Is it time to get a new heating system?
Along with needing a new roof and paint, a new furnace is one of the last things a homeowner wants to hear. A new furnace can range from $3,000 to $5,000, even though it may not look like much in your attic or crawl space. A furnace’s lifespan can be somewhat variable. A well-maintained furnace has the potential to last for up to 20 years if used regularly. When your furnace finally gives out, and you need to replace it, you may be replacing a piece of mechanical and electronic equipment that is nearly twenty years old. So, your furnace bit the dust this year. It was probably built and designed in the early to mid-1990s. Back then, the efficiency of a good furnace was somewhere between 60 and 80 percent, meaning that only 80 percent of the heat produced by burning natural gas or oil entered the home, and the other 20 percent was wasted. If you are in the market for a new furnace, you may be surprised to learn that some models have efficiency ratings over 95%. Precisely what should you look into and acquire?
Selecting the Appropriate Heat Source
Choosing the best heater for your home requires careful consideration of many factors. Choosing a furnace to combat the freezing temperatures in Detroit is particularly important. If you look at any furnace, you’ll find that most of them purchase their heat exchangers, blower motors, electrical circuit boards, and so on from the same manufacturers. Like buying a computer, manufacturers combine all of these parts and slap their brand on them, but fundamentally, they are all the same. Lennox, Tempstar, and Coleman are often the most recognized brands in the heating appliance industry. The popular XV90 from Trane has an efficiency rating of 90-94%. The blowers in these two-stage furnaces can be adjusted at varying speeds. Many 2-stage furnaces save money by operating at a reduced speed (65%) for around 80% of the time. The following are the specific models Trane offers: The top-of-the-line Trane XV90 features a variable-speed blower and two-stage burner, while the XL90 and XR90 are equipped with four-speed and single-stage blowers, respectively. The American Standard subsidiary Trane has been manufacturing HVAC equipment for almost eight decades. The Infinity 96 gas furnace, the Infinity 93, the Infinity 80, the Comfort 92, and the Comfort 90 are all part of Carrier’s Infinity family of furnaces. The percentage represents the furnace’s Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating. Rheem manufactures the Prestige RGGD series, as well as the RGPR, RGLR, 90TJ, RGPQ, RGLQ, RGTK, 90RJ, and 80PJ models of furnaces. Rheem has 3-stage burners in several of their heaters.
Installing a Brand-New Heater
A furnace installation is not a job for the weekend handyman. Completing an old furnace with a new one—including ductwork, drainage, electrical and gas connections, and more—could take two specialists eight hours. Hiring a reliable, experienced, and trustworthy expert for the installation is crucial. If your furnace isn’t installed correctly, even if it’s the best on the market, it will function poorly. If you are dissatisfied with your new furnace, our installation will come and remove it at no cost to you anytime over the next 24 months. Most furnaces have a five-year warranty on parts and a lifetime warranty on the heat exchanger from the manufacturer.
