What is a Gas Furnace?

A gas furnace is a heating system that uses natural gas to heat a home. The gas is burned in a combustion chamber to heat air, which is then circulated through the home using a system of ducts and vents. 

The heated air is then distributed through the house via registers or grills. Gas furnaces are used in homes and buildings because they are efficient and relatively inexpensive. Types of gas furnaces we install include

• Single-stage gas furnace: one stage of operation, meaning it is either on or off.
• Two-stage gas furnace: two stages of operation, allowing it to run at a lower, more energy-efficient setting most of the time and switching to a higher setting only when more heat is needed.
• Modulating gas furnace: adjusts the heat output in small increments, allowing it to run at the most energy-efficient setting possible.
• Condensing gas furnace: more efficient than a traditional gas furnace, it uses a second heat exchanger to capture the heat from the combustion gasses that would normally be vented out.
• High-efficiency gas furnace: has a high Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating, meaning it converts a high percentage of the fuel it uses into heat for the home.

What are the Benefits of a Gas Furnace?

There are several advantages of a gas furnace over other types of home heating systems.

• Energy efficiency: Gas furnaces are generally more energy efficient than electric heaters, which can lead to lower energy costs and a smaller carbon footprint.
• Quick heating: Gas-powered furnaces can heat a home quickly, which can be especially beneficial during cold weather.
• Cost-effective: Gas is typically less expensive than electricity, making gas furnaces a cost-effective option for heating a home.
• Safety: These heating systems are designed to be safe and have multiple safety features to prevent gas leaks and other safety hazards.
• Comfort: A properly sized and properly installed gas furnace can provide comfortable and consistent heat throughout the home.
• Environmentally friendly: Gas is cleaner burning than oil and coal, which means less pollution and less environmental impact.
