Furnace Replacement FAQ: Advantage Heating & Cooling LLC

AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) measures how efficiently a furnace converts fuel into usable heat for your home.

80% AFUE: About 80¢ of every fuel dollar becomes heat, while 20¢ is lost.
96% AFUE: Roughly 96¢ goes toward heating, with minimal waste.
99% AFUE: Nearly all fuel is converted into heat.

Today’s furnaces typically range from 80% to 99% AFUE, with higher ratings delivering greater long-term energy savings.

Yes—especially when evaluated over a typical 20-year furnace lifespan.

A 99% AFUE furnace uses approximately 19.2% less gas than an 80% model. Based on $800 in first-year heating costs:

0% fuel increase: ≈ $3,072 saved over 20 years
2% fuel increase: ≈ $3,744 saved
4% fuel increase: ≈ $4,464 saved

High-efficiency ECM blower motors also reduce electricity use, saving about $3,256 over 20 years.

Total estimated savings: ≈ $6,300–$7,700.

Because fuel prices can spike unexpectedly, higher-efficiency systems often outperform conservative savings estimates.

Improved resale value
Reduced environmental impact

PSC motors: ~840 kWh per season (≈ $175/year)
ECM motors: ~270 kWh per season (≈ $56/year)

That’s roughly $120 per year in savings, or about $3,250 over 20 years under Michigan conditions.

Single-stage: One heat output level. Lowest upfront cost, but least efficient and less consistent comfort.
Two-stage: Operates on low most of the time, switching to high during extreme cold for quieter operation and better efficiency.
Modulating: Adjusts heat output in small increments with an ECM blower for the quietest operation and most stable indoor temperatures.

With routine professional maintenance, most furnaces last 15–20 years. Systems that receive little or no maintenance may fail in under 10 years.

System age approaching 20 years
Cracked heat exchanger or failed safety inspection
Recurring repair costs year after year
Increasing energy bills despite service
Uneven heating, excessive noise, or short cycling
