While replacing your furnace may not have been at the top of your priority list this year, sometimes you are faced with a broken one that isn’t heating your home properly and the decision is made for you. When you are picking a new furnace for your home, there are going to be several options for you to choose from. Before you make the selection, you need to consider a few different factors into your decision. A&M Heating & Air Cooling is here to share some tips to help you make the right choice.
What You Should Consider When Selecting a New Furnace for Your House
The process of selecting the right furnace for your home isn’t as simple as you may think. Here are some considerations that you need to make while choosing the right unit.
– Size of Furnace: One of the most important parts of choosing a new furnace for your home is choosing one that is the right size for your house. This is vital in keeping your home comfortable. Choosing an over or under-sized unit will lead to issues and a shorter lifespan for your new system. Working with a professional, you can find the perfect sized furnace for your needs and square footage.
– Furnace Fuel Type: There is more than one fuel type for furnaces. Knowing the type of fuel your home’s heating system uses is another important thing to consider. The most common fuels are natural gas, propane, oil, and electricity. If you are thinking about changing the type of fuel your furnace uses, it requires a large amount of work to make that change including new wiring, gas lines, or other improvements. It is always going to be more cost effective to use the same fuel as your old system.
– Heating Efficiency: Another huge consideration to make has to do with efficiency. It might e tempting to choose a cheaper, less efficient furnace when replacing yours with a new one, but that comes at a cost as well. You will spend more money throughout the lifespan of your unit in energy bills. Choosing a unit that is as efficient as possible within your budget will end up paying off in the end. It can be helpful to work with an HVAC professional to help walk you through all the different efficiency options.
