What do Good Furnaces Have in Common?
The best furnaces are efficient. They keep a home warm and comfortable. They provide steady, dependable performance year after year. And they are quiet, long-lasting and low in service frequency and cost.
Which Furnaces are Energy Efficient?
When a furnace loses or wastes heat, it requires more energy to keep your home warm. Some furnaces are constructed with thinner metals and lower insulation values increasing noise levels and loss of heat capacity. Energy-efficient furnaces like Ruud‘s full line of state-of-the-art gas furnaces significantly reduce consumption while providing noise reduction.
During the off cycle, some furnaces allow warm, conditioned air to escape through the ventilation system. The Ruud products feature an induced-draft blower motor that continues to run for a period of time to ensure all harmful fumes are vented. As the burner cycles off, the draft blower stops, keeping the heating air in the system.
Pilot lights also can be wasteful. Ruud’s electronic ignition system eliminates the need for a constantly burning pilot. Electronic ignition in combination with the induced-draft blower motor improves efficiency while maintaining maximum safety.
Most gas furnaces vent combustion by-products and gases by allowing the warm air to rise naturally. However, on occasion, proper venting of combustion by-products may be restricted due to blockage, deterioration of venting systems, malfunctions or other causes.
Ruud’s airflow pressure switches and temperature safety controls provide peace of mind while owning a gas furnace.
The highest rated gas furnaces, 90%+ feature a totally enclosed heat chamber with intake and exhaust air. These systems are a slightly higher investment, but the financial return on fuel cost will offset the initial cost over the life time of the furnace.
Are some furnaces better than others?
Definitely. Features to look for include heat exchangers that resist corrosion, direct-drive blower units, induced draft blowers, pressure switches, and an insulated blower compartment, which helps minimize operating noise.
The best brands but a convincing warranty behind their work. Ruud furnaces offer one of the very best Limited Lifetime Heat Exchanger Warranties.
