Energy Ratings to Consider
When buying a new furnace, you want to make sure that you are getting a unit which runs efficiently, so it saves money for you down the line. Take note of the following energy efficiency ratings when you consider buying a new furnace:
ENERGY STAR®
Products with the ENERGY STAR® label will save at least 15-25% more energy than standard products. Nearly half of all YORK® furnaces are ENERGY STAR®-rated, so you know you are getting an efficient furnace that’s affordable to run all winter long.
Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE)
AFUE, or Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency, is a measure of your furnace’s efficiency. The higher the AFUE, the more efficient your furnace. The AFUE percentage is calculated by dividing the amount of fuel used by the heater by the amount of heat produced by it.
