We Help You Select the Furnace You Really Need
-
One Stage Furnaces
– A single stage or single speed furnace is the simplest motor. It is either on or it is off.
– When it is running it is running at full capacity, regardless of the temperature.
– Every time the thermostat calls for heat, the furnace kicks on at full blast, using maximum effort and maximum energy to bring the temperature up to the desired level.
– When it reaches the desired temperature, it shuts off, completely, creating large temperature swings until it gets cold enough to call for heat again. -
Two Stage Furnaces
– Most homes utilize a single stage furnace.
– A two stage furnace allows your furnace to use a lower stage on days when it isn’t as cold and reduce energy consumption.
– Then on those really cold days, the second stage kicks in to keep your family comfortable in any weather.
– Not only is this far more energy efficient, but the lower blower speed allows the furnace to operate more quietly at the lower stage.
– A two stage furnace is great for balancing out hot and cold spots throughout your home.
– Best of all, this energy saving feature is a simple upgrade that usually isn’t too expensive. -
Modulating Furnace
– The furnace modulates from 40% to 100% capacity. Your furnace can provide the most comfort and efficiency as it gives you the exact amount of heat you need in any weather.
– Lower heat & longer run cycles create warm consistent temperatures throughout the house.
– While modulating furnaces can be somewhat more expensive, they are unmatched for comfort, quietness, and energy efficiency.
– With a variable speed motor and thermostat designed to optimize the operation of your modulating furnace, you enjoy warm winters and great savings on your energy bills.
