The Decision In A Nutshell:

Like most homeowners, if you’ve done any research online you may be feeling a little overwhelmed; even frustrated. There’s loads of technical details; enough to make your eyes glaze over. Let’s see if we can simplify, in general terms, what is involved in making the right decision for you. We hope this helps.
Let’s frame the decision in simplest terms. Let’s use the familiar ‘Good, Better and Best’.

In this graph you see, the more you invest the greater TRUE comfort, efficiency, the quieter it operates and the better air quality.
Keep in mind you’re making this decision one time and living with it for 20 years. It makes no difference to us which one you select.

Here’s a little more about the specifics to help you understand and the variables that determine a move up or down and the corresponding furnace costs and prices ranges. We’ll begin by keeping the AFUE at 95/96%.

FACT:
“What many home owners don’t realize is that a unit uses more energy in the first three to five minutes ramping up compressors and coils than in the next 25 minutes of continuous running,”  Most homeowners think just the opposite”. A single-speed furnace or air conditioner comes on full-blast no matter what. That may be okay in the dead of winter or heat of summer, but in the spring or fall, when outdoor air temperatures are less extreme, a single-speed unit may heat or cool rooms too quickly. You should realize a heater or air conditioner is the right size (less than 9 days a year) when it is 14 degrees in the winter or 95 degrees in the summer. All the other times your system is over sized unless you consider modulating to match the outside temperature loss and gain or a two stage to help the energy condition and comfort.
