High-Efficiency Furnace Installation

What Is a High-Efficiency Furnace?

High-efficiency furnaces have a primary and a secondary heat exchanger. When this furnace runs, it pulls so much heat out of the flue gas that it condenses and produces water, which goes down the drain via a PVC pipe.

The installation of high-efficiency furnaces includes changes to your existing venting and the installation of a condensate line. One small wrinkle is that the condensate drain system needs to be free of clogs. Homeowners can clear this themselves or have an HVAC contractor do it while they perform annual maintenance.

How Much Money Could You Save With a High-Efficiency Furnace?

Now we get to the math. A standard-efficiency furnace returns 80 cents to the dollar you put into it. A high-efficiency model returns at least 90.

So you get 10-18 cents to the dollar every time it runs. Your fuel bill, as we’ve mentioned, is about half of the total energy bill. That adds up. I tell people that they can expect to pay off the difference between the initial costs of the two furnaces in four to seven years.

Of course, there are dozens of factors in this equation. How often do you run it? What’s the climate like during the winter? What is the thermometer set to? Do you take extra steps to winter-proof your home? How many occupants will be living there? And so on. Putting an exact number on your savings is a moving target.

One question we ask customers before we make a recommendation is, “How long do you expect to be in your home?” If you’ll be in your home long-term, investing in a high-efficiency will pay off. The bigger the house, the bigger the furnace, the more you’re going to save.

The Biggest Benefit of a High-Efficiency Furnace

Comfort. Plain and simple. You’ll thank yourself because this furnace satisfies your need for temperature and humidity control, and indoor air quality. You’ll breathe better. Your energy bills will be lower. Those uneven temperatures that you’ve put up with will disappear. Your HVAC system will provide you with the comfort you deserve.
