of furnaces

The type you have changes how evenly your home heats and what you pay to run it.

Basic

Single-stage

Runs at one setting: full power. A 60,000 BTU furnace puts out 60,000 BTU every time until the thermostat is happy.

Better

2-stage

Starts on low (about 60–70% of full power) and only goes to high if needed. Most of the time it never needs high, so you get more even heat and save money.

Most efficient

Modulating / variable speed

Uses the outdoor temperature and your thermostat setting to deliver just the heat and airflow your home needs.

Efficiency savings

What could a 96% furnace save?

Enter roughly what you spend on heating gas in a year (check your gas bills) and your furnace's AFUE rating. Older furnaces are often around 80% or lower.

How we figure this: AFUE is the share of the gas that becomes heat in your home. Savings = yearly gas spend × (1 − current AFUE ÷ 96%). Example: $1,200 × (1 − 80 ÷ 96) = $200 a year. Actual savings depend on your home, ductwork, gas prices and weather.

Repair-or-replace math

The $5,000 rule

Slide in your furnace's age and the repair quote you were given.

Age × repair cost

Want us to check yours? →
How we figure this: The "$5,000 rule" is a common rule of thumb: multiply the furnace's age by the repair cost. Under $5,000, repairing usually makes sense. Over $5,000, replacing is usually worth a look. It is a guide only, not a quote. A technician will look at your furnace before recommending anything.

Not sure what size furnace you need?

The right size depends on a lot of things about your home. Call and we will help you figure it out.

Different Types Of Furnaces

Single Stage Furnace:

A single stage furnace is a furnace that only operates on a high stage. For example, if you have a 60,000 BTU furnace and the thermostat calls for heat, the furnace will be producing 60,000 BTU until the thermostat is satisfied.

2-Stage Furnace:

A 2-stage furnace has 2 BTU settings. When the thermostat calls for heat, the furnace will start on low fire (between 60-70% of high fire) for a period of time before going to the high stage if needed. For example, if you have a 100,000 BTU furnace your furnace will first run at 60,000-70,000 BTU before ramping to 100,000 BTU if needed. 80%-90% of the time your furnace will not ramp to high fire before the thermostat satisfies itself. By doing this provides a more even heat throughout your home and saves you money.

Modulating Or Variable Speed Furnace:

This type of furnace is the most efficient furnace there is. This furnace uses the outside temperature and the desired temperature inside to determine how many BTUs are needed and how much airflow is needed to reach the desired temperature inside.
