High-Efficient Furnace Savings
Are thinking about installing a new furnace? Are you tired of seeing your dollars travel up the chimney and out the vents? Our Furnace Efficiency Savings Calculator will help you determine whether getting a new high efficient furnace is the right decision for you.
If you would rather see an estimate than use the calculator, go to the bottom of this page to use our table to see how money per $100 spent on gas that you could save with a high-efficient furnace.
How To Use Your "Furnace Savings Calculator":
1. Determine how much money you spend on gas during the heating season.
Type amount (just the numerals) into the blank.
2. Use the chart below to find your Percent Annual Savings. Type the percentage ( ej. if you would save 25%, type .25) into blank.
3. Click the "Calculate Savings" button and see how much you can save each year!
***Individual rates, energy use, and consumption will affect annual heating cost and the amount you will save, it is an estimation.
Example:
If your current furnace was an 80% furnace in 1995 when it was installed new and it is 2011 now, your furnace is 15-16 years old and the AFUE is probably between 65% and 70%.
Prolong your Furnace Efficiency:
Your furnace becomes less efficient every year. To prolong the efficiency, we strongly suggest yearly Furnace Tune-Ups.
Decide which efficiency you would like for your new furnace and type the difference between the old and the new into the "Percent Annual Savings" blank above.

AFUE - Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency, This percentage represents the furnaces heating efficiency. The higher the percentage, the more efficient the furnace. Over time, your furnace becomes less and less efficient. Maintaining your furnace annually can increase the efficiency and life of your furnace.
