They provide a gentler heat and have a lower installation cost.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our team can help you determine whether a gas- or electric-powered furnace is best for your home and budget.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3 style=\"line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 12.0pt 0in;\">What Are AFUE ratings?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>AFUE stands for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency. It&#8217;s the energy-efficiency metric for furnaces that represents the percentage of heat produced for every dollar of fuel it uses.<\/p>\n<p>81% AFUE is the minimum efficiency requirement for gas furnaces, but 90% AFUE and higher is ideal. All electric furnaces have a 100% AFUE rating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3 style=\"line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 12.0pt 0in;\">Why does my furnace smell bad?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>If your furnace emits a strange odor, the type of odor can indicate the cause:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Smoke odors <\/strong>are likely caused by an issue with your furnace&#8217;s electrical connections and wiring. It&#8217;s a fire hazard, so turn off your furnace and call a professional for a repair.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Burning plastic or rubber odors<\/strong> could signal that one or several components of your furnace are damaged or overheating. Shut off the furnace immediately and schedule a repair.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rotten egg odors <\/strong>indicate a natural gas leak. You should leave your home immediately, call your utility company to shut off the gas, and call your home service team to <a href=\"https:\/\/lentheplumber.com\/philadelphia-area\/plumbing\/gas-line-repair-replacement\/\">repair the gas line<\/a> and furnace.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heating oil odors <\/strong>are signs that your furnace likely needs to be cleaned.
