The biggest users of energy in the home are the Heating and Air Conditioning Systems. Infact they often account for over 70% of the utility bill. By using a new high efficiency furnace instead of a ten year old furnace you can save an enormous amount of money - up to 50% saving! Today's high efficiency furnaces can be up to 94% efficient and the minimum efficiency allowed is 78%. Most old furnaces have an efficiency of 65% or less. We can supply a wide range of Furnaces, and will advise you on how to maximize your investment in a new furnace to give you the best return.

How do furnaces and boilers work? Gas- and oil-fired furnaces provide warm, even heat throughout your home by circulating heated air through ducts. The heat is created by burning the fuel (gas or oil) inside your furnace. (Some furnaces use outside air to help burn the fuel; others use air from inside your home.) When the fuel burns, the hot gases that are created go through curved metal tubing called a heat exchanger and then out of your home through a metal or plastic vent pipe. At the same time, the air that circulates through your ducts passes over the outside of the heat exchanger and takes on the heat from the hot metal. The warm air is then circulated through your home. (By keeping combustion air and supply air separate, the heat exchanger allows the air in your home to be heated without contaminating it with the toxic by-products of combustion.) | ||
