Furnaces - Vancouver WA
Vancouver-Clark County specialists in residential furnace filters, parts, service and installation!
A furnace is the heart of a central heating and cooling system. This is the part of the system that houses the indoor blower fan and is connected to the homes ductwork. There are many types of furnaces, Gas, Oil, & Electric. The most common type in Clark County is an electric furnace or typically called and Air Handler. The majority (and we highly recommend) of electric furnaces are in connection with a Heat Pump to save utility costs.
The second most common and very comfortable is the natural gas furnace. Propane is an alternate fuel option for those outside of the natural gas distribution grid. Natural gas furnaces are extremely safe! Natural gas furnaces are rated in efficiency with an A.F.U.E. (Annual Fuel Utilization Economy). A high efficiency furnace would have an A.F.U.E. rating of over 90%. This means that whatever the rating is for example 95 are what in % of heat that is transferred into your ductwork. The remaining 5% is the amount of heat that goes out of your chimney. Many older furnaces have an A.F.U.E rating of 70-80, which means there is a tremendous energy savings available.
The newer natural gas furnaces are so efficient that the chimney is PVC pipe.
Furnaces are positioned in many areas of existing homes. They can be in basements, attics, closets, crawl spaces, and most are found in the homes garage. In a new retrofit installation where there is no existing ductwork, there are many options to consider. The most important day in the life of a heating/cooling system is the day it is installed. Heating and cooling loads, air-flow, ductwork size, code requirements, space restrictions, and quality of workmanship are just a few of the important considerations. One of our friendly, knowledgeable Comfort Advisors can get you the information you need to make a wise decision in upgrading, replacing, or adding a new forced air furnace to your home.
