Furnace Replacement or Installation Services
Like
heat pumps, furnaces keep your Tennessee home warm in the winter and serve
as an important part of your
air
conditioning system in the summer. In a furnace, gas or oil is combusted in
a burner and then heat produced from that reaction passes through a heat
exchanger where it is transferred to the air distribution system.
Single-Stage Furnaces
Your furnace and fan is either on or off. Pretty simple, huh? A salesperson
can say that a single-stage furnace has multiple speeds. Why? Every home has a
unique heat load that is supposed to be calculated for you by your
heating and air conditioning contractor.
The single-stage furnace does have optional speeds, but it is hard wired to one. Two-Stage Furnaces
Two-stage furnaces are more efficient and more effective at heating your
Syracuse area home. Furnaces are like light bulbs, they operate better if they
are turned on and left on. If you flick a light switch on and off, over and
over, that bulb is toast. The same goes for furnaces. Running at 65% for 9
minutes is better than 100% for 3 minutes several times an hour. It uses less gas and is easier on the machine.
Multi-Speed Furnaces
In single-stage furnaces, if you want your fan on for circulation - the fan
is always on high. It is the only option. Not only is that hard on the utility
bill, but a fan on high means the warm air is moving fast - warm air moving fast
creates a cool breeze. In variable furnaces, the fan turns over slowly to
maintain air circulation while being easy on the utility bill. By the way, most
air cleaners and filtration devices are only active when the furnace blower is
on. So the best way to utilize these accessories is to have a variable speed
blower. Switching its blower fan from a/c current to d/c current only draws 1/10
the electricity..
