Two weeks ago, we wrote a blog about how to tell that your old furnace should retire. One of those signs is a furnace that costs too much to run. It’s obvious that an aging machine simply won’t be as energy efficient as a newer one. However, there’s more to the improvement in energy efficiency with a new furnace. The technology of furnaces has increased significantly, allowing them to convert their energy source to heating fuel with much less waste than ever before. For example, the average AFUE rating of gas furnaces was once around 60%, which means that only 60% of the energy the furnaces consumed was converted to thermal energy, and 40% went to waste. Today furnaces can score AFUE ratings of 80% up to 97%. How is this possible?
