Why upgrade to high efficiency?

Using higher efficiency heating equipment translates to more effective energy consumption. This can provide significant benefits for your property, your comfort, and our environment.

• Savings on annual heating costs
• Improved comfort
• Reduced risk of equipment failure
• Fewer emissions

Not to mention, higher efficiency air conditioning systems provide the same rewards during the warmer months!

So, what makes a system high efficiency?

Each furnace or boiler’s efficiency is measured by annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE). Simply put, this rating represents how much heat the system gives off, taking into account the energy consumed by the system’s operation. High-efficiency heating systems most commonly share these characteristics:

• 90% to 98.5% AFUE
• Sealed combustion
• ENERGY STAR® approval
