Numerous factors come into play when selecting the optimal heating system for your residence. Let us guide you on that and keep it always functional. This is what you need to take into consideration:
Gas Furnace
In America, gas furnaces are the preferred choice for many homeowners due to their cost-effectiveness and higher efficiency ratings compared to alternative options. However, gas furnaces generally have a higher initial installation cost, typically around 10-25% more than oil furnaces:
- While natural gas furnaces deliver better energy efficiency (measured by AFUE) and lower fuel expenses, they necessitate a gas supply or installation of a gas line in your home.
- Gas furnaces require annual maintenance but are known for their reliability and long lifespan of up to 20 years (with the average being 15-30 years).
Electric Furnace
Comparatively, electric furnaces do not offer significant advantages or disadvantages, although they tend to result in higher heating costs. However, electric furnaces often have a longer lifespan than other heating systems.
Oil Furnace
Oil furnaces are typically cheaper to install than gas furnaces but are less efficient. The price of oil is more volatile than gas, leading most U.S. homeowners to opt for natural gas furnaces due to higher energy efficiency and stability in gas prices.
Maintaining an oil furnace involves periodic refills of the on-site oil storage tank, requiring occasional oil deliveries. While maintenance and service for oil furnaces are straightforward, they can be more costly due to increased dirt and soot accumulation.
Selecting a New Furnace
Improper installation of HVAC systems is a common issue, resulting in higher energy costs, premature malfunctions, and indoor air quality concerns. An accurately sized and professionally installed heating system is crucial to prevent these problems.
