Columbus residents have many options when selecting a new unit to heat their homes. A heat pump is a fine choice, but many people in the area turn to furnaces to complete their heating and cooling systems. While an air conditioner produces efficient cooling throughout the summer, a furnace will deliver plenty of usable heat to keep your family warm all winter long.
If you need a new heating system for your Columbus, OH, area house, there are many factors that homeowners need to be aware of. When shopping for natural gas furnaces, a propane furnace, or oil furnaces, furnace cost, new furnace technology, and the AFUE efficiency rating are all elements that will affect your decision.

Replacing your old unit is the best way to gain the energy efficiency and energy savings you want while eliminating comfort issues such as cold spots and not enough heat.

If you’re looking for the quietest furnace, we’ll share options with quiet operation, such as a variable-speed gas furnace, which also helps you save on energy consumption. If high efficiency is what you seek, explore options with a high AFUE rating, such as a two-stage gas furnace or condensing furnace with a secondary heat exchanger that essentially converts combustion exhaust byproducts into more usable heat for your home. If furnace cost is a concern and you need a budget-friendly choice, we can help you evaluate a range of single-stage furnaces that deliver dependable heat at a price you can afford.
A furnace is a type of heating system that uses fuel to generate heat. A natural gas furnace or oil furnace burns fuel in a process called combustion which makes usable heat to create heated air. A furnace that operates using electricity has electric heating elements that generate heat to raise the temperature inside a house.
When shopping for a furnace to have installed in your house, there are a range of options to choose from. There are different types of furnaces with various technology features designed to save users money with high annual fuel utilization efficiency ratings, as well as qualities to make for a pleasant user experience.
Before you select a new natural gas furnace or oil furnace for installation in your Columbus home, here are some of the important furnace qualities you should consider as you choose which unit to purchase.
The energy efficiency rating of a furnace is the unit AFUE rating, which stands for annual fuel utilization efficiency. A heat pump, on the other hand, displays its heating efficiency rating as HSPF, which means heating seasonal performance factor. The minimum efficiency rating for any furnace you wish to buy will be 80% AFUE, though the efficiency rating can go all the way up to around a 98% AFUE rating. High-efficiency furnaces such as a variable-speed gas furnace with a variable-speed blower, variable-speed fan, and multi-stage gas valve, or a condensing furnace with a secondary heat exchanger are considered high-efficiency models. Single-stage gas furnaces are typically standard efficiency furnaces.
Furnaces with the ENERGY STAR label are high-efficiency and are a great option if you wish to save money on energy bills. An electric furnace or heat pump will offer the highest AFUE rating, but it can be expensive to operate due to energy costs. How gas and oil furnaces work involves the combustion of fuel to heat the air and raise the indoor temperature of the house, and access to natural gas or heating oil is required. Consider utility prices for natural gas, electricity, and heating oil before you decide which fuel type to use for your new heating system.
Different types of technology are featured in a furnace, which allows the unit to make more efficient use of energy in various ways. Basic furnace models operate at a single speed at all times. These furnaces generate the most energy waste and cost the most to operate as there are no controls to vary operating speeds. However, basic models a, like single-stage gas systems, have lower purchase costs, as the unit efficiency rating typically correlates with upfront costs.
A two-stage gas furnace can operate at high speed as needed, but the majority of the time, its controls will access low speeds to save energy and cut utility costs. Even at low speeds, the unit delivers a steady stream of heated air and keep the temperature held steady inside the house. To keep the temperature held steady in the house, the system continuously delivers heat in rooms throughout the living space. This type of system generally delivers better indoor air quality compared to a furnace with lower efficiency.
Choosing between the many models of gas furnaces and oil furnaces can seem like a daunting task, but Buckeye Heating, Cooling & Plumbing aims to make the process of having new furnaces installed simple for our customers. It doesn’t matter if you’re looking for an ENERGY STAR unit with high energy efficiency from variable speed controls and additional features or a standard efficiency gas furnace that gets the job done – Buckeye Heating, Cooling & Plumbing is here to help.

Let our staff explain how furnaces work to provide efficient heating, the impact a furnace has on home air quality, and even how the furnace efficiency rating will impact the upfront furnace cost as well as the energy costs you can expect over the life of the furnace.
