In Henderson City, gas furnaces are quickly replacing old aged heaters using oil due to their high efficiency. So, if you are planning to replace your old HVAC system with a new generation gas furnace here are few guidelines for you from Las Vegas Air Conditioning Repair expert.

Evaluate correct Sizing

• Based on the floor space and the size of your house, the volume of air that requires be heating and circulating will vary.

• You need to evaluate the exact size of furnace that can adequately supply enough warmth to the enclosed space.

• You can take guidance from your HVAC professional in this task.

Check the Efficiency factor

• Check the Annual Fuel Utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating, which is usually quoted in percentage.

• Higher the percentage, more efficient is the furnace and energy savings.

• Furnaces with AFUE ranging from 60% to 90% are suited for houses in temperate climate.

• High efficiency furnaces (more than 90% AFUE rating) are better suited for colder climates.

Type & Features

• You need to choose from their two basic types…condensing and non-condensing. Among gas heaters, there are two prime types, which you may choose from.

• Condensing types come with separate heat exchangers that draw heat from exhaust gases which are emitted in the combustion process of natural gas. These are more energy efficient but also bit expensive.

• Non-condensing types do not have this feature.

• You need to pay attention to other parameters like variable speed fans and programmable thermostats.

Calculate ROI

• A comparison between diverse options will let you know which equipment offers more ROI for you.

• A calculation of ROI (return on investment) is done by dividing the total furnace cost by savings on energy bills per year.
