In a cold climate like Nebraska’s, heating is a high cost for homeowners. If you’re using an old, inefficient heater, you may be paying a lot more than needed. The experts at Wellmann Heating & Air, Inc can help you consider a new furnace installation in Walton, NE. You can save money month to month and even take advantage of energy incentives.
High-Efficiency Furnace Installation Upgrades
The first consideration is whether you want an electric or fuel-fired furnace. Electric furnaces are certainly viable in our region and have the advantage of cleaner, safer operation. That said, fuel-burning furnaces, and natural gas furnaces in particular, are more common. The cost of gas simply makes them more cost-effective over the life of the equipment.
The next step is to determine the size of the furnace needed for your home. We’ll determine that figure accurately through a personalized load calculation. Our installer can account for your home’s floor plan, ceiling heights, and square footage. We can also factor in the location, building envelope, and a house side that gets significant direct sunlight.
Once we know the furnace size, we can explore energy efficiency within that space. The industry uses the annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating to gauge efficiency. Consider that the typical gas furnace has an 80 AFUE rating. That means that it successfully converts 80% of the fuel it burns into home heating. We also offer condensing furnaces that start at 90 AFUE and range even higher. That’s because they have a second heat exchanger that eliminates much of the heat losses through the flue.
We also recommend considering energy-saving add-ons that can lower fuel use even more. A programmable thermostat can lower annual heating costs by up to 8%. Our company offers smart thermostats that provide additional ways to save. Those include remote access and energy monitoring. You can take advantage of local demand response programs with a compatible thermostat. We also install zone control systems that can reduce your overall energy savings by as much as 30%.
