Heating and Furnace Installation in San Antonio, TX
We serve San Antonio, Helotes, Bulverde, Canyon Lake, New Braunfels, Schertz, and Cibolo
Replacing your outdated furnace for a new energy-efficient model is a twofold benefit. You'll have a furnace that can efficiently heat your entire home, and you'll reduce the money you spend on heating over the chilly San Antonio winters.
Older furnace models are nowhere near as efficient as newer models. The improvements in the area of heating in recent years would surprise you. The annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) of an older furnace model is in the 50 to 70% range. In contrast, the latest models on the market today achieve an AFUE as high as 98%. That's a lot of savings.
Moreover, getting the right-sized furnace is essential to improve efficiency as well. Bigger is not always better since a large furnace will cycle more frequently, and the process puts a lot of strain on the furnace components. You also might have to install larger ducts to handle the increased airflow. We'll help you calculate the optimal furnace to meet your heating needs without exceeding them.
Gas Furnace Vs. Electric Furnace
Gas Furnaces
Natural gas heating predates electric furnaces, and it’s still a popular way to heat your home. These furnaces work a lot like a big gas stove. A gas burner produces warm air, and a circulating fan pushes that air out into your living space.
electric furnaces
Electric furnaces function much like an air handler. Heating elements in this type of furnace are powered by electricity. A blower motor extracts heat from your home and pushes it through the heating elements to produce warm airflow.
Gas vs. electric
One of the main benefits of using an electric furnace is that you don't need a natural gas line to power it. It can be installed simply in many cases and can heat your entire home in areas like San Antonio, where the cold isn't as relentless.
Comparatively, gas furnaces are often much more powerful than electric ones. A modern gas furnace won't have an issue warming up your home even during the coldest day of the year. Moreover, gas heating tends to be cheaper than electric.
