There are three common options for furnace installation in Westminster: natural gas, liquid propane, and electric. Natural gas is the preferable and most common option because it’s affordable and convenient. The issue is that not all homes have natural gas access. In those cases, liquid propane is the top alternative. An electric furnace is a clean choice but can be expensive due to electricity rates. If you have the option to switch to natural gas or even propane, the conversion is usually worth it, and we can help with the process.
The industry uses the annual fuel utilization efficiency ratio (AFUE) to gauge the efficiency of gas furnaces. Mid-efficiency furnaces have an AFUE rating between 80 and 89. AFUE 80 means that a furnace turns 80% of the fuel it burns into home heating. High-efficiency furnaces have an AFUE rating of 90 or higher. Some are even as high as 98.5. That can make a significant difference in your heating costs over the years, but not all homes can accommodate high-AFUE furnaces. We’ll do all the calculations to make sure your new system is safely integrated with your home and meets your budget.
Another option for your heating installation is what the industry calls hybrid heating or a dual-source heat pump. This system has a heat pump and a mid-efficiency furnace. It provides both heating and cooling. You’ll benefit from affordable heat pump warmth most of the time. When it’s too cold for the heat pump to be efficient, you’ll benefit from the furnace instead.
Once you’ve made these decisions, we’ll perform a load calculation to size your new system accurately. That will help to minimize your long-term costs. You can then explore your energy efficiency options among models with the appropriate output.
Good energy efficiency will save you money in operating costs. It can also save you money in rebates, tax credits, and other incentives. Look for the ENERGY STAR label, which most of these offers require and can qualify you for rebates. Often, the biggest rebates are available for heat pumps. If you opt for a standalone furnace, you may need to target a high-efficiency fuel-burning system to qualify.
A new furnace installation can enhance your home in many ways.
Faster home heating
Better indoor air quality
Smaller carbon footprint
Safer and quieter operation
Higher home value
