Professional Furnace Replacements
When the cold winter months arrive, a reliable furnace is essential for home comfort and safety. Sizing and installing a furnace requires technical expertise, exact measurements, and precise gas or electrical line connections. At Coatney Home Comfort, our certified heating specialists guide you through the process of selecting the ideal furnace for your home's layout and heating needs.
Understanding Furnace Efficiency (AFUE)
Furnace efficiency is measured by AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency), which indicates the percentage of fuel converted to usable heat rather than escaping through flue pipes:
- Standard Efficiency (80% AFUE): A solid, reliable option that is cost-effective upfront. Ideal for milder climates or homes with lower heating usage.
- High-Efficiency (90% - 97% AFUE): These furnaces feature secondary heat exchangers that capture escaping heat. They significantly lower heating bills and reduce environmental impact.
- Variable-Speed Blower Motors: Instead of running at full speed or off, variable-speed blowers adjust airflow gradually to maintain consistent temperatures and reduce energy consumption.
Our Professional Sizing & Installation Process
To ensure your new furnace operates safely and at peak efficiency, we perform the following steps:
- Heat Load Analysis: We calculate your home's heat loss to ensure the furnace is neither oversized (causing short-cycling) nor undersized (unable to maintain comfort).
- Exhaust Venting Inspections: For high-efficiency systems, we install specialized PVC venting to exhaust condensation and gases safely.
- Safety Inspections & Carbon Monoxide Testing: We verify all gas lines, exhaust vent seals, and heat exchangers are fully secure to prevent combustion gas leaks.
