Our team at Allison Air Comfort Solutions can evaluate your home and energy costs to recommend the best option.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6fa21ac2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6fa21ac2\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-extended\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4c783f5e\" data-id=\"4c783f5e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-465c12bc elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"465c12bc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Understanding AFUE Ratings<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a858ada elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"a858ada\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74315464 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"74315464\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-6e0607a9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6e0607a9\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-extended\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-46f389cf\" data-id=\"46f389cf\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48dfd6ca elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"48dfd6ca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong style='color:#e0e0e0'>AFUE<\/strong> stands for <strong style='color:#e0e0e0'>Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency<\/strong>, and it is the standard measurement used to rate the energy efficiency of furnaces and boilers. Expressed as a percentage, AFUE tells you how much of the fuel your furnace consumes is actually converted into usable heat for your home versus how much is lost as waste.<\/p><h4 style='color:#ffffff'>What the Numbers Mean<\/h4><p>An AFUE rating of 96% means that for every dollar you spend on fuel, 96 cents goes directly toward heating your home and only 4 cents is lost through exhaust and other inefficiencies. Here is how the ratings break down in practical terms:<\/p><ul><li style='margin-bottom:10px'><strong style='color:#e0e0e0'>80% AFUE (Standard Efficiency):<\/strong> This is the minimum efficiency allowed by federal regulations for new non-weatherized gas furnaces. These units use a single heat exchanger and vent exhaust gases at higher temperatures. While they cost less upfront, they waste roughly 20 cents of every fuel dollar. An 80% furnace may be appropriate when budget is the primary concern or when replacing an older unit in a home with an existing standard-vent setup.<\/li><li style='margin-bottom:10px'><strong style='color:#e0e0e0'>90% to 95% AFUE (High Efficiency):<\/strong> These furnaces use a secondary heat exchanger to capture additional heat from the exhaust gases before they are vented. This process causes the exhaust to condense (hence the name &quot;condensing furnace&quot;), and the resulting condensate is drained away through a small pipe. High-efficiency furnaces use PVC pipe for venting instead of metal flue pipes, which simplifies installation in many homes.<\/li><li style='margin-bottom:10px'><strong style='color:#e0e0e0'>96% to 98.5% AFUE (Ultra-High Efficiency):<\/strong> The top-tier furnaces on the market today squeeze nearly every bit of energy from the fuel. These are typically modulating furnaces with variable-speed blower motors. The energy savings over a standard 80% furnace can be substantial, often saving homeowners hundreds of dollars per year on heating bills depending on the climate and fuel costs.<\/li><\/ul><h4 style='color:#ffffff'>Calculating Your Savings<\/h4><p>Upgrading from an older 70% AFUE furnace to a new 96% AFUE model means you will use approximately 27% less fuel to produce the same amount of heat. If you currently spend $1,200 per year on heating fuel, that upgrade could save you around $325 annually. Over the 15 to 20 year lifespan of the furnace, those savings add up to thousands of dollars and help offset the higher initial cost of a premium unit.<\/p><p>Our technicians at Allison Air Comfort Solutions can perform a detailed energy analysis of your home to help you determine which AFUE level offers the best combination of upfront cost and long-term savings for your specific situation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7ccb748c\" data-id=\"7ccb748c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2294ad86 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2294ad86\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-extended\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-459a3e2d\" data-id=\"459a3e2d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-738cb0cb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"738cb0cb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">When to Replace Your Furnace<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a4ca60e elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"5a4ca60e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c728895 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4c728895\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style='text-align:center'>No furnace lasts forever.

While a technician may be able to adjust the burners, a yellow flame in an older furnace can be a sign of a cracked or corroded heat exchanger, which is one of the most serious and costly furnace failures and typically warrants full replacement.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1993ae0c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1993ae0c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-extended\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-75ebd20f\" data-id=\"75ebd20f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a9fb253 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4a9fb253\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Why Choose Allison Air Comfort Solutions for Your Furnace?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c481c0b elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"1c481c0b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c6594ca elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1c6594ca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style='text-align:center'>Selecting the right HVAC contractor is just as important as selecting the right furnace.
