To Choose the Best Furnace for Your Home, Start Here
Determine Your Budget
The cost for your new furnace isn’t limited to the unit and installation. You also need to have an idea of your monthly energy costs. For example, purchasing a cheaper system that costs more to operate will be more expensive in the long run. A more efficient model, meanwhile, will likely have greater upfront costs but won’t use as much energy over the course of its lifespan.
So, to determine your total budget, consider what you can afford to spend now and what you think you can afford on utility bills in the future. Be sure to include a small amount for annual furnace maintenance, too.
Choose the Right Furnace Size
The size of your furnace is more important than you might think! If you choose one that’s too large, it won’t cycle properly, which will cost you energy and provide inadequate heating. Likewise, choosing a system that’s too small will make it harder to heat your house properly. It can also lead to greater strain on the furnace, causing problems and potentially breakdowns.
Pick a Reputable Brand
The best furnace is one that will last you for years with minimal repair. That’s why you should research furnace brands before you make your final choice. A quality furnace with a good warranty is important. Combine that with a local HVAC dealer you can trust, and you can save money and inconvenience in the long run. For example, ComfortAire is a factory-authorized dealer for Bryant heating and cooling systems, a brand we proudly stand behind.
Consider Rebates and Financing Options
Depending on where you purchase your new furnace, you may be eligible for options that can help you save on costs. Shop for new furnaces that come with rebate offers. You can also apply for financing to help you pay for your unit over time. ComfortAire offers several special financing plans. It’s easy to apply directly from our website.
