Choosing the Right Equipment

A1 will help choose the right equipment for your home to save you money in the short and long term by:

Evaluating purchase cost against savings in gas and hydro over the equipment’s life span.

Determining size of equipment required.

Determining factors such as insulation, airflow, number of windows and skylights.

Why consider a high efficiency condensing furnace?

As energy costs continue to increase, the operating efficiency of your furnace becomes an extremely important consideration in your buying decision.

If you have anything other than a high efficiency condensing furnace, at least 20% of your heat is going straight up the chimney.

Not only will a condensing furnace save you a significant amount on heating costs over the lifetime of your furnace, it is also safer and quieter.

And since the combustion unit is sealed, there is no connection to the air in your house making the release of pollutants into your home unlikely.

Infinitely variable speed motors lower electricity costs

The single best way to lower your overall costs is installing a furnace with an infinitely variable speed motor.

It can reduce your heating costs up to 10%; reduce your cooling costs up to 16% and add up to 2 SEER points.

Not only will it cut the electricity required to keep air circulating, it will also offer you more control, greater comfort and quieter operation with a soft start.
