Gas furnaces generate heat using a burner powered by propane or natural gas. Electric furnaces rely on heated coils powered by electricity.<\/p>\n<p>An electric furnace offers optimal energy efficiency and are safer because they don&#8217;t produce carbon monoxide. However, gas is often cheaper than electricity, so gas furnaces are less expensive to operate and offer faster, more intense heat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3 style=\"line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 12.0pt 0in;\">What are AFUE ratings?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>An AFUE rating tells you how efficiently your furnace operates. The higher the rating, the more energy-efficient the furnace will be.<\/p>\n<p>As of January 1, 2023, all newly installed furnaces in the U.S. must be 81% AFUE or higher. 81% AFUE means 81% of the energy used turns into heat for your home, while the other 19% is wasted. Electric furnaces have 100% AFUE, so they&#8217;re the most energy-efficient.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3 style=\"line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 12.0pt 0in;\">Is it normal for a furnace to be loud?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>It is normal for your furnace to be louder when turning on and off. However, if you hear any of the following sounds during operation, you may need furnace repair:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Banging<\/li>\n<li>Scraping<\/li>\n<li>Shrieking<\/li>\n<li>Rattling<\/li>\n<li>Whistling<\/li>\n<li>Popping<\/li>\n<li>Humming<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From chilly spring nights to cold winter days, your furnace keeps your home cozy.
