Furnaces & Boilers:
The Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE), a measure of overall energy performance, rates the efficiency of new furnaces and boilers. The national efficiency standard for furnaces took
effect in 1992, requiring that each new unit have an AFUE of at least 78%. In comparison, many old furnaces and boilers have AFUE ratings of only 55 – 65%, and often perform at lower levels due to age or maintenance issues. When buying a new furnace, make sure its heating capacity is appropriate for your home. If the insulation and/or windows in your home have been upgraded since the heating equipment was installed, you may be able to use a less powerful furnace or boiler. Oversized furnaces operate less efficiently because they cycle on and off more frequently; in addition, larger furnaces are more expensive to buy. Jiffy can do a heat loss analysis of your home to size your new heating equipment.
Heat Pumps: “Split System” Air Conditioners
A heat pump keeps your home cool in the summer by drawing heat out of your home, and warm in the winter by drawing heat from the outside air into your home to heat it. Additionally, heat pumps can have booster electrical-resistance strips that will further heat the air being drawn in from outside. A heat pump’s cooling efficiency is rated in SEER (SEASONAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY RATIO). Heating efficiency is rated in HSPF (HEATING SYSTEM PERFORMANCE FACTOR), the higher the number, 5, 6 or 7, the more efficient the unit.
