Are you heating your home with an older furnace that costs a lot to run? It’s an excellent time to consider professional heating installation services in Aloha, OR. A modern furnace installation by Pro Heating and Cooling, Inc. will be much more affordable each month. Consider that even standard fuel-burning furnaces have an annual fuel utilization efficiency of 80%. There are also high-efficiency models rated for 90% and higher.
"We had an excellent experience with Pro Heating and Cooling. Cesar was professional and responsive throughout the whole process and we are very pleased with our new furnace and AC unit."
The first choice you’ll need to make for your furnace replacement is the power or fuel source. Most modern furnaces, including fuel-burning systems, require some electricity. There are fully electric furnaces, but they can be expensive to run. If you need an electric furnace, you may want to consider pairing it with a heat pump for long-term savings. If you prefer a fuel-burning furnace, natural gas and liquid propane are popular options. For most homes, we’ll recommend using the fuel source that serves your current system since converting to a new fuel like gas involves significant added costs.
The next step in your furnace installation is to perform a load calculation. This is where your installer determines the ideal heating output for your home. Core factors include square footage, ceiling height, and floor plan. Other factors include your home’s location and building envelope. Once you know the BTUs or tonnage needed, you can explore efficiency.
Note that electric furnaces are nearly 100% efficient, but electricity is pricier than gas. When evaluating and comparing electric furnaces, you must consider consumption in watts. For fuel-burning furnaces, consider AFUE. The higher the AFUE rating, the cheaper the furnace will be to operate. Mid-efficiency furnaces have ratings between 80 and 89. High-efficiency models range from 90 to 98.5. Those models may also make you eligible for energy incentives that offset your initial cost.
Another important consideration for your heating installation is the minimum efficiency reporting value. The industry uses the MERV scale to gauge filter effectiveness. Filters also affect airflow, and there’s a limit to what a furnace supports. Opting for a furnace installation that supports a high MERV rating can make a dramatic difference in indoor air quality.
There are many excellent reasons to invest in a new furnace:
Higher efficiency
New warranty coverage
Enhanced indoor air quality
Faster and more even heating
Potential rebates and tax credits
