New Heating Replacement Factors to Consider
Single and two-stage burner operation and two-speed, variable, and modulated fan operation are a couple of the choices you’ll face when considering a furnace replacement. These can help boost efficiency and comfort as well. They’re based on the fact that your furnace is usually in one of two modes: playing catchup and heating a cold house, or maintaining a comfortable temperature for you. The two-stage burner can “pour on the coals” so to speak and burn fuel at a high rate to allow your heating system to warm the house quickly, then fall back to a lower level or “cruise mode” to keep you comfortable. You won’t waste energy or cycling over a wide range of temperatures as it provides bursts of heat and lets your home cool a bit before repeating. The selection of fan speeds is designed to perform a similar function, fine-tuning your home’s temperature, with modulated fan speed usually the most precise and energy-efficient.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if it’s time to replace my furnace?
If your furnace is over 10-15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or struggles to maintain a consistent temperature, it may be time to consider a replacement. A new, energy-efficient model can improve your comfort and lower your energy bills.
What factors should I consider when choosing a new heating system?
Key factors include energy efficiency, system size, and advanced features like variable-speed fans and two-stage burners. A professional technician can help determine the best system based on your home’s size, insulation, and heating needs.
What are the benefits of two-stage burner operation in a furnace?
Two-stage burners allow your furnace to operate at a lower heating level during mild weather and a higher level when it’s colder. This improves energy efficiency, provides more consistent temperatures, and reduces wear and tear on your system.
How long does a heating installation take?
A typical heating installation takes about 4 to 8 hours, depending on the complexity of the system and any necessary modifications to your home’s ductwork or electrical system.
How much can I save on energy bills with a new furnace?
A new, high-efficiency furnace can reduce your heating costs by up to 30%, depending on your previous system’s efficiency. New furnaces use advanced technology to provide more heat using less energy.
What maintenance is required for a new furnace?
Regular maintenance, such as changing filters, cleaning components, and annual inspections, is essential to keep your furnace operating efficiently. This can also help extend the life of your system and prevent costly repairs.
Can I finance my new heating system installation?
Yes, Environmental Heating & Air Solutions offers flexible financing options to make your heating installation more affordable. You can choose a payment plan that fits your budget while enjoying the benefits of a new furnace right away.
What is the difference between a single-speed and variable-speed furnace fan?
Single-speed fans run at one speed and turn off when your desired temperature is reached, while variable-speed fans adjust to maintain consistent airflow. Variable-speed fans are more energy-efficient and provide better temperature control.
Is a high-efficiency furnace worth the investment?
Yes, high-efficiency furnaces are worth the investment, as they reduce energy consumption, lower utility bills, and provide more consistent heating. Over time, the savings on energy costs can offset the higher initial cost of the unit.
How do I choose the right size furnace for my home?
Choosing the right size furnace is essential for efficiency and comfort. An HVAC technician can perform a load calculation based on your home’s size, insulation, and local climate to ensure you get the appropriately sized system.
